About U-Fn™ (U-Fucoidan)

U-Fn is a pure natural food product from a highly concentrated extract of Laminaria japonica, a sea vegetable known as kombu in Japanese cuisine.   This potent extract, dried and encapsulated in the USA, has proven to be one of the most powerful cancer-killers in the natural arsenal.

U-Fn contains U-Fucoidan, a polysaccharide found in kombu that has been found to cause cancer cells to self-destruct.  This occurs through a normal biological process known as apoptosis, a natural means by which living organisms eliminate harmful or no longer necessary cells from their tissues.

U-Fn works best against cancers located where the U-Fucoidan can be absorbed most readily, such as the glands (breast, prostate, lymph nodes, etc.), the gastrointestinal tract (liver, pancreas, colon, etc.), and the bloodstream.

U-Fn is not just another blend of dried ground seaweed, nor is it an isolate of fucoidan whereby its bioavailability has been compromised and its cost inflated.  When taken as a capsule with water, U-Fn delivers all of the naturally occurring vitamins and minerals of Laminaria in a soluble, bioavailable form.  It is easily digested and healthful to the “good” cells, while safely destroying the “bad” ones.

The Source of U-Fn

This very special Laminaria japonica brown seaweed is now harvested from one of the clearest ocean beds in the world in the south Pacific.  Skillful local divers harvest this kelp in an environmentally sustainable manner using sharp knives to hand-cut the selected fronds underwater.  They bring the harvested kelp to shore and hang the huge fronds on wooden racks to dry quickly in the sun.The dried kelp is then transported to a manufacturing plant in the United States where it is reconstituted by soaking in fresh water—which is retained so as not to lose any of the water-soluble polysaccharides.  Within about eight hours the fronds return to their original size and the outer skin and fibers can be removed.The soft inner part of the brown seaweed is then pressed out of the leaves and reduced to a dry powder.  A cold-temperature vacuum extraction process is used in order to retain all of the important organic elements.

Fucoidan Properties of U-Fn™

Analysis of U-Fn™ in dry powder form:

Total U-Fucoidan *35%

Fucoidan 11%

Laminaran 24%

Alginic Acid 29%

Dietary fiber 31%

Protein less than 2%*  Fucoidan and Laminaran are major elements among the many which comprise U-Fucoidan.Hydrolysis test results of the U-Fucoidan fraction (Fucoidan plus Laminaran) in U-Fn:

L-Fucose 52%

Glucose 36%

It is important to understand that U-Fucoidan is a broader-spectrum, more bioavailable form of fucoidan that exists in combination with Laminaran and other minerals.  “Straight” fucoidan cannot be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract when it is chemically extracted and introduced for consumption.
