Maritech® Undaria pinnatifida extract
HIGH-PURITY FUCOIDAN EXTRACT
Maritech® Undaria pinnatifida extract is a highly characterised, certified organic fucoidan ingredient sourced from wild Undaria pinnatifida seaweed. This seaweed (commonly known as wakame or mekabu) grows in the pristine ocean waters of Patagonia, Argentina, where it is hand-harvested on an environmentally sustainable basis.
Fucoidans are compounds that vary in structure and bioactivity. Undaria pinnatifida yields a fucoidan extract which is acetylated and rich in galactose. A typical section of a fucoidan molecule is pictured on the left or above. Extensive research on Maritech® Undaria pinnatifida fucoidan has shown the compound exhibits a wide range of biological properties, including beneficial effects in the areas of immune function, gut & digestive health and healthy ageing.
Extensively tested, this ingredient is a unique and superior choice for a wide variety of dietary supplement and nutraceutical formulations.
