So, what food has a synergistic effect when taken together with fucoidan? In this article, I will answer the question and discuss food that has a synergetic effect with fucoidan.

I believe this topic is very interesting to discuss. It is because food is essential for every living creature. Food sustains life. Hence, I would like to reiterate that food can increase synergies with fucoidan. You can expect even better results for people who are suffering from cancer.

According to Aisa Y et al., an experiment was conducted using human malignant B lymphoma (HS-Sultan). The experiment included food and drinks such as green tea, coffee, blueberry, acai berry, raisin suspended in water to check the synergetic effect with fucoidan. Please note that the raisins were soaked in 50 degrees of hot water for nine hours before being filtered. The effect of fucoidan and each sample solution on HS-Sultan was determined by measuring the number of surviving cells after removing the cells after 72 hours of culture.

As a result, the green tea extracted especially had a strong apoptosis induction effect together with fucoidan. Ten thousand malignant cells had completely disappeared by 100 µg of green tea extract.

To the degree of food synergistic effect on the apoptosis-inducing effect of fucoidan on HS-Sultan will be 1) Green tea extract 2) Acai berry extract 3) Coffee bean extract, and others only showed slight apoptosis effect. (Am, J Hematol., 78(1): 7-14, 2005)

I would also like to share another example of fucoidan and green tea extract synergistic effects. Based on the research by Rahul Lall et al., green tea inhibited prostate cancer by modulating one or more signaling pathways inhibiting many protein kinases, and suppressing the activation of transcription factors.

Hence, if you take fucoidan with green tea, it will be more effective on prostate cancer.
