Fucoidan is a polysaccharide that combines fucose and galactose with other essential sugar constituents and sulfate groups.
It is a precious substance containing about 0.3% of brown algae such as seaweed and mozuku.
Fucoidan was first discovered by Professor D. Kylin of Uppsala University in Sweden in 1913, and through full-scale research in Russia in 1991, fucoidan became known as a food for the treatment or prevention of various diseases. The apoptosis-inducing action of fucoidan was presented at the 55th Japanese Cancer Society in 1996 and began to attract worldwide attention.

As of 2022, a search for fucoidan on Pubmed.Gov, the official medical research database of the U.S. National Library of Medicine, lists approximately 2,500 papers.

It is a food material that can create new value in the food industry.
Fucoidan is used in foods such as beverages, powders, capsules, and tablets, and is a raw material with unlimited potential for use in various fields such as cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
