Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide (MW: average 20,000) found mainly in various species of brown algae and brown seaweed such as mozuku, kombu, bladderwrack, wakame, and hijiki (variant forms of fucoidan have also been found in animal species, including the sea cucumber).
Fucoidins have been investigated in preclinical studies for anti-oxidant, cognitive protective, anti-inflammatory, anti-angiogenic, anti-cancer, anti-viral, and anti-hyperglycemic activity.
