FUCOXANTHINOL

Fucoxanthinol has been in a shadow of its precursor, fucoxanthin, for a very long time. Then, scientists discovered that fucoxanthin, a well-known bioactive ingredient in the area of health supplements, exhibits its health benefits under the molecular form of fucoxanthinol. In fact, ingested fucoxanthin is quickly transformed to fucoxanthinol in the small intestine before entering the blood stream. Since then, fucoxanthinol has been subject of several studies, mostly in comparison with its precursor.
