FucoTHIN - Fucoxanthin Definition - Scientific Explanation
FucoTHIN is made up of Fucoxanthin and a few other ingredients.
So let's review what Fucoxanthin really is and how it helps with fat burning….
Fucoxanthin - A technical description
Fucoxanthin is structurally different from other carotenoids and has a totally different mechanism than any other fat burning ingredients.
The research suggests that fucoxanthin works directly in white fat cells, the predominant type of fat in the human abdominal region, including belly fat.
Both animal and human studies demonstrate that fucoxanthin from edible seaweed possesses strong thermogenic properties with significant implications for body weight reduction.
This beneficial thermogenic effect is related to the ability of fucoxanthin to ignite production of a specialized protein called uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1) in white fat cells.
UCP-1 targets cellular structures called mitochondria to boost the rate at which fatty acids are burned and oxidized, thus generating more heat production and resulting in significant white adipose tissue reduction.
As of today, fucoxanthin is the only natural food constituent that has been proven to produce thermogenic effect through UCP-1 upregulation in white fat cells.
