Fucoidan rich Sea Vegetables by PotentSea®

What is Fucoidan? About 4 percent of the total dry weight of many types of brown seaweed and sea vegetables consists of a polysaccharide known as Fucoidan. Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide that possesses a complex structure. Its chief components include a sulfuric esterified L-fucose, and the trace elements of galactose, xylose, and glucuronic acid. Fucoidan is the subject of a number of university studies. The studies range from weight loss, to anti-aging to cancer prevention. Preliminary tests show that Fucoidan may help to destroy cancerous and pre-cancerous cells while promoting healthy cell function.

Below is a proposed scientific reason as to how Fucoidan accomplishes cancer prevention- however it is only a proposed theory at this point-BUT the best proof is in the pudding! Inhabitants of Okinawa Japan are some of the longest live people on earth. They also enjoy some of the lowest cancer rates. Many researchers have attributed their long life spans to a diet rich in Fucoidan obtained through the five type of sea vegetables found on our Organic PotentSea Sea Vegetables.

How does Fucoidan work to destroy cancer cells?

In the presence of certain substances, as well as under other unusual environmental conditions, cells may self-destruct and disappear altogether. This self-destruct phenomenon is known as apoptosis. It should be distinguished from necrosis, which is the death of cells directly brought about by external stimuli such as poisonous substances or physical damage to the cell.

Properly speaking, apoptosis is brought about by a mechanism that is programmed into the natural makeup of cells. Organisms activate this mechanism when necessary. Once the apoptosis mechanism has been triggered, the genetic blueprint of the cell (DNA) is rendered useless, through activation of the deoxyribonuclease found within the cell itself. Apoptosis thus can be described as a natural means through which living organisms manage to eliminate harmful cells from their systems. Laboratory trials have concluded that Fucoidan may enhance the body's ability to promote aptosis, therefore working to eliminate cancerous and pre-cancerous cells.
