The healing power of fucoidan

Fucoidan is a compound that occurs naturally in wild grown Undaria pinnatifida seaweed (commonly known as wakame or mekabu) which grows in the pristine ocean waters of Patagonia and Tasmania.  The physiological benefits of fucoidan have now been the subject of more than 1400 published studies.

Fucoidan protects seaweed against a range of external stresses, including marine-borne pathogens and the abrasive, drying effects of the sun, wind and salt. These protective properties of fucoidan have been captured as powerful extracts that can enhance dietary supplements and topical formulations for skincare and dermatology.

rare by nature Tasmanian Wakame capsules contain 100% wild-harvested wakame from sustainable stocks off the southeast coast of Tasmania. We use the spores of the seaweed, the most nutrient rich part of the plant. This means the capsules contain 10% Fucoidan, up to ten times the amount of other wakame sources. 

rare by nature Tasmanian Wakame capsules are particularly special. Taking one wakame capsule a day delivers the amount of Fucoidan that is typically consumed in a traditional Japanese diet.
