Key Ingredients:

Fucoidan:
Kombu Fucoidan used in Fucoidan Plus™ is extracted from the brown seaweed Kombu. About 4% of the total dry weight of Kombu consists of a polysaccharide known as Fucoidan.

There are over 500 scientific studies indicating the health benefits derived from the incredible array of nutrients that make up Kombu Fucoidan. Scientific studies indicate that Fucoidan stimulates the production of vital immune cells, giving the body better defense against potential deadly invaders. From ancient times, brown seaweed has been a mainstay of the traditional Japanese diet. Okinawa, whose inhabitants enjoy some of the highest life expectancies in Japan, also happen to have one of the highest per capita consumption rates of Kombu.*

According to Takara’s Biotechnology Research Laboratories, located in Shiga, Japan, Fucoidan derived from Kombu is superior over other types of Fucoidan.

Resveratrol:
Resveratrol is naturally found in the skin of grapes and is known for its antioxidant, anti-infective, anti-aging and anti-inflammatory properties. Scientific studies suggest that Resveratrol is thought to be responsible, in part, for the cholesterol-lowering effects of red wine and may also explain why those consuming diets where red wine consumption is characteristic may have a reduced risk of heart disease. An 8 ounce glass of red wine provides approximately 600 mcg of Resveratrol. You would have to drink approximately three 8 ounce glasses of red wine to equal the amount of Resveratrol found in 1 ounce of Fucoidan Plus™.*

There are over 840 scientific studies indicating the health benefits of Resveratrol.

Elderberry Extract:
Elderberry is known for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, and antiviral properties. Elderberry’s healing effects originate in substances called flavonoids. As antihistamines, flavonoids can be useful in the treatment of allergies. As antioxidants, they help counteract the cell destruction caused by toxic molecules called free radicals. As antivirals, they aid the body in fighting off infection, which makes the elderberry a very useful plant. Studies indicate that Elderberry is beneficial in fighting off flu and colds and also helps with asthma.*

There are over 90 scieintific studies indicating the health benefits of Elderberry.

Green Tea Extract:
Green Tea was first discovered in China nearly 5,000 years ago and has long been thought to be beneficial to health. Green Tea supports natural energy and vitality. It is rich in bioflavonoids and antioxidants. Scientific studies indicate nutrients found in Green Tea are anti-bacterial and are known to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, help lower cholesterol, reduce inflammation, and help lower blood pressure.*

There are over 1400 scieintific studies indicating the health benefits of Green Tea.

Aloe Vera:
Aloe vera is a nutritional storehouse, which helps cleanse and rejuvenate the intestinal tract. It contains active ingredients including essential oils, amino acids, minerals, vitamins, enzymes, polysaccharides, and essential fatty acids. Traditionally, aloe vera has been used to help cleanse and rejuvenate the intestinal tract, promote digestion, and act as a carrier for other active ingredients. The aloe vera leaf gel in Fucoidan Plus™ is processed in a unique way to avoid the loss of essential vitamins, minerals and other active ingredients.*

There are over 400 scieintific studies indicating the health benefits of aloe vera.

Noni (Morinda citrifolia):
Noni has been used for more than one thousand years in traditional healing practices of natives in Hawaii, Polynesia and other Pacific Islands. Noni supports immune function and antioxidant defense. Scientific studies suggest Noni may support immune-system disorders such as bacterial and viral infections and respiratory problems.*

There are over 30 scieintific studies indicating the health benefits of Noni.

Aquamin™:
Aquamin™ is mineralized red seaweed that is harvested from the seabed off the west cost of Ireland from clear, pollution-free, mineral-rich Atlantic waters. Aquamin™ is an excellent source of ionic minerals and is known for its ability to attract and concentrate desirable minerals from the sea.*

There are over 300 scieintific studies indicating the health benefits of sea minerals.

Pau d’Arco:
This plant extract has been historically valued for its anti-fungal properties and health protective benefits by the native people of South and Central America.*
