FucoTHIN Russian Study | The Fucoxanthin Breakthrough

The Fucoxanthin breakthrough

When fucoxanthin was clinically proven to actually break down belly fat, it did create one huge problem.

Fucoxanthin is found in edible seaweed.

Unfortunately in order to consume enough fucoxanthin to realize its weight loss benefit you would have to consume tons of seaweed on a daily basis.

How was this hurdle overcome?

Why by a Russian Doctor of course!

Dr. Zakir Ramazanov was a dedicated and highly talented biochemist and plant physiologist who dedicated his life to finding whole food ingredients that promoted vibrant health.

Early on in his career he began experimenting with solar bioreactors and how they affected the cultivation of certain marine vegetables and algae including spirulina and chlorella.

As his career advanced and eventually took him to the United States Dr. Ramazanov continued to develop cultivation methods that allowed for the human consumption of sea vegetables.

The first step in finding a way to cultivate and extract fucoxanthin from edible seaweed was to choose the right seaweed. Dr. Ramazanov experimented with hundreds of different seed stock before finally settling on two specific strains, Undaria (Wakame) and Laminaria (Kombu). Once selected he moved on to the next issue.

The reality is that to extract enough fucoxanthin from the seaweed you would need to grow miles and miles of seaweed just to have enough to answer the demand created by this unique product. Thankfully Dr. Ramazanov's work with photo-bioreactors provided the answer. Harnessing the power of the sun and using large cultivation tanks filled with pristine filtered deep sea water he was able to perfect a process that greatly concentrated (200 - 500 times) the amount of fucoxanthin from the seaweed.

Finally Dr. Ramazanov created a proprietary process used to extract the fucoxanthin and make it bioavailable for human consumption.

There is a sad note to the story. Dr. Ramazanov died before he could see fucoxanthin made available for mass consumption.

Fucoxanthin is his legacy and Garden of Life FucoTHIN is proud to carry it on.
