Fucoidan promotes cell apoptosis and cancer apoptosis by assisting in inducing the elimination of harmful cells
Fucoidan may also prove helpful in eliminating harmful cells. This is accomplished through a process called apoptosis. Apoptosis is the technical term for the programmed process of a cell “bursting” and therefore dying. Sulphated polysaccharides like fucoidan have been shown to assist in inducing appropriate programmed apoptosis, which is a natural process where living organisms eliminate harmful cells and render the genetic blueprint (DNA) of harmful cells useless.
Cell apoptosis and cancer apoptosis is a critical function of the immune system and fucoidan, by promoting apoptosis enables people to fend off viruses and diseases, from the common cold, to the flu, and even various forms of cancer; including such cancer as stomach, prostate, leukemia and colon cancer among other forms of this horrific disease and fucoidan does this naturally without side effects. Fucoidan also helps to maintain normal cholesterol levels in addition to other significant health benefits.
