What is fucoxanthin used for?

  1. Good antioxidant capacity. Moreover, FX also has anti-inflammatory, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic and other biological activities.
  2. Anti-obesity potential.
    FX has an inhibitory effect on lipid accumulation. Fucoxanthin can inhibit the intercellular lipid accumulation of 3T3-L1 cells during adipocyte differentiation. And it can reduce the activity of 3-phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase, an indicator of adipocyte differentiation.
  3. Fucoxanthin may improve changes in lipid metabolism and insulin resistance. Fucoxanthin can activate the gene expression of UCP1, thereby regulating fat differentiation and promoting fat decomposition.
  4. In addition, it also has the effect of protecting eyes, liver, and bones.
