Olympian Labs: FucoGreen

The research department at OL has developed a new formulation to support a healthy diet and weight maintenance program. FucoGreen is a combination of clinically studied ingredients including fucoxanthin, green tea extract and hoodia gordonii. Recently, researchers at Hokkaido University in Sapporo, Japan suggested that fucoxanthin was effective in stimulating uncoupling protein 1 (UCP1) in laboratory animals.* The UCP1 protein (also known as thermogenin) regulates the activity of a key gene responsible for the body's temperature control and is responsible for stimulating the breakdown of stored fat. In these clinical studies on laboratory animals, fucoxanthin supplementation resulted in a 5 to 10 percent reduction in weight.* It is possible that fucoxanthin increases the UCP1 protein by boosting the metabolic rate within the fat cell so that it burns more fat.* (1)

Fucoxanthin, a carotenoid derived from brown seaweed, is the specific carotenoid responsible for brown seaweed's color. Carotenoids are substances that possess antioxidant properties and protect the body from free radicals.* Fucoxanthin is supportive in weight loss.* Fucoxanthin also exhibits a dual function in the body, as a compound that supports a healthy diet and weight maintenance program and as an antioxidant.* Buyer Beware! Not all fucoxanthin is the same! OL uses an HPLC method of testing which validates our fucoxanthin to contain pure 5% fucoxanthin, with NO contaminates.

FucoGreen has included two surmised ingredients, green tea extract and hoodia gordonii, for their synersistic effect with fucoxanthin.* Green tea extract supports the positive effects on metabolic rate and fat loss.* The combination of these ingredients makes FucoGreen the formula of choice for all who are interested in supporting good health and weight maintenance.* Choose FucoGreen for supercharged fat burning!*
