A recent study administered by the Graduate School of bio-resource and Bioenvironmental Sciences at Kyushu University in Fukuoka, Japan determined that among the healthy benefits of brown seaweed, fucoidan extract (FE) also drastically improves the therapeutic efficacy and safety of disease treatments. While the study began to investigate the anti-tumor properties of FE in human cancer cells and further examine its functionality, the results were overwhelmingly optimistic that fucoidan has a positive effect on the entire human body.
