Seaweed-based supplement designed to promote optimal metabolic balance and thyroid health.
Seaweed-based supplement designed to promote optimal metabolic balance and thyroid health.
Dr. Peter D’Adamo:
“Sea vegetables, and in particular bladderwrack, have many unique characteristics and properties and are used extensively as food in coastal cuisines around the world. It’s a positive sign to see this trend building in the Western countries as well.”
The primary ingredient in Fucus Plus is bladderwrack (Fucus vesiculosis) seaweed. The unique composition of bladderwrack includes the unique monosaccharide fucose, and other long-chain sugars known as high molecular weight polysaccharides. Readers of Dr. D’Adamo’s writings will know that fucose is part of the antigen that determines blood type O and the difference between secretors and non-secretors.
Dr. Peter D’Adamo:
“All blood types have the sugar fucose as part of their distinguishing antigen. However, types A and B have other sugars as well. Only type O has fucose as the sole identifying antigen. This opens up the possibility that in this blood type fucose can provide a type of blocking protection from invaders that might try to hijack the type O immune system by attaching to its main antigen. “
The high molecular weight polysaccharides in Fucus vescuosis include fucoidin, which is known to inhibit the growth of many unfriendly bacteria, yeast, and viruses.
“Many chronic conditions are known to be the result of so-called ‘stealth infections’. These are often caused by bacteria that can evade the bodys denses by manufacturing biofilms, a type of protective slime. It is known that biofilms do no grow on seaweeds, a defense they’ve probably had to develop in order to survive the dangerous interface between land and sea.”
This plant was grown and harvested by trained marine botanists and immediately freeze-dried to preserve its molecular integrity. Fucus Plus is suitable for all blood types but may be particularly beneficial to blood type O individuals to help support a healthy digestive system. Bladderwrack may also provide specific benefits, such as helping to maintain a healthy overall body composition and supporting immune system health.
Dr. Peter D’Adamo:
“Many people are unaware of just how deeply connected the thyroid and digestive tract are — although it’s long been observed that problems in one organ often carry over to the other. Dr. D’Adamo discovered that a specific seaweed can help optimize and balance this network. “
