Seaweed Extract, Fucoidan, found to help inhibit Prostate Cancer and Female related cancers - New Re
As shown in past key articles regarding the unique seaweed extract, fucoidan, new research is further validating fucoidan's anti-cancer properties. In one study, researchers showed that Fucoidan may be a promising cancer preventative medicine due to its inhibitory effects and induction of human prostate cancer cells. They used a common cancer cell line, DU-145. Fucoidan significantly decreased viability of DU-145 cancer cells in a concentration-dependent manner as shown by

Seaweed and Chemotherapy - can it help cancer therapy?
Several recent international studies have illustrated that seaweeds and their extracts may have the capability of inhibiting and even treating cancer. Seaweed therapy may even outperform chemotherapy. The most recent study, from Brazil’s Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte, found that two fractionated polysaccharides from the seaweed species Sargassum vulgare inhibited the process of tumor angiogenesis – more specifically a tumor’s development and maintenance of blood v

Fucoidan extract enhances the anti-cancer activity of chemotherapeutic agents in breast cancer cells
New research published shows an amazing benefit from one of our unique seaweed extracts, fucoidan, found in both our Infinimin® and Infiniderm® products, which may have a complementary anti-cancer effect with traditional chemotherapy treatment. A team of researchers in Japan state, "fucoidan (from seaweeds) has the potential to improve the therapeutic efficacy of cancer treatment." The Kyushu University led research team go on to infer from the research that …fucoidan may be

Metastasis and fucoidan
Numerous research is now showing that fucoidan directly affects cancer cells, causing apoptosis (cell death) in addition to enhancing immune reactions to cancer. Fucoidan is found in seaweed at differing levels for different species of seaweed. The three most potent fucoidan containing seaweed species arelaminaria japonica, undaria pinnatifida, and fucus vesiculosous. Metastasis is the mechanism that cancers use to spread around the body. In order to metastasize, cancer cel
