Marinova (Tasmania, Australia) is conducting a new clinical trial, in collaboration with Nutrasource, to further explore the immunomodulatory properties of Maritech fucoidan, a marine polysaccharide found naturally in brown seaweed, in healthy adults.
Previous research on Maritech fucoidan has shown that it may:
The new study is designed to piggyback on existing evidence that suggests Maritech fucoidan acts as an immune priming agent by increasing cytotoxic T cells and natural killer cells, reducing the levels of inflammatory cytokine interleukin-6, and modulating the key market immunoglobulin.
“High-purity, certified organic fucoidan is already included in a multitude of innovative nutritional supplements targeting immune health,” said Marinova’s CEO and managing director, Paul Garrott, in a press release. “Marinova’s investment in this new clinical trial will deepen our understanding of the unique health benefits of Maritech fucoidan.”
New study shows that vitamin K2 as MK-7 may have neuroprotective qualities
May 17th 2024Researchers examined the effects of MK-7 and menaquinone-4 (MK-4) on neuroblastoma cells to understand how different forms of vitamin K2 impact the expression of genes involved in neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation.
