Fucoxanthin-Slim™
90 softgels
Item Catalog Number: 00993

Japanese and Russian scientists recently discovered a novel compound in marine vegetables that could be the best strategy to counter the growing weight problem experienced by modern societies. Fucoxanthin, a natural carotenoid found in edible seaweed, possesses strong thermogenic and visceral fat reducing properties that may support a normal metabolic rate and contribute to healthy weight management.26*

By stimulating the expression of the uncoupling protein-1 (UPC-1) gene in the mitochondria of fat cells and suppressing fat cell differentiation,27 fucoxanthin promotes thermogenesis (fat burning) and suppresses lipid accumulation in white fat cells.28* White fat cells are those that accumulate in the liver and around the belly as a result of being overweight. Dietary fucoxanthin could help maintain healthy blood glucose and insulin concentrations.29

This supplement should be taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise program. Results may vary.
