First the seaweed extract is extracted from the seaweed. Then the Fucoidan compound, one of several contituents of the seaweed is isolated from the crude extract. These are the processes by which Fucoidan is obtained and standardized. The extraction process itself varies from producer to producer, but Fucoidan Force®’ uses a gentle and proprietary cold-water extraction process that protects the fucoidan molecule to ensure maximum nutritional benefits.

Fucoidan promotes healthy immune function, cell-to-cell communication, and tissue maintenance. Additionally, there are over 1400 scientific articles and publications on the benefits of Fucoidan listed in the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed.

Fucoidan naturally occurs in many of the seafood eaten by millions of people of all ages in Japan, China, and Korea. It is used worldwide for fucoidan’s benefits. Please note, fucoidan comes from seaweed which has both iodine and sodium. People with sensitivities to either or who have a preexisting condition should consult a physician before starting any new medication or herbal supplement regimen.

Fucoidan Force contains 20mcg (micrograms) per gram of product. It uses fucoidan from the wakame seaweed (Undaria pinnatifida) and Sea Kelp (Fucus vesiculosus). There is 300mg of extract in one single capsule of Fucoidan Force® which means each capsule contains 6 mcg of iodine, less than 5% of the recommended daily allowance.

The recommended daily value for iodine is 150 mcg, though the U.S. National Academy of Sciences lists the maximum tolerable level of iodine intake as 1.1 mg (1100 mcg) of iodine per day. To surpass this amount, you would have to take over 55 capsules of Fucoidan Force® a day.Iodine is necessary for the human body to function properly. Fucoidan Force® provides a small dose of iodine on a daily basis. Always consult with your doctor before making changes to your diet, supplements, or medication.

The amount of sodium in the wakame seaweed (Undaria pinnatifida) and Sea Kelp (Fucus vesiculosus) extract used to make Fucoidan Force is approximately 3.5%. Each Fucoidan Force® capsule contains 300mg of Undaria Pinnatifida and Fucus vesiculosus extract. This means you get about 14 mg of sodium per capsule. Keeping in mind that the RDA (recommended daily allowance) of sodium is 2,400 mg, 14 mg is a mere drop in the bucket.

We don’t test for cesium-137, and we are not aware of anyone that does. We harvest our Fucoidan from the Atlantic ocean, which is clearly stated on our label. For most people, this is more than enough since no one dares put something on their label that is not true for fear of running afoul of the FDA.

Please consult with a doctor before taking it in conjunction with other medications or with other supplements. With your doctors approval, Fucoidan Force® may be taken indefinitely to help promote good health, cell-to-cell communication, and tissue maintenance, with no side effects.

Fucoidan Force® is harvested from wakame seaweed that grows in the Atlantic Ocean. As one of the only manufacturers that only harvests Atlantic-grown seaweed, Fucoidan Force® is one of the few fucoidan supplements that is 100% guaranteed free from the radiation caused by the Fukushima disaster in 2011.

Fucoidan Force® is made in the USA in a cGMPs FDA approved facility. In August 2002, the FDA created a regulatory standard for ensuring pharmaceutical quality products for human consumption known as the Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMPs). The cGMP initiative ensures appropriate design, monitoring and control of manufacturing processes and facilities. These standards are set to make sure that all products made in the facility meet strict standards set by the new FDA guidelines.

Studies have shown that Fucoidan may have blood-thinning properties which could possibly keep your blood from clotting. Always consult a doctor before making changes to your diet, supplements, and medication. People who have allergic reactions to soy or mushrooms can have allergic reactions to Fucoidan. 

Fucoidan is 100% natural and does not contain harsh chemicals that can cause complications with other chemicals. Because of the blood-thinning properties of fucoidan, you should consult with a licensed physician is always recommended when adjusting medications or supplements.

It takes about 1 kg of brown seaweed to obtain 1 gram of Fucoidan. Since the normal daily dosage of Fucoidan should be about 3 to 6 grams to maintain health and immunity, it would not be logical to eat in excess of 3kg of brown seaweed per day.

The best time to take Fucoidan Force is in the early morning, late morning, and late afternoon. It can be taken with or without food.

Since its discovery in 1913, there have been thousands of studies worldwide on the amazing effects of Fucoidan. Some of these studies can be found in the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed database online.
