Exciting research and a human clinical trial yielded results indicating that fucoTHIN(TM) supports the breakdown of fat in white adipose tissue, or visceral fat cells, which accumulate in the liver and around the stomach and organs. The findings are important because studies have shown almost 46 percent of adult Americans have an excess of visceral fat, which has been identified as a leading risk factor for a variety of serious health issues.
Researchers also confirmed that fucoTHIN(TM) naturally promotes thermogenesis, the process by which the body increases its metabolic rate and requires the utilization of internal stores of energy such as fat. fucoTHIN(TM)’s proprietary formula was researched and developed by for more than seven years by leading scientists.
“FucoTHIN(TM) contains the first marine vegetable derived ingredient with a clinically researched thermogenic effect,” said Jordan Rubin, founder of Garden of Life. “Our mission at Garden of Life is empowering extraordinary health, and we believe that includes helping people maintain a healthy weight. Combined with a healthy diet and exercise program, fucoTHIN(TM) can be an important part of a healthy weight management plan.”
A clinical trial pending publication in the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences showed fucoTHIN(TM) to have promising results for fat loss among humans. The double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 140 obese females showed statistically significant reduction in body fat and body weight and metabolism increased 18 percent compared to placebo after 16 weeks.
“We are pleased to offer fucoTHIN(TM) in response to our loyal customers who were looking for a healthy, non-stimulant, whole food-based supplement to help them reach their target weight,” said Rubin. “This is a natural extension of our whole food based product line, which also includes Perfect Meal, Super Seed and several other foods and supplements that can assist with weight management efforts.”
FucoTHIN(TM) contains a proprietary blend of fucoxanthin, a carotenoid found in brown seaweed, and pomegranate seed oil, a powerful antioxidant that works synergistically with fucoxanthin to promote thermogenesis and provide cellular protection.
Pricing & Availability
FucoTHIN(TM) has a suggested retail price of $39.95 for a 30-day supply (90 soft gelcaps) and is available at fine independent health food stores and retail chains such as Whole Foods and Vitamin Shoppe.
