Fucoxanthin is a valuable brown algae carotenoid found in limited amounts in seaweeds such as kelp.Fucoidan AF Premium contains a high-quality, water-soluble fucoxanthin ingredient developed for improved usability in liquid supplements.
Kelp belongs to the brown algae family, one of the major groups of seaweed. True kelp known as “Makobu” from Hokkaido is widely recognized in Japan as a premium seaweed raw material.
The fucoxanthin used in Fucoidan AF Premium is derived from carefully selected Hokkaido makobu kelp, known for its quality and stable composition.
Fucoxanthin is present only in small quantities in brown algae such as kelp, hijiki, and wakame. It is classified as a carotenoid pigment and has attracted growing attention in nutritional and functional food research.
Because the fucoxanthin content in brown algae is typically around 0.1% of dry weight, extraction yields are very low, making fucoxanthin a scarce and high-value raw material.
Fucoxanthin is naturally oil-soluble and does not normally dissolve in water. Fucoidan AF Premium uses a specially processed, water-soluble fucoxanthin powder developed in Japan for compatibility with liquid formulations.
This allows fucoxanthin to be included alongside fucoidan in a convenient liquid supplement format.
Recent studies have increased interest in fucoxanthin as a nutritional ingredient. It is often discussed together with fucoidan, another key compound from brown algae, and their complementary use in supplement formulations continues to be researched.
