Consider these facts: Consider these facts:

66% of all American adults are or overweight.
Health care costs associated with being overweight exceed $90 billion a year.
59% of Americans do not exercise at all.
Only 9% of Americans eat the recommended 5 - 9 servings of fruits and vegetables a day.
In 1970 the average person consumed only 2 calories a day from high fructose corn syrup. In 2005 that number was 200 calories a day.

There is no question that weight problems are running rampant. The facts stated above make it clear that we are losing the "Battle of the Bulge" and it is no surprise why. We eat more. We eat more of the foods that are nutritionally horrible. And we don't exercise enough. Worse, as we get older, our metabolism has a natural tendency to slow down, and the battle we face can seem impossible to win.

It is not. There is a better way...

An Effective and Clinically Proven Weight Management Tool

First things first. There is absolutely no substitute for a good diet and exercise when it comes to controlling your weight. If you are looking for a "magic pill" that melts away fat while you lounge on the couch eating greasy fries, you will NEVER find it because it does not exist.

What you can find is this. A clinically proven fat burner made from all-natural ingredients that are effective.† When combined with a sensible diet and moderate exercise the results from using this product are nothing short of amazing.

What makes fucoTHIN different? Consider this:

Clinical Research - The main ingredient in fucoTHIN, fucoxanthin, has been clinically studied for safety and effectiveness (see sidebar to the right).
Non-Stimulant - Unlike so many dangerous fat burners, fucoTHIN is proven to boost metabolism without stimulating the central nervous system. Stimulating the central nervous system can be annoying (causing jitters or sleeplessness) or as ephedra has proven, deadly.
Made from an ingredient found in the daily Asian diet and consumed safely for centuries that may just be their secret to weight control and good health.
Targets Belly Fat - fucoTHIN has been clinically proven to specifically metabolize white adipose tissue, more commonly referred to as belly fat.

That alone is enough to make fucoTHIN completely unique among fat burners. But there is more.

Fucoxanthin - A technical description

Fucoxanthin is structurally different from other carotenoids and has a totally different mechanism than any other fat burning ingredients. The research suggests that fucoxanthin works directly in white fat cells, the predominant type of fat in the human abdominal region, including belly fat.† Both animal and human studies demonstrate that fucoxanthin from edible seaweed possesses strong thermogenic properties with significant implications for body weight reduction.† This beneficial thermogenic effect is related to the ability of fucoxanthin to ignite production of a specialized protein called uncoupling protein-1 (UCP-1) in white fat cells.

UCP-1 targets cellular structures called mitochondria to boost the rate at which fatty acids are burned and oxidized, thus generating more heat production and resulting in significant white adipose tissue reduction.† As of today, fucoxanthin is the only natural food constituent that has been proven to produce thermogenic effect through UCP-1 upregulation in white fat cells.†

Human Clinical Studies

In two separate clinical trials a total of 110 overweight female subjects were put into a double-blind placebo controlled clinical trial of fucoTHIN, the Garden of Life product that contains the concentrated Fucoxanthin developed by Dr. Ramazanov. Participants were put on an 1800 calorie diet and monitored over the next 16 weeks.
The results? In just 16 weeks, the group that used
fucoTHIN lost an average of 14.5 pounds. The placebo group lost an average of 3 pounds. Simply put the fucoTHIN group lost 450% more weight than the group that did NOT use fucoTHIN!
Additionally in the clinical trial fucoTHIN was proven to raise the metabolic rate 18.2% without stimulating the central nervous system and without negative side effects.
Targets Belly Fat† - fucoTHIN has been clinically proven to specifically metabolize white adipose tissue, more commonly referred to as belly fat.†
In short: 450% increase in weight loss. An 18.2% increase in metabolic rate. All without losing sleep, or getting the jitters.

The Fucoxanthin breakthrough

When fucoxanthin was clinically proven to actually break down belly fat†, it did create one huge problem. Fucoxanthin is found in edible seaweed. Unfortunately in order to consume enough fucoxanthin to realize its weight loss benefit you would have to consume tons of seaweed on a daily basis. How was this hurdle overcome? Why by a Russian Doctor of course!

Dr. Zakir Ramazanov was a dedicated and highly talented biochemist and plant physiologist who dedicated his life to finding whole food ingredients that promoted vibrant health. Early on in his career he began experimenting with solar bioreactors and how they affected the cultivation of certain marine vegetables and algae including spirulina and chlorella. As his career advanced and eventually took him to the United States Dr. Ramazanov continued to develop cultivation methods that allowed for the human consumption of sea vegetables.

The first step in finding a way to cultivate and extract fucoxanthin from edible seaweed was to choose the right seaweed. Dr. Ramazanov experimented with hundreds of different seed stock before finally settling on two specific strains, Undaria (Wakame) and Laminaria (Kombu). Once selected he moved on to the next issue.

The reality is that to extract enough fucoxanthin from the seaweed you would need to grow miles and miles of seaweed just to have enough to answer the demand created by this unique product. Thankfully Dr. Ramazanov's work with photo-bioreactors provided the answer. Harnessing the power of the sun and using large cultivation tanks filled with pristine filtered deep sea water he was able to perfect a process that greatly concentrated (200 - 500 times) the amount of fucoxanthin from the seaweed.

Finally Dr. Ramazanov created a proprietary process used to extract the fucoxanthin and make it bioavailable for human consumption.

There is a sad note to the story. Dr. Ramazanov died before he could see fucoxanthin made available for mass consumption. Fucoxanthin is his legacy and Garden of Life is proud to carry it on.

How does fucoTHIN Compare with other products

As you can see from the chart below there really is no comparison. While other weight loss products may claim they work, fucoTHIN has the proof.

fucoTHIN is not JUST a Fat Burner

While fucoTHIN is clinically proven to burn fat, it also has several other benefits:

Powerful Antioxidant - Fucoxanthin is a carotenoid (like lutein and lycopene), which is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from free-radical damage.† It is the pigment that gives brown seaweed its characteristic color and also participates in photosynthesis (the conversion of light into energy). It is found in several different types of brown seaweed. fucoTHIN contains levels of fucoxanthin 200-500 times greater than in seaweed alone!
Pomegranate Seed Oil - Pomegranate fruit seeds are the source of an oil that has a unique fatty acid composition. This unusual fatty acid, punicic acid or conjugated linolenic acid, works synergistically with the fucoxanthin in fucoTHIN to support natural thermogenesis.

The 7-year Journey

Garden of Life and its founder Jordan Rubin are no strangers to top selling products. The Primal Defense brand of probiotics and the Perfect Food brand of green foods are both #1 in sales in the industry. Garden of Life has long been positioned as the premier manufacturer of quality whole food supplements.

Which is precisely why they have never launched a fat burner supplement until now, as Jordan Rubin himself weighs in:

"For the past 7 years I have resisted completely the urge to launch a fat burning product. I have researched all of the ingredients used in these products and frankly I found that they didn't meet my standards or the standards of the doctors and scientists that I collaborate with. While the market for weight management products blew up I was happy to not be a part of it. I felt that most of the products were unsafe (and indeed products containing ephedra proved to be deadly) or ineffective.

In fact we even went a step further with fucoTHIN. Most manufacturers would have launched this product without any human clinical studies. After all there are laboratory studies that prove the method by which fucoxanthin works. Why not make the product available and start seeing returns on the seven year time investment?

For me the answer comes from our competition. The trail of weight management products is littered with broken promises. If I was going to put Garden of Life and my name behind a fat burner, I needed more than just animal studies done in a lab. I needed human clinical trials.

This is of course a gigantic risk. After seven years of development, what if you take the product to clinical trials and it doesn't prove effective? What if the lab results aren't mirrored in humans? All the time and money spent on development would be wasted. This is the reason so many of our competitors don't perform the human clinical trials. They are afraid of the results.

At the end of the day though, you only have your name. People need to trust that name. If fucoTHIN failed in human clinical studies so be it. We decided to put fucoTHIN to the test."

Thankfully fucoTHIN far exceeded all expectations
