FücoTHIN

       FücoTHIN is a weight loss product containing an extract from brown marine seaweeds called fucoxanthin combined with pomegranate seed oil.  Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid like beta carotene and has been clinically shown to have a thermogenic effect.  Thermogenesis is a process where metabolic rate is increased in association with the burning of stored body fat, especially in the belly area.  In human clinical trial, the metabolic rate with FücoTHIN was 18.2% higher than with diet alone.  Three softgels of FücoTHIN, which is the recommended daily serving, contain 15 mg of fucoxanthin.  FücoTHIN contains a minimum 5% concentration of fucoxanthin. 

       Preliminary results from a 2007 double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of FücoTHIN involving 140 overweight female subjects showed that after 16 weeks there was a significant reduction in visceral fat and body weight.  Study participants lost an average of 14.5 pounds of body weight, 11.5 pounds more than the placebo group.  Body fat loss was 11.8 pounds in the fucoxanthin group, compared to just 2.8 pounds in the placebo group.  The research on FücoTHIN was done in conjunction with an 1800 calorie meal plan.  FücoTHIN is non stimulatory and will not cause any jitters.
