Undaria pinnatifida extract 10% fucoxanthin
product description
Fucoxanthin is a distinctive marine carotenoid found in edible brown algae, and our extract is sourced from Undaria pinnatifida, the seaweed known as wakame. It has attracted strong research interest for its ability to support thermogenesis through uncoupling protein 1 in adipose tissue, making it a science-led active in metabolic wellness.
Our fucoxanthin 10% grade is standardized by HPLC so formulators can dose the carotenoid reliably in capsules, softgels, and tablets. Because it is a seaweed-derived ingredient, every batch is also controlled for iodine, heavy metals, and inorganic arsenic, with results documented on the COA.
KH Health Industry Co., Ltd. is an integrated fucoxanthin manufacturer and supplier based in Xi'an, Shaanxi, China. We combine competitive fucoxanthin bulk pricing with complete documentation — a batch-specific fucoxanthin COA, MSDS, and stability data — plus technical support for global nutraceutical brands.

FAQ
Q:What is fucoxanthin and where does it come from?
A:Fucoxanthin is a marine carotenoid pigment that gives brown algae their olive-brown color. Our fucoxanthin 10% is extracted from Undaria pinnatifida, the edible brown seaweed known as wakame, and standardized for consistent carotenoid content in dietary supplements.
Q:Why is fucoxanthin linked to metabolic health?
A:Research interest centers on fucoxanthin's ability to activate uncoupling protein 1 in adipose tissue, which increases thermogenesis, the process by which the body burns stored fat for heat. This mechanism underpins its use in weight-management formulas alongside diet and exercise programs.
Q:How is fucoxanthin different from astaxanthin?
A:Both are marine carotenoids, but their sources and mechanisms differ. Astaxanthin comes mainly from microalgae and yeast and is prized as an antioxidant, while fucoxanthin comes from brown algae and is studied for its thermogenesis pathway. Many formulators combine them for complementary antioxidant and metabolic support.
Q:Do you test fucoxanthin for iodine and heavy metals?
A:Yes. Because fucoxanthin is derived from seaweed, every batch is tested for iodine content and heavy metals, including inorganic arsenic, with results reported on the COA. Sourcing, washing, and extraction are controlled to keep contaminant levels within food-grade limits.
Q:How stable is fucoxanthin during formulation and storage?
A:Fucoxanthin, like other carotenoids, is sensitive to light, heat, and oxidation. We protect it during extraction and recommend capsule or softgel formats with added antioxidants and opaque packaging. Accelerated and long-term stability data are available to support your shelf-life studies.
Q:What are the MOQ, lead time, and documentation for fucoxanthin?
A:The standard MOQ is 25 kilograms, with samples from 50 to 100 grams for evaluation. Lead time is typically two to three weeks after order confirmation. Documentation includes a batch-specific fucoxanthin COA, MSDS, and method summaries, and third-party testing can be arranged.
