FucoxanthinMarine carotenoid

Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid pigment that is naturally found in certain types of brown seaweed, as well as in some other marine organisms. It is often used as a dietary supplement and food additive, including in some protein powders, due to its potential health benefits.

In protein powders, fucoxanthin may be added as a source of antioxidants, which are compounds that help to protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Fucoxanthin has been shown to have strong antioxidant properties, which can help to support overall health and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

Additionally, fucoxanthin has been shown to have potential anti-inflammatory and anti-obesity effects. It may help to reduce inflammation in the body, which can contribute to the development of a variety of chronic diseases, and may also help to promote weight loss by increasing metabolic rate and reducing fat accumulation.

Fucoxanthin is generally considered safe when consumed in recommended amounts.
