Hey Everyone!

Some of the Superfoods that we have available are so potent and powerful, that it’s just absolutely mind blowing. Our Brown Seaweed Extract is one of them.

When I haven’t taken it in a while, and I start to take it again, I can feel the energetic potency of it in my brain.

Our Brown Seaweed Extract is pretty much Kelp on Steroids, and it's 100% Raw. Lastly, there is zero fiber. It is literally like the juice of kelp. You need 40 pounds of seaweed just to make 1 pound of our Brown Seaweed Extract. Since there is no fiber, if you have digestive issues digesting rough seaweed fiber, then this product can help you a lot.

In this raw foods and health foods movement, Seaweed has been touted as one of the most important foods in existence. For example, Raw Food Pioneer Dr. Ann Wigmore had everyone put seaweed in their energy soup daily. Raw food pioneer Dr. Norman Walker who lived to be 100 years old, touted seaweed endlessly in his books, and he put it on all of his salads. These two Raw Pioneers had the highest success rate among all others in helping to heal people from disease.

Now, the Japanese are amongst the longest-lived people in the world, and scientists believe that one of the main reasons is due to their consumption of seaweed. I always thought it was due to all of the minerals that they were getting from the seaweed. However, scientists mainly attribute it to the high concentrations of the long chain molecules collectively known as Fucoidans, which are within the particular species of seaweed that the Japanese consume. As you will see in all of the clinical studies below, Fucoidans are responsible for helping to heal so many different conditions.

This Fucoidan anti-aging potential emerged in several analyses of the Japanese diet, particularly among inhabitants of the island of Okinawa, long known for its high concentration of people at least a century old (centenarians). Fucoidans are found almost exclusively in certain kinds of seaweed in Japan, and scientists say that virtually no one in the West obtains enough of these critical molecules. These Fucoidan molecules play a crucial role across a broad range of physiological processes.

Now get this, our Brown Seaweed extract has more of these Fucoidans compared to any other seaweed or seaweed product available to man. Furthermore, this Brown Seaweed Extract is far more bioavailable and absorbable, because it is literally like the juice of Laminaria Kelp.

I have a copy of the Certificate of Analysis (COA) of the product. 11% of the product is literally Fucoidans. Do you realize how much Fucoidans that is? For example, an orange is known for its Vitamin C content. In 100 grams of an orange, you get only .06 grams or under 2/3 of 1% of Vitamin C. In 100 grams of Fucoidan, 11 grams or 11% of it are Fucoidans. The amount of Fucoidans in our BSE is just mind-blowing and goes way beyond any other seaweed, food, or seaweed product out there. It's literally like taking a therapeutic dose of these fucoidans, which digests in an instant.

Also on the COA it shows that 50% of the product is made up of Alginates. Within the body, Alginates are a natural absorbent of radioactive elements, heavy metals, and free radicals. It has the unique ability of binding heavy metals and radioactive elements to its own molecules. Since Alginate cannot be broken down by bile or saliva and be absorbed by the body, it is secreted from the body together with the heavy metals and radioactive substances. In addition to that, if you are or were a smoker, it will help detox you from the strontium and cadmium.

Furthermore, it tastes really good! It is such a pleasure to eat straight or even on my meals, and I get excited to eat it every single time. Plus I love the energy buzz that it gives me.

Let me give you a brief summary on how it's processed before we get into these clinical studies.

Laminaria Kelp is soaked in spring water for 4 hours where it releases its water-soluble polysaccharides. The contents are then turned into a paste and are pressed through a tight mesh net similar to cheesecloth. What comes out after the pressing is pretty much the juice of kelp, a heavy gel that is kept for processing into a dry form.

When you chew down on it, there is no rough fiber. It is like chewing down on an extremely mineral dense dried gel. There is a solidity to it, but at the same time it just melts when your teeth chew down on it. It’s like chewing on a gel, and the sensation is so satisfying to me and my jaw, lol.

Again, this is the ideal product for me and many others with sensitive digestive systems, because we can't handle the rough fiber found in regular seaweed. However, it's also the ideal product for practically everyone, because the bioavailability of this Brown Seaweed Extract goes way beyond any other seaweed or seaweed product available. This is why I say it's a major seaweed hack.

You are about to witness over 40 different clinical studies on how our Brown Seaweed Extract, which is loaded with Fucoidans, can help with so many different conditions.

What’s crazy is that you would only need 1/4 teaspoon in order to take the typical 4-6 gram serving size often used in the Japanese Diet. In fact, 1/4 teaspoon goes way beyond that 4-6 grams of seaweed used in all of these clinical studies below. This 2oz bag is so dense and concentrated, that it may last you a very long time.

Let’s now move onto these clinical studies. There are a lot of them. Therefore, I made categories of the clinical studies in bold. You can just scroll down to the ones you are interested in most.

Arthritis

We are going to start with the plethora of clinical studies on Arthritis, and then we will continue on how Brown Seaweed Extract also promotes beauty, anti-aging, and beautiful skin in a rare, unique, and amazing way. It fights Cancer, Metabolic Syndrome, Cardiovascular Disease, Diabetes, and promotes peripheral blood flow associated with Diabetes.

What’s even more crazy is that it’s so unique in the pathways that it uses in order to boost the immune system, that it works very effectively at combatting and shortening the length of time for outbreaks of many incurable viruses out there today, such as Chicken Pox, HIV, the Herpes Virus, and more. In fact, it may also prevent Herpes outbreaks, and there are 7 clinical studies alone done on the Herpes Virus in the clinical studies below.

Firstly, let's discuss how our Brown Seaweed extract has the potential to help with Arthritis, including Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis. There are many different kinds of arthritis, with a variety of causes. Their unifying characteristic is painful joint swelling with inflammation and increased production of pro-inflammatory cytokines (cell-signaling molecules).

At the human clinical study here, the Fucoidans from Brown Seaweed when taken orally over twelve weeks decreased the symptoms of osteoarthritis in a dose-dependent manner.

In addition to that clinical study, the studies here, and here state, Fucoidan treatment reduces cytokine production and infiltration of white blood cells in experimental arthritis, thereby reducing overall severity.

On top of all that, the Fucoidans also reduce pain perception in Osteoarthritis as seen at the clinical study here. At the study here, selectin inhibition by fucoidans also reduces the severity of early bacterially induced arthritis.

It just keeps on going! A 2020 research review at the link here, highlighted positive outcomes in the use of kelp containing it in mice with Rheumatoid Arthritis. It reduced destruction of cartilage, bone, and the infiltration of inflammatory cells in tissue.

Another 2017 study at the link here, found that fucoidans can reduce oxidative stress, swelling, and inflammation from arthritis. Lastly, a 2022 study at the link here, found that Fucoidans had a positive effect on synovial fibrosis. This leads to joint pain and stiffness in many health conditions. The study concluded that its evidence and previous studies supported the use of Fucoidan for conditions that affect the joints.

This next study has to do with Cancer and is really profound. However, it’s mainly geared to drastically improving inflammation and a persons quality of life, so I thought that it would go well with the Arthritis clinical studies. At the 2017 study here, fucoidan reduced inflammation and improved the quality of life in people with advanced cancer. Twenty participants received 400 milliliters of the substance each day for 4 weeks. After this period, the participants had lower inflammation scores.

Together all of these properties make Fucoidans tremendously promising in the management of painful arthritis.

Beauty Skin Regeneration

These studies in regard to our skin and beauty are pretty profound. As seen in the clinical study here, Fucoidans are critical in modulating growth factors required for healing and tissue regeneration of the skin. In this clinical study it states that the structural and anionic characteristics of fucoidan are similar to those of the medication heparin. Heparin stimulates production of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF), which has key roles in tissue regeneration.

Not only do Fucoidan's modulate growth factors required for healing and tissue regeneration of the skin, but at the same time it blocks factors associated with visible aging of the skin as seen at the clinical study here. The study states that Fucoidan treatment increased type I procollagen mRNA and protein expression, and Fucoidan inhibits Ultraviolet B induced MMP-1 expression at the protein and mRNA levels in human skin fibroblasts. The study concluded that Fucoidan may be a potential therapeutic agent to prevent and treat skin photoaging, which is the sun prematurely aging the skin.

So to translate this into layman terms, the Fucoidans in our BSE has the potential to block damage from Ultraviolet Radiation from the sun, increase Procollagen, which is a major precursor to collagen, and these Fucoidans are critical in modulating the growth factors for healing and tissue regeneration of the skin. I can see why the Japanese had such great skin and kept young!

Scientists say that this skin healing is largely due to Fucoidans unique immune modulating capabilities, where they simultaneously down-regulate inflammation as seen in the study here, while at the same time boosting appropriate recognition and destruction of invaders, as seen at the clinical study here. So Fucoidans stimulate unique beneficial immune responses while suppressing those that could lead to tissue damage at the same time.

Incurable Viruses - Herpes, HIV, and More

In fact, in this last study above, it states that Fucoidans can inhibit the replication of herpes simplex virus and other viruses, and they are able to block HIV replication in cell culture at specific concentrations. This brings us to its anti-viral capabilities.

In early stage experimental cell studies, Fucoidans demonstrated potential for preventing infection with numerous malicious microorganisms, including the malaria parasite and the herpes viruses. In the laboratory studies here and here, Fucoidans block cell surface receptors those invaders need in order to attach themselves and enter human cells, preventing infection such as Herpes from taking hold. Viruses in particular can attach to a cell membrane receptor and then enter the cell interior, where their genetic material replicates and produces destructive effects on host cells.

At the study here, Fucoidan extract has been shown to inhibit replication of herpes by stimulating ingestion of the virus by macrophage cells and boosting numbers of antibody-producing B cells. At the study here, Fucoidans suppressed the attachment of Cryptosporidium parvum oocysts, which is a water-borne opportunistic infection that affects patients with HIV/AIDS. All of these experiments show great promise for future applications of Fucoidans in protecting against various pathogens.

Here is the big doozy on Herpes, Chicken Pox, Shingles, etc in a human study. At the study here, oral Undaria Fucoidan was administered to 15 individuals of various ages (from under age 10 to age 72) suffering from herpetic infections including herpes type 1 (cold sores), herpes type 2 (genital herpes), herpes zoster (chicken pox; shingles), and Epstein-Barr virus (mononucleosis). The Undaria Fucoidan dosage approximated typical daily seaweed intake in Japan. Undaria Fucoidan increased the healing rates of active herpes virus infections in all 15 subjects. Individuals with chicken pox and shingles noted reduced pain and more rapid resolution of skin lesions. In the laboratory, scientists found that the Undaria Fucoidan extract increased the growth of infection-fighting T-cells in cell culture. The scientists postulated that Undaria Fucoidan’s ability to increase T-cell growth in the laboratory may be related to its ability to enhance immunity in human subjects.

Again, it just keeps on going. At the studies here and here, the same fucoidan preparation revealed potent antiviral activities against human herpes virus types 1 and 2, and against cytomegalovirus, a common infection in individuals with compromised immune systems. Lastly, at the animal studies here and here, it reveals that Fucoidans prevent virus binding with host cells and inhibit viral replication, while simultaneously stimulating host-defensive immune responses.

Cancer

Not only does immune stimulation by Fucoidans enhance activity of both the cellular and the antibody-based components boosting protection against bacteria and viruses, but also against many nascent (newly coming into existence) cancers as seen in all the studies here, here, here, and here.

In the animal models here and here, Fucoidans enhanced survival and inhibited tumor growth in experimentally induced cancer, the result of enhanced activity of cancer-destroying natural killer cells.

Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes

Let's now dive into how it is extremely beneficial for Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease, and then we will conclude this Newsletter.

Incidence of metabolic syndrome, which is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes, is on the rise around the world, though its prevalence lags behind in some Asian countries that consume a traditional diet rich in seaweed. As seen in the clinical study here, this phenomenon has recently been attributed in part to the high dietary intake of Undaria, which is loaded with Fucoidans, and other brown seaweeds.

As seen in the clinical studies here, here, here, and here, Metabolic syndrome, which is triggered by, and also a cause of accumulated Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs), is associated with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular disease risk.

In the study here, Fucoidans can inhibit binding of AGEs to the cellular receptors that trigger many of their damaging effects, and at the clinical study here, Fucoidans hold tremendous promise in disrupting the processes that lead to metabolic syndrome and its cardiovascular consequences. In fact, women in that clinical study lost a good 3-4 centimeters off their waistline.

They say that eating protein with sugar is one of the causes of AGE’s. Our Brown Seaweed Extract can help with that.

Now that last clinical study is pretty big and probably why, at the clinical study here, Undaria, which is loaded with Fucoidans exerts anti-diabetic effects by stabilizing and slowing the digestion of white bread starch from processed carbohydrates, which may reduce the likelihood of dangerous postprandial glucose and insulin spikes.

On occasion a person will come to me for help with Peripheral Neuropathy, which is generally caused by Diabetes. This is when you start to go numb in your toes, and then it gets worse as time passes. You then start to go numb in your feet, and then your legs, and so on. I have never had a recommendation for Peripheral Neuropathy until now. At the clinical study here, it states that, Diabetic patients also suffer from diminished peripheral blood flow, leading to skin ulceration and poor wound healing. In one compelling study, researchers discovered that Fucoidan supplementation could restore normal control of capillary blood flow in diabetic animals.

At the clinical study here, Fucoidans also defuses cardiac risk factors by stimulating enzymes that break down fats in the liver and lower triglyceride levels. As you can see at the study here, Undaria operates synergistically with fish oils to protect cardiovascular health. Cardiovascular disease risk is directly related to blood pressure. In a landmark 2009 study here, consumption of dried Undaria at 4-6 grams per day (typical for the Japanese diet) significantly reduced systolic blood pressure in all patients. Individuals who consumed 4 grams of Undaria daily for 1 month, followed by 6 grams of Undaria for an additional month, saw their systolic blood pressure decrease by 10.5 mmHg. This effect occurred primarily in those who had high-normal baseline blood pressure levels.

I think you can now see why I made the rare classification of making Brown Seaweed Extract (BSE) a Longevity Superfood.

1/4 teaspoon is literally the dosage that you need in order to get the amount of seaweed as seen in all of these clinical studies above. 1/4 teaspoon is actually more than the dosage in these studies. If you were to take 1/4 teaspoon twice a day, you are going way beyond that. Furthermore, it’s way more bioavailable as it is like the Juice of Kelp.

It’s so easy to take guys. You can just sprinkle it on your fish, salad, or whatever food that you are eating. It’s like sprinkling seaweed onto your food.

We have an absolutely incredible deal on our Brown Seaweed Extract today. Our regular retail price is $39.95. However, our 'At-Cost' price through the end of the month is only $25.17 when you get a 3-pack.
