Various types of seaweed are staples in East Asian diets and have been traditionally used for centuries. Today, scientists have identified important natural components in seaweed, such as Fucoxanthin. Preliminary lab evidence suggests Fucoxanthin may contribute to cellular well-being. Fucoxanthin is also known as Fucoidan.

Though it is still a relatively new product and there is a lot more to figure out about it, some metabolic and nutritional studies indicate that fucoxanthin may help promote fat burning. Research suggests fucoxanthin helps people burn fat quickly and lose weight with increased effectiveness.
