Our Organic wakame is hand-collected by divers and gently laid out under the sun to dry. Our patented cold-water extraction process protects the fucoidan molecule while eliminating impurities, fibers, and particles. This process ensures the highest amount of standardized fucoidan available today. Standardization determines the exact concentration of a substance from its crude material so you always know exactly how much Fucoidan you are getting in every pill, every time. Once it has been determined to meet our rigid quality standards, the fucoidan is carefully encapsulated in 100% plant-based vegetarian capsules, which contain no animal products or byproducts. The end result is we have the best fucoidan supplement available. Some may wonder why taking a fucoidan supplement is preferable to simply eating seaweed. While seaweed obviously has a high amount of native fucoidan, consuming the same amount of fucoidan available in our extract would require you to consume about 10 pounds of seaweed! In addition to being uncomfortable (and probably unpleasant for many), that amount of seaweed consumed in such a short period of time could cause an overdose of sodium and iodine. Not all Fucoidan are Created Equally Fucoidan (Undaria Pinnatifida) in its Natural Habitat Wakame (Undaria pinnatifida) in its Natural Habitat. Both before and after harvesting there are many other factors that can positively or negatively impact the fucoidan you buy. No Chinese or Japanese Fucoidan – USDA Certified Organic Fucoidan Only
