Fucoxanthin Supplements - FucoThin Diet Pill for Weight Loss, 90 Softgels

I am not the kind to stop and write a review, but I felt this was a warranted case. Over the course of 6 years or so now I have steadily gained pounds until I fall into the "obese" category. For whatever reasons, stress, emotions...whatever, I went from a size 5 to a size 12-14. I am active, and the weight has been a problem. I had searched several alternatives in a weight loss supplement and found this item at a Whole Foods Store. I purchased my first bottle there and have been taking Fucothin for about 5 months. (For my backstory you need to know this)For Christmas of 09(more like January 10) I purchased a Wii for my mom as a gift. She uses it for the step programs and together we track our weight goals. In honestly I hadn't even gotten on it in several months(since about the time I started Fucothin), summer for me means outdoor activities. To make this long story shorter, I got on the Wii and found to my pleasant surprise that I have lost over 20 lbs over the course of these 4-5 months. Thats not alot each month but I am satisfied since that falls under healthy weight loss. My diet has always been fairly healthy except for the coffee/soda intake. I haven't had any issues with an odor in my urine, however even though I drink coffee and soda I also drink lots of water to keep myself hydrated. I am taking 8 capsules once a day, since I don't have time to space them out. I have no jitters, no digestive issues, and no other effects other than the slow steady weight loss. My physical exam this year came out clean with great results other than the weight that I am working on. I am sure everyone gets different results from this product but these are mine.

I’ve used Fucothin when it originally came out from Garden Of Life. Back around 2008 it was very costly but it seemed to help me with my weight and health. I just tried it again back in July/August while I started a diet to lose 10 lbs, lowering my carbs and gluten, and increasing my protein. Somehow it does seem to reduce my hunger and keeps me from snacking. The weight started to come off at about a pound a week. I ran out in September and I gained a little weight back. So I just bought another value size bottle and put it on auto shipping. It makes my dieting easier and more consistent. I have also recently read up on the heart and circulatory benefits of Fucoxanthin so I plan to continually use it after the diet at a maintenance level. There are so many health benefits from fucoxanthin that it would be too many to list. I consider this an exotic supplement here because it’s not in our diet on the western hemisphere but it’s in the eastern diet with the consumption of seaweed going back thousands of years.

It's an expensive product and it doesn't work, I've been taking it for 7/8 days and I haven't felt anything, if within 30 days I still don't feel anything, I'll come back here and redo my review. I hope it works at some point. Disappointed.

*update at bottom* I have been using fucothin for 6 weeks now, along with working out 6 days/wk for 1hour & 1500 calories. I started taking 1 pill at each meal & slowly worked up to 3 at each meal now. I am also taking Garden of Life's Diet360 30 minutes before meals... about 10 days into this regimen I had already dropped a couple pounds but, I noticed consistent muscle spasms/twitches in the back of my right thigh that fire off maybe twice an hour. And a few in my left arm every now & then. Not sure if it's due to spine issues (known to cause muscle spasms) or these products but thought I'd put that out there in case anyone else is experiencing the same thing. Nonetheless, it's not stopping me from taking the products. I am losing about 2-3lbs a week & I think this product is totally boosting my weight loss. I totally trust Garden of Life products & their quality & research. And i firmly believe these products boost your weight loss, which spurs you on to keep sticking it to losing weight. I plan to use these products for 6months... i will update my review if anything new or unusual happens. *UPDATE* started a new batch of fucothin & my muscle spasms are pretty non existent... so I must've had a strong batch. now, before i go to bed i can feel my muscles slightly twitching, but not firing off like the other batch. I did a little research into fucothin & discovered it creates a "shivering" effect on the muscles, which explains the twitching. Weight loss is still successful as noted before, so I won't stop taking this product.

I started taking this product after reading Jordan Ruben's latest book "Perfect Weight America", but have not had a chance to incorporate any of the other recommendations in the book and I have lost weight! I have been taking this product for about a month now, so I have seen quicker results than was suggested in the book. This has motivated me to add more of his reccomendations! I plan on adding organics to my diet next and, since my energy seems to be coming back (another added benefit from Fucoxanthin that I have noticed) I want to start working out! (Like I ever thought I would ever say that!) I would reccomend it to anyone!
