Fucoxanthin: A Natural Weight Loss Pill That Works?

Fucoxanthin is an antioxidant found naturally in edible brown seaweed such as wakame, the seaweed used in miso soup. You'd have to eat an unrealistic amount of seaweed daily to come close to levels used in research studies, so it's also available in supplement form.

Although you may not have heard of it before, fucoxanthin supplements are being explored for weight loss. What's particularly promising is that preliminary studies in animals suggest it may target abdominal fat, which is linked to heart disease and diabetes and happens to be the problem area for many people. Fucoxanthin also doesn't appear to be a stimulant like ephedra, bitter orange or caffeine. Find out more...What You Need to Know About Fucoxanthin
