Fucoxanthin Analysis Service

Fucoxanthin (FX) is an oxygenated carotenoid widely found in algae, marine phytoplankton, aquatic shellfish and invertebrates.

Since its discovery, fucoxanthin has received much attention and has been used in clinical trials. It has become one of the hot spots for research and development because of its antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-obesity and anti-diabetic biological activities and its good nutritional and health care values. Its effects on obesity and diabetes have been clinically proven, and it has been widely used in cosmetics and health food. Fucoxanthin can inhibit UV damage to epidermal mast cells, exert antioxidant activity, inhibit tyrosine kinase activity, and inhibit pigmentation, so it has been added to a variety of skin care products. Since fucoxanthin has a protective effect on the eyes, it is used to prevent or treat post-cataracts. Its ability to inhibit osteoclast differentiation and induce osteoclast apoptosis has led to its use in the prevention of osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis. When fucoxanthin is used in combination with adriamycin, it enhances the sensitivity of breast cancer cells to the drug and has the potential to be an adjuvant to adriamycin chemotherapy regimens in breast cancer treatment.
