Prescribed Choice Fucoxanthin 90 Caps
Our Fucoxanthin blend is unlike any other fucoxanthin-based formula on the market. We have included two proven ingredients: Green Tea Extract and Hoodia Gordonii for their synergistic effect with fucoxanthin. This carotenoid helps the body metabolize fat faster so that weight loss is increased. Hoodia Gordonii has long been used by indigenous people of Southern Africa to suppress the appetite on long hunting trips. Green Tea Extract has a long history of clinical studies supporting the positive effects on metabolic health and maintaining a healthy weight. Together these ingredients offer an effective weight loss solution.*
Researchers at Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan demonstrated that fucoxanthin was effective in stimulating uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in laboratory animals. The UCP1 protein (known as thermogenin) regulates the activity of a key gene responsible for the body’s temperature control and is responsible for stimulating the breakdown of stored fat*
In these clinical studies on laboratory animals, fucoxanthin supplementation resulted in a 5 to 10 percent reduction in weight*
Initial studies from Japan spawned two new, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trials by Russian scientists involving 150 obese women. What the Russian scientists hypothesized was that fucoxanthin appeared to have strong thermogenic (fat burning) properties, especially on stored fat and, in particular, on white adipose (fat) tissue in the abdomen*
Those who received fucoxanthin in the Russian studies lost an average of 14.5 pounds in 16 weeks versus those receiving the placebo pill, who only lost 3 pounds. Additionally, those taking fucoxanthin raised their metabolic rate an average of 18.2% with body fat losses averaging 11.8 pounds compared to 2.8 pounds in the placebo group*
It is likely that fucoxanthin increases the UCP1 protein by boosting the metabolic rate within the fat cell so that it burns more fat resulting in desired weight*
Fucoxanthin has consistently demonstrated in studies to be supportive in weight loss, especially mobilizing fat stored in the abdominal area*
Fucoxanthin offers a dual function in the body as a compound which supports healthy diet and weight maintenance as well as an antioxidant*
We use an HPLC method of testing which validates our fucoxanthin to contain pure 5% fucoxanthin, with NO contaminates*
Our Fucoxanthin formula is an ideal addition to a regulated exercise and diet program*
Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid derived from brown seaweed and is responsible for the brown hue in seaweed’s color*
Carotenoids are substances which possess antioxidant properties and protect the body from free radicals*
