Super Ocean Nutrients Like Fucoidan Gaining Recognition Over Superfruits

LAKE MARY, Fla., Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Health benefits from marine plants and other ocean life have been documented and promoted throughout the nutritional industry for years.  Like most industries, trends emerge and botanicals or superfruits garnered huge market penetration for a few years, but now consumers are turning back to extensively studied natural products including marine bioactives, like Fucoidan and Fish Oil.  A polysaccharide found in brown algae, Fucoidan has been studied for its affects on cell regeneration, cholesterol maintenance, immune system support and weight management, among others.

With 857 studies on PUBMED.gov and growing, marine bioactives like Fucoidan continue to generate interest.  Scientists at the University of Central Florida are teaming with the Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute to study additional marine life.  Even Big Pharma is looking to the ocean.  With Glaxo Smith Kline's recently launched Lovaza®, touting its medication where 'nature meets science,' the company has made news with crossover inclusion of a traditionally used natural ingredient, Fish Oil.  News outlets and blogs have noticed the focus Big Pharma is taking for new medications as consumers look for more natural-based options.  

Natural products companies continue to reveal the research and promote many of these efficacious ocean nutrients.  LIMU, based in Florida, markets the complete nutrition of Fucoidan's health benefits in several product lines.  Before launching in 2004, the company developed a proprietary extract with scientists familiar with the brown seaweed, limu moui, where Fucoidan is in high concentration, along with 77 additional nutritional elements.  Increasing market penetration of healthy alternatives continues throughout the nutritional industry, and Fucoidan offers consumers another ingredient source from the sea.
