 taking for about four months now Nov 23, 2007
By M. Karapcik
"Mike"
I actually started taking this for other reasons after doing some research on PubMed. One thing I will say up front is that I'm only taking one pill in the morning, not three a day. I have not had the "seaweed-pee" effect. It has made me much more sensitive to caffeine, but I suppose it's good I'm cutting back. I did feel "off" the first couple weeks, and I occasionally crave beets (go figure), but I think there is a good reason for that.
There is something important to remember when taking this product. It triggers the metabolism of white fat cells. What many people don't realize is that the body uses fat (more so white than brown) as a sort of garbage can. Chemicals that it cannot properly metabolize, especially chemicals that are oligophillic (oil-soluble) rather than hydrophillic (water soluble, which tend to be urinated away), are simply sequestered into fat cells. It's the body's equivalent of "sweeping under the rug". So, if you have things like pesticides and such sequestered in your fat cells, and you add fucoxanthin and suddenly start metabolism in your fat, all the sequestered stuff is suddenly dumped back into your system. In the long run it's good to clean it out, but it can make you feel like crap at the beginning.
If you take this, start with just one in the morning, not the recommended three. Also, cut back a bit on caffeine. (If you're on other health supplements, taurine, guarana extract, and yerba mate extract *are* caffeine. Caffeine is a simple, flat, *non-chiral* molecule.) Drink extra clean water to help your body flush. Eat more fresh veggies to help break down extra homocystine.

 works for sure!!! Jan 11, 2008
By Bostonian
I started taking Fucothin in mid-Sept 2007 along with my low sodium meal plan & lost 18 pounds effortlessly by Halloween. Skipped it for several weeks over the holidays, and put on 8 pounds!! I just started taking it again less than 2 weeks ago with my low sodium meal plan and lost the 8 pounds - now going forward for the rest of the winter. My energy is noticeably better when taking Fucothin & I have to force myself to eat some days. Drink lots of water & the weight comes off faster. I recommend this product wholeheartedly. Just wish the price was lower, but look for free shipping & it's worth it.

It takes time but it works!! Dec 02, 2007
By N. Ricketts
Fucothin is not an instant miracle product and it's not advertised to be. Over time I have noticed a difference in how my clothes fit through the abdomen. When I stopped using Fucothin for about a month, I noticed that my clothes were getting tighter and tighter. After I resumed taking Fucothin for several weeks, then I noticed the reduction again. Deciding whether Fucothin will work for you after only a week or two is wrong. Allow four to six weeks.

Fucothin is Amazing! Sep 08, 2007
By A. Fong
I have been taking Fucothin as directed: 3 softgels a day for 6 days . My appetite has decreased, and my food cravings have decreased. I have lost 6 lbs in 6 days. I am exercising 4 times a week and that is nothing new for me. I have always exercised. My diet is pretty much the same, just smaller portions. I eat whenever I am hungry. This product is truly amazing. I have no side effects of nervousness like on some of the other products and my appetite has truly decreased and I feel great.
Garden of Life has always made good holistic supplements so when they came out with this I did not hesitate. Try it. It is definately worth every penny.

Helped me break my plateau! May 17, 2007
By M. Tumino
"Jesus Lover"
I started a diet last june (2006) lost about 20-25 pounds then hit this plateau in November (2006). I tried everything from exercising more, eating less calories, eating more calories, balancing my Omega 3's, switch my diet around, nothing seemed to work. Long story short i have been taking Fucothin for about 2 weeks (may 2007) and i have lost two pound per week!!! Of course i have been eating health and watching my portion size, but i am not counting calories and i do exercise...but i have been doing that and couldn't break it! So, truly this is a blessing i also recommend Jordan Rubin's book The Great Physician's Rx for Health and Wellness here is the link if you want to look it up.
