Fucoidan also contains other monosaccharides (mannose, galactose, glucose, xylose, etc.), uronic acids, acetyl groups, and protein.  The effects and benefits of Fucoidan are to support immune, cardiovascular, skin, and digestive health.

History
Fucoidan containing foods such as seaweed are known in the traditions and history of many Asian countries as a staple in their diets which accounts for the health benefits leading to longer life. It wasn’t until the past several decades that biomedical research has extensively studied the effects and benefits of Fucoidan. Several studies have established the mechanisms by which Fucoidan is utilized by the body to generate vital hormones and enzymes, and these studies have elucidated the role of fucoidan in helping to improve immune, cardiovascular, skin, and digestive health.

Is All Fucoidan the Same?
UltraFucoidan is unique and has the most advantages.  The main feature of UltraFucoidan is the higher concentration of sulfur and actual Fucoidan than most other products already on the market.  This feature results in the highest concentration of antioxidant compounds for the strongest bioactivity.  UltraFucoidan has an abundant 15% sulfur with 85% fucoidan for the most benefit.

In addition, the source of Vesta’s UltraFucoidan derives from the Laminaria and Undaria species grown in Korean ocean waters, which are considered an enriched and natural body of clean, unpolluted water.
