What does Fucoxanthin do for weight loss? This is an antioxidant that is found in edible brown seaweed that is often referred to as wakame. This has not had the research done that most of the antioxidants have had, but there is evidence that it can help abdominal fat.

Abdominal fat has been linked to heart disease and diabetes; it is also some of the hardest weight to loose, causing many people difficulties when they do decide to diet. This is also not in the same class of weight loss substances like ephedra, bitter orange or caffeine, as it does not have the stimulant effect of the others.

It is also possible to find fucoxanthin in smaller amounts in red seaweed, which is often used in Japanese sushi rolls. This can be found at health food stores in supplements and at specialty stores in the raw form used for cooking.
