What is fucoidan?
Fucoidan is a unique sulfated polysaccharide found in the cell walls and secreted mucus of brown algae (such as kelp, wakame, and mozuku). It plays a crucial role in maintaining the moisture balance of algae and protecting them from extreme environmental stresses such as intense light. This marine-derived active substance, with its excellent antioxidant properties and diverse biological activities, has shown vast potential in the fields of medicine, food, and industry. Current research focuses on key scientific issues such as optimizing extraction processes, preparing low molecular weight fucoidan, and analyzing the structure-activity relationships. Its complex molecular weight distribution and structural characteristics (such as the positioning of sulfate groups and the branching degree of sugar chains) and their correlation with specific bioactivities still require further exploration. Breakthroughs in these fundamental studies will provide important theoretical support for the precise application of fucoidan. With advancements in extraction technologies and structural modification methods, the application potential of this marine bioactive polysaccharide in functional food development and innovative drug research is continuously being unlocked.
What are the benefits?
Gastroprotective Effects
Anti-Helicobacter pylori: Inhibits the proliferation of H. pylori and its adhesion to the gastric mucosa, aiding in the elimination of infection.
Mucosal Repair: Improves gastric ulcers and relieves gastric mucosal damage and symptoms of chronic gastritis.
Antioxidant Activity
Free Radical Scavenging:
● Five types of sulfated polysaccharides can scavenge hydroxyl radicals.
● Six types can scavenge peroxyl radicals.
Metal Ion Chelation: Exhibits ferrous ion (Fe²⁺) chelating ability, reducing oxidative damage.
Immune Regulation
● Anti-inflammatory: Alleviates inflammatory responses.
● Immune Enhancement: Regulates immune cell activity and boosts disease resistance.
● Anti-complement Activity: Reduces tissue damage caused by excessive immune responses.
Other Health Benefits
● Digestive System: Stimulates appetite, strengthens the spleen and liver, and improves digestion.
● Nervous System: Calms the heart and mind, relieving insomnia, forgetfulness, and fatigue.
Skin Health:
● Promotes microcirculation, leaving the skin smooth and delicate.
● Provides anti-aging benefits, promotes skin regeneration, and helps maintain skin hydration.
Application direction
Fucoidan is widely used in cosmetics, health care products, and beverage fields
By what mechanisms does fucoidan fight against Helicobacter pylori?
1. Break the protective layer of ammonia cloud
Helicobacter pylori secretes urease and forms an "ammonia cloud" as a golden bell to protect itself. Fucoidan can inhibit the production of urease, eliminate the influence of urease, and remove the influence of ammonia cloud
2. Targeted elimination of Helicobacter pylori
It can specifically adhere to the fucoidan-binding protein on Helicobacter pylori, thereby targeting the elimination of Helicobacter pylori.
3. Inhibit Hp fixation and adhesion
Able to bind to Helicobacter pylori and prevent it from adhering to gastric epithelial cells
4. Activate the immune system
Can improve body immunity
