The research department at OL has developed a new formulation to support a
healthy diet and weight maintenance program. FucoGreen is a combination of
clinically studied ingredients including fucoxanthin, green tea extract and
hoodia gordonii.
Recently, researchers at Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan demonstrated
that fucoxanthin was effective in stimulating uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in
laboratory animals. The UCP1 protein (also known as thermogenin) regulates the
activity of a key gene responsible for the body’s temperature control and is
responsible for stimulating the breakdown of stored fat. In these clinical
studies on laboratory animals, fucoxanthin supplementation resulted in a 5 to 10
percent reduction in weight. It is likely that fucoxanthin increases the UCP1
protein by boosting the metabolic rate within the fat cell so that it burns more
fat. (1)
These initial studies from Japan spawned two new, double-blind, randomized,
placebo-controlled clinical trials by Russian scientists involving 150 obese
women. What the Russian scientists hypothesized was that fucoxanthin appeared to
have strong thermogenic (fat burning) properties, especially on stored fat and,
in particular, on white adipose (fat) tissue in the abdomen.
The initial findings from these studies were truly amazing. Those who
received fucoxanthin lost an average of 14.5 pounds in just sixteen weeks,
versus those who received the placebo pill, who lost only 3 pounds.
Additionally, those taking fucoxanthin also raised their metabolic rate an
average of 18.2%and had body fat losses averaging 11.8 pounds, compared to 2.8
pounds in the placebo group.
Published study results are pending.
Fucoxanthin, a carotenoid derived from brown seaweed, is the specific
carotenoid responsible for brown seaweed’s color. Carotenoids are substances
that possess antioxidant properties and protect the body from free radicals.
Fucoxanthin has consistently demonstrated in studies to be supportive in weight
loss, especially in mobilizing fat stored in the abdominal area.
Fucoxanthin also exhibits a dual function in the body, as a compound that
supports a healthy diet and weight maintenance program and as an antioxidant.
Buyer Beware! Not all fucoxanthin is the same! OL uses an HPLC method of
testing which validates our fucoxanthin to contain pure 5% fucoxanthin, with NO
contaminates.
FucoGreen is unlike any other fucoxanthin based formula in that we have
included two proven ingredients, green tea extract and hoodia gordonii, for
their synergystic effect with fucoxanthin. Hoodia gordonii has long been used by
indigenous populations of Southern Africa to suppress the appetite while on long
hunting trips in the Kalahari Desert. Green tea extract
has a long history of clinical studies supporting the positive effects on
metabolic rate and fat loss.
The combination of these ingredients makes FucoGreen the formula of choice
for all who are interested in supporting good health and weight maintenance.
