The anti-cancer properties of Fucoidan.

A natural substance of brown seaweed, Fucoidan kills cancer cells and also protects against toxicity from chemotherapeutic agents and radiation.

• Fucoidan supplementation increases cancer cell death
  
• alters tumor microenvironment
• suppresses angiogenic activity
• reduces interleukin-1β (IL-1β), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α)
• reduces ammonia 🛈
• inhibits HIF1a
• ferroptosis {ref}
• stimulates innate immune system {ref}

CAUTION: if you are already on anticoagulant drugs be aware Fucoidan has anticoagulant properties
