There are 40 grams (2X MORE FUCOIDAN than the next leading equivalent fucoidan brand) of PURE Full-Spectrum Organic Fucoidan in each bottle complete with their chemical structural composition (mannose, xylose, galactose, monosaccharides, L-fucose, uronic acid, protein, minerals, pigments, and sulfated ester groups) intact.Each bottle contains 160 capsules each containing 333.5 mg of brown seaweed extract standardised to 75% fucoidan by HPLC.

The calculation is as follows: (333.5 mg X .75) = 250mg. ( 250mg X 160) = 40,000 mg (40 grams) of PURE full-spectrum organic fucoidan in each bottle of Fucoidan Phoenix.There are 64 grams (4X MORE MUSHROOM than the next leading equivalent fucoidan brand) of three different species of PURE Organic, DNA-Verified, Full-Spectrum Mushroom (AGARICUS BLAZEI, TURKEY TAIL & LION’S MANE) in each bottle, complete with mycelium, primordia, fruiting bodies, extracellular compounds, polysaccharides, beta glucans and alpha glucans, intact.

Absolutely not. Also, with all the disturbing news regarding the Fukushima radiation fallout in the Sea of Japan, we prefer to err on the side of caution. That is why our fucoidan is extracted from seaweeds harvested from the deep, pristine waters of the Atlantic, an entire ocean and continent away from any possible radiation fallout contamination.Likewise, we do believe in playing the high-priced-high-value-perception marketing game because Fucoidan Phoenix’s mission is to help people be healthy.By dramatically lowering the cost per gram, while doubling the amount of fucoidan, and quadrupling the amount of mushroom of the top-leading fucoidan brand, in Fucoidan Phoenix we have created the most potent, well-balanced, and affordable fucoidan supplement in the world.

This phrase gets tossed around a lot. As always the devil is in the details. Purity merely means the degree to which the seaweed extract has been purified, concentrated, and standardised. In truth, anything higher than 50% is considered “High-Purity”. That is why chasing after or putting stock in this phrase alone is a fool’s errand.
As explained before, to get the best bang for the buck, there is ONLY one thing you need to know. How much and at what cost you’re getting each gram of “PURE FUCOIDAN” you buy?To know this, you will need two essential pieces of information. 1) The amount of seaweed extract. 2) The % to which it is standardised.
Both of which must be in the Supplement Facts box where the facts belong. Without these two critical bits of information, you will continue to remain in the dark.

We avoid AHCC because based on the hundreds of studies conducted on our mushroom species, we believe nothing beats our DNA-verified, organic, full-spectrum, Tri-Mushroom Complex. Besides, WebMD states, “AHCC might make autoimmune diseases worse.” WebMD also goes on to say, “Tell people with autoimmune diseases such as multiple sclerosis, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), or others to avoid or use AHCC cautiously.”Also, for anyone still wanting to use AHCC it is much more cost-effective to purchase AHCC from places like iHerb, or Now, Vitamin Shoppe, etc. for anywhere from $35-$59 per bottle.

We believe in the health and wellness mantra that says let your food be your medicine, the approach that involves the use of proven traditional herbs and ingredients that leave nothing behind.
That is why we always use full-spectrum ingredients that ensure the chemical constituents remain unaltered as in their original natural state.

 We exclude the use of Japanese fucoidan for fear of possible contamination from the Fukushima radiation fallout. We also avoid the use of any Chinese ingredients due to ongoing reports of subpar and contaminated Chinese ingredients.

Our fucoidan is obtained using a superior proprietary water-extraction method that maintains the bioactive properties as found in their original natural state that also guarantees maximum potency every time. This water-based process creates a high-purity, organic fucoidan extract that is free of heavy metals or radiation.

A seaweed extract is just that – an extract. Pure Fucoidan is a seaweed extract that has been purified, concentrated, and standardised to a certain % of Fucoidan. Don’t be fooled because without this last piece of information you NEVER really know how much Pure Fucoidan you’re getting.For example, if you told you’re getting 25 g of Fucoidan standardised to 85% Fucoidan, in reality, you’re getting 85% of 25 g. (25 X .85) = 21.25 g of Pure Fucoidan. Nearly 4 grams less.Finally, if for any reason the standardised percentage is omitted from the Supplement Facts box itself, the actual amount of Fucoidan you’re getting could be far worse than imagined.

We used acid-resistant capsules even though they cost a lot more than conventional capsules because as the innovators in the space we are always pushing the status quo, looking for ways to provide better quality, value, and outcomes.Fucoidans, like most polymers, are polydisperse. This means that the polysaccharides are a mixture of molecular weights. Furthermore, studies show that despite all the benefits fucoidans can offer; there are also challenges regarding their delivery and absorption into the body. A large part of the problem is that high molecular weight polysaccharides are not considered to be absorbed orally along with the possibility that acidic conditions in the stomach could degrade fucoidan.With this in mind, for optimal usage and absorption, we decided to pay the extra cost for acid-resistant capsules to help keep fucoidan’s chemical structure intact on its way to the GI tract where studies show it gets absorbed into the bloodstream, regardless of molecular weight.

Fucoidan Phoenix uses two different types of seaweeds to make its fucoidan. Wild Hand-Harvested Atlantic Wakame (Undaria pinnatifida) and Wild Hand-Harvested Atlantic Sea Kelp (Fucus vesiculosus) [standardized to 75% Organic Fucoidan by HPLC].

While there is no single accepted chemical analysis standard by regulatory agencies, fucoidan itself is well described in the scientific literature. Simply put, fucoidans are fucose-containing sulfated polysaccharides (FCSPs).
There are at least two distinct forms of fucoidan, both forms of which are used to make Fucoidan Phoenix: F-fucoidan, which is >95% composed of sulfated esters of fucose, and U-fucoidan, which is approximately 20% glucuronic acid.
As for measuring or quantifying fucoidan, there are at least two available methods, HPLC (High-Performance Liquid Chromatography) and GC-MS (Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry). Both are well-known analytical methods that are already being used to identify and quantify Fucoidan.

Fucoidan Phoenix uses three different types of DNA-verified medicinal mushrooms (Agaricus blazei, Lion’s Mane, and Turkey Tail) because they not only triple the power, each has its own positive, unique impact on immunity and health. Each is also composed entirely of beneficial constituents derived from the mycelium, primordia, fruiting bodies and extracellular compounds, providing polysaccharides, 1,3-1,6 beta, and alpha glucans, triterpenes, antioxidants, etc.Additionally, the processes used to grow, prepare and produce our mushrooms guarantee the maximum identical potency is always present as found in the original whole-plant used every time. These processes do not sacrifice or remove anything – giving them the unique ability to address a multiplicity of problems simultaneously.

The short answer is that we believe real fucoidan is too precious to fool with. The long answer is we decided to go the route that gives you the best bang for the buck only, which does not include a drink type fucoidan supplement.Instead of creating a drink type supplement from which only small amounts of fucoidan may or may not absorb into the body, we encapsulate our fucoidan in acid-resistant veggie capsules to help protect and ensure delivery of fucoidan to small intestines where studies show it absorbs into the body regardless of molecular weight.
