Brown algal extract is an advanced extract of multicellular algae. Brown algal extract (alginate, brown algal oligosaccharides, kelp starch, and brown algal gum) has been applied as a potential green feed additive in livestock and poultry production. Chemicalbook has unique biological functions such as improving growth performance, enhancing body immunity, improving intestinal environment, promoting growth and reproduction, improving animal meat quality, and improving egg and milk quality, The application effect in animal husbandry and feed is significant.
Fucoidan is an intracellular product inherent in all brown algae and present in the cell wall matrix. It is a water-soluble heteropolysaccharide. The content of fucoidan in kelp is generally between 0.3% and 1.5%. Fucoidan is a sulfated polysaccharide mainly composed of fucoidan. Its main composition is L-fucoilbookos-4-sulfate, followed by a small amount of galactose, mannose, xylose, glucose, arabinose, uronic acid, protein, K, Na, Ca, Mg and other metal ionomers. It has a variety of biological activities such as anti-tumor, anticoagulant, antithrombotic, antiviral and enhancing the immune function of the body.
Main Function
1. Inhibit the growth of tumor cells and treat cancer.
Fucoidan sulfate can kill tumor cells by activating macrophages, producing cytotoxin and inhibiting tumor cell proliferation; In addition, it can also inhibit tumor growth by inhibiting tumor angiogenesis, or directly inhibit the growth of tumor cells.
2. Treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases
Studies have shown that the occurrence of cardiovascular disease is often related to the high levels of blood lipids and cholesterol. Fucoidan sulfate can take the fat out of the chyme in vitro, which has good effect of reducing lipid and cholesterol, and has no side effects of lipid-lowering drugs.
Fucoidan sulfate can effectively reduce the systolic and diastolic blood pressure of human artery, and can mildly and effectively reduce the systolic and diastolic blood pressure of patients with hypertension. Fucoidan sulfate can be used as an adjunctive antihypertensive drug for hypertension.
3. Treatment of renal failure
Fucoidan sulfate has been successfully used in the treatment of renal failure. Fucoidan sulfate can reduce serum creatinine and improve urinary protein content, which has extremely obvious effect on renal failure and nephrotic syndrome.
