Fucoxanthin Supplements - FucoThin Diet Pill for Weight Loss, 90 Count | Whole Food Supplement Offering Brown Seaweed and Pomegranate Seed Oil for Weight Management, Non-Stimulant Dietary Supplement

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!

So I've taken the whole entire bottle and never increased the dosage. I take only 3 a day and that's it. Had not noticed any results until recently. And am happy with the results as, I've been working out and still remain the same weight. Now, my pants fit a bit baggy and my thighs are a bit smaller. It's not a quick fix but it does what it says so, am happy with the product.

Started taking this at the recommended dosage with meals and for the past week every time I eat I get a massive headache. I’m not diabetic, don’t have any pre existing conditions and was wondering maybe if I was getting dehydrated so I’ve been drinking a gallon of water a day. I’ve been meal prepping and the meals are consistently the same, the only variable has been this product. Today. I did not take this supplement with my meal and no headache. Won’t be buying this again, will be going in the trash.

September 13th, 2010: Fucothin arrived today in the mail. Incredibly fast shipping! Am giving 3 stars because I don't know if this supplement helps or not yet since I've only taken one capsule so far. The first impression is good and I want to share it with readers here. The capsule is small which is a relief because I dread large capsules or pills. The shape is designed for easy swallowing. Will update review when I know if Fucothin has been beneficial or not. September 22nd, 2010: Over the weekend I slipped on my jean mini skirt. Imagine my delight when it rested loosely on my hips! A few weeks ago the skirt was depressingly tight. I took a step back and looked with amazement in the mirror when I saw my legs also looked slimmer. All summer my legs were puffed up unattractively in an unnatural way. My shorter skirts simply did not look as good. My weight had not gone up and this change had me unhappily perplexed. What I think FucoThin does is flush the body of toxins it's holding onto. I have not lost any weight on the scale but certainly I feel and look slimmer which is good enough for me! The stars have been raised to 4 on this review and will give another update as I continue to take FucoThin. November 6th: There is nothing new to report about my experience with Fucothin. I will likely not repurchase it though.
