Pharmacological Benefits of Brown Seaweed
Seaweeds have been known to have pharmacological benefits since ancient times and in the book "The Divine Farmer's Herb-Root Classic," believed to be the oldest book on medicinal substances in China, mentions the ability of a seaweed known to heal tumor.
Mozuku (Cladosiphon Okamuranus) is from genus Caldosiphon, which is naturally found in Okinawa, Japan. Mozuku is rich in Fucoidan and it is the species with the highest amounts of sulfated polysaccharides. Fucoidan from Mozuku is very safe and has a very strong potential for gastric protection and Angiogenesis inhibition. It also has been studied for its antiulcer and adhesion inhibitor activity for Helicobacter Pylori and for its ability to inhibit stomach cancer cells.
Mekabu (Wakame - Undaria pinnatifida) has been grown for hundreds of years in Japan, Korea, Argentina, and other parts of the world. Fucoidan from Mekabu has been studied for its positive effects on inhibition of Herpes. Mekabu is the most commonly eaten seaweed in Japan, it contains sulfated poysaccharides and other components with anti-tumor and antiviral activity. It is very nutritious, having abundant protein, polysaccharide, and minerals.
Kombu(Laminara japonica) has demonstrated to have antioxidant activities. Fucoidan of Kombu has also been studied for its anti-tumor and antiviral effects. Many studies point out that Fucoidan from this species presents significant antioxidant activity and has a great potential for preventing free radical-mediated diseases.

Fucoidan: Anti-Cancer Agent
Fucoidan is very well known for its cancer fighting activity along suppressing cancer cells and cutting down the supply of nutrients which will prevent it from growing into large tumors and spreading (metastasis) to other parts of your body.

Recommended Fucoidan by Dr. Tachikawa
1. Umi No Shizuku Fucoidan
Umi No Shizuku FUCOIDAN contains 30g of Fucoidan per bottle (capsule type) and 63.75g per box (drink type) 85% FUCOIDAN, 15% Agaricus. (Contains highest amount of FUCOIDAN content from unique brown seaweeds.)
Uses for Fucoidan
In order to get complete FUCOIDAN’S Health Benefits you need to take the following into consideration:
Health condition
Minor conditions can be from hypertension, common cold and the flu. For these types of diseases or illnesses the amount of FUCOIDAN needed is not very large. Serious conditions like diabetes, HIV, Cancer and others may vary. In order to get the health benefits needed to treat such diseases you will need a specific amount of FUCOIDAN sufficient enough in order to have an effect on your body and health.
How to differentiate HIGH quality over LOW quality FUCOIDAN products?
Since there is no official definition for FUCOIDAN, it is hard to identify standardized FUCOIDAN purity measurements. Furthermore, it is known that different types of brown seaweed have unique molecular structure, therefore each FUCOIDAN have a different level of efficacy so just because a product claims to have FUCOIDAN, it does not mean that its content or quality from brown seaweed is the best. Brown seaweed Mozuku is believed to have the richest FUCOIDAN compared to others.
Seaweed over FUCOIDAN Extract
Even though FUCOIDAN is extracted from brown seaweed, the difference between consuming seaweed blend or raw seaweed rather than having FUCOIDAN extract supplement is very large. You would have to consume 10 lbs of brown seaweed in order to get 1.25 grams of FUCOIDAN. It is also not practical to eat pounds of brown seaweed because of the amount salt and iodine put into the body.
