Fucoidan – Dr. Tachikawa & Cancer
Fucoidan is a recent discovery that has seized the attention of the medical community. Fucoidan is found in marine brown seaweed such as mozuku, mekabu, kombu. The “slimy” constituent of seaweed is a rich source of fucoidan, which is a general term referring to a group of polysaccharides containing sulfated fucose.
The cancer-fighting actions of fucoidan include: immune activation; anti-tumor action; antioxidative action; which suppresses the attack of active oxygen; suppression of new blood vessels from being created, thus cutting off the supply of nutrients to cancer cells; and apoptosis induction in cancer cells. It is believed that fucoidan provides all these actions, and that they work together to eradicate cancer cells;hence the amazing power of fucoidan.
