What is Fucoxanthin ?
Fucoxanthin is a xanthophyll, with formula C42H58O6. Also named Laminaria Powder, it is found as an accessory pigment in the chloroplasts of brown algae and most other heterokonts, giving them a brown orgreencolor. Fucoxanthin absorbs light primarily in the part of the visible spectrum, peaking at around 525 nm by various estimates and absorbing significantly in the range of 450 to 540 nm. Some metabolic and nutritional studies carried out on rats and mice at Hokkaido University indicate that fucoxanthin promotes fat burning within fat cells in white adipose tissue by increasing the expression of hermogenin.As of 2008, no human studies on Fucoxanthin have been published, so it remains to be seen whether it is of any value in human obesity.
