Kangcare, a reputable supplier of high quality ingredients to the nutraceutical and dietary supplement industries from China, has launched its new product----FucoVinTM Fucoidan.
Fucoidan is a natural sulphated polysaccharide extracted from the seaweed. Our FucoVinTM is extracted from kelp (Laminaria japonica), which is a good resource of fucoidan. We select and cultivate the best kelp with high organic sulphate radical to assure the quality of the finished product, and adopt cascade filtration in the production to do the extraction and physical method to do the decoloration, as well as the strict process of removing of heavy metals. In all of these processes, no organic solvent is used and this technology helps us to keep away from the harmful residue.
The various biological functions of fucoidan from Laminaria japonica have been proved by science researches. Its properties [1-6] of anti-radiation, anti-coagulation, anti-virus, anti-cancer, anti-oxidation, beneficial-to-kidney and immune modulation distinguishes itself among the health supplements. In the on-selling health products, fucoidan usually plays its role as an immune-stimulator. Just like its function showed in the scientific study, it acts to up-regulate immune factors¡¯ level to prevent the body from being attacked by the pathogenic agent and cancer cells.
In 2003, the application of Laminaria japonica fucoidan into the medicine has been approved by the State Food and Drug Administration (SFDA) of China and this medicine (Hai Kun Shen Xi Jiao Nang) has been launched for the treatment of renal failure and uremia. It can improve the histological appearance of the sick kidney, and at the mean time, it has diuretic effect.
FucoVinTM can be used in generic food as well as health supplements. As an extract from normal food kelp, FucoVinTM is safe for long-term uptake, which has also been proven by the animal test. Because of its excellent solubility, there¡¯s no amount limitation. The form of the final product can be also diversified, just like capsule, tablet and solution.
