FUCOMAX®

FOR YOUR GASTROINTESTINAL HEALTH

FucoMax® is a naturally occurring fucoidan extracted from three different sea plants:
• Undaria pinnatifida (HARVEY) SURINGAR (Alga wakamè)
• Laminaria saccharina (L.) LAMOUROUX (Alga Kombu) – Syn: Laminaria japonica
• Cladosiphon okamuranus (Okinawa mozuku)

FucoMax® is produced by state-of-the-art and proprietary technologies which ensure the highest levels of purity (7-85%), the lowest levels of heavy metals and a very low Iodine content (about 100 ppm).
• Fucoidans (other common names are Fucoidin or Fucan) are complex polysaccharides found in many species of brown seaweed.
• Fucoidans are polymers of L-fucose mainly linked with α (1>2) and α (1>4) bonds. They can be made of several thousand fucose units with a molecular weight around 200,000.
• Fucoidans are bioactive carbohydrate compounds, classified as dietary fiber due to an apparent lack of absorption in similar manners as Beta-glucans or Ginseng polysaccharides.
• Fucoidans have a high solubility in water and form viscus solutions.
