Description
Fucoxanthin, a carotenoid from the xanthophyll family, meticulously extracted from natural brown algae, seaweed, microalgae, and kelp. Unlike terrestrial crops containing β-carotene and lutein, Fucoxanthin is exclusively sourced from the aquatic environment. Renowned for its multifaceted physiological functions and biological properties, this extract embodies an array of benefits—antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, anti-obesity, antitumor, anti-diabetes, hepatoprotective, cardiovascular, and cerebrovascular protective effects. Its versatile nature allows Fucoxanthin to serve as both a marine drug and a nutritional ingredient, aiding in the prevention and treatment of chronic diseases.
