Fucoxanthin-Slim is a supplement that is named after its primary ingredient, fucoxanthin. It is a product that is designed to help dieters to be able to lose weight more quickly and easily. Fucoxanthin – which is often sold under the brand name of Xanthigen in the diet industry – has been to the focus of several clinical research efforts as well as doctoral theses. However, the results have, until now, been conflicting.
The primary clinical study on Xanthigen was 16 weeks long and indicated that the substance produced higher levels of energy and lower body weight among those who used it. At the same time, the primary doctoral thesis on this ingredient was also 16 weeks long, and it did not show any additional weight loss that could be attributed to its consumption, nor did it measure an energy boost. Even the paper that suggested that weight loss did occur attributed this response to reduced caloric intake and not the specific consumption of this ingredient.
That said, fucoxanthin extract is not the only substance within the product formula. It also contains: fucoxanthin extract, pomegranate oil, punicic acid, and olive and palm oils, among its ingredients.
Fucoxanthin is a brown seaweed extract, which is claimed to help with weight loss, despite the conflicting scientific results. Though there were some positive reviews for this product, by Life Extension, many of them noted that they were combining the use of the supplement with other products, such as 7-Keto supplements and others. This could suggest that the product doesn’t work on its own, or that it does not work at all and that it was the other supplements that were producing the results. Furthermore, some of the testimonials indicated that it could take up to sixteen weeks (four months) for weight loss to start to kick in, even in the cases in which it is considered to be effective.
There are a number of conflicting and questionable results connected to the use of products containing the primary ingredient in Fucoxanthin-Slim. This could lead a dieter to believe that there are likely a number of other better options available that have proven benefits and that are more likely to provide results without having to add an additional supplement to the mix. This is especially true as Life Extension doesn’t mention any of the positive studies that have been performed on some of its ingredients, which suggests that the balance of the formula may not align with the results that were produced by that research.
