faq
Kelp Extract FAQ
- ●
What is Kelp / Seaweed Extract Powder containing Fucoxanthin and Fucoidan?
This is a concentrated botanical extract derived from edible brown seaweeds, such as Kelp (e.g., Laminaria species) or Wakame (Undaria species). It is specifically processed to enrich and standardize two key bioactive compounds: Fucoxanthin (a carotenoid) and Fucoidan (a sulfated polysaccharide).
- ●
What are Fucoxanthin and Fucoidan, and what are they known for?
Fucoxanthin is a marine carotenoid pigment known for its antioxidant properties and research related to metabolism and fat cell function. Fucoidan is a complex sulfated polysaccharide studied extensively for its potential immune-modulating, antiviral, anticoagulant, and antioxidant activities.
- ●
How is the Fucoxanthin content standardized in this extract?
The Fucoxanthin content is typically standardized to a specific percentage, commonly ranging from 1% to 10% or potentially higher, measured accurately using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC). Check the COA for the specific batch concentration.
- ●
How is the Fucoidan content standardized and verified?
Fucoidan content is usually standardized to a high percentage, often ranging from 50% to 95%. Verification typically involves specific polysaccharide assays or UV-Vis spectrophotometry methods, calibrated against Fucoidan standards. HPLC may also be used for structural characterization. The method and result are on the COA.
- ●
What specific type of Kelp or Seaweed is used as the source?
Common sources for high-quality Fucoxanthin and Fucoidan extracts include brown seaweeds like Laminaria japonica (Kombu), Undaria pinnatifida (Wakame), or Fucus vesiculosus (Bladderwrack). The specific source impacts the exact profile and can be confirmed on product documentation.
- ●
What are the main B2B applications for this Kelp/Seaweed Extract?
Primary applications are in dietary supplements targeting weight management support (Fucoxanthin), immune health (Fucoidan), antioxidant protection, and overall wellness. It’s also explored in functional foods, beverages, and potentially high-end cosmetic formulations.
- ●
Is this extract tested for heavy metals (Arsenic, Lead, Mercury, Cadmium)?
Yes, this is critically important for seaweed products. Each batch undergoes rigorous testing for heavy metals including Arsenic (including inorganic arsenic speciation where required), Lead, Cadmium, and Mercury to ensure levels are well within strict international regulatory limits (e.g., USP, EU standards).
- ●
What is the Iodine content of this Kelp Extract?
Kelp and brown seaweeds are natural sources of Iodine, but levels can vary significantly. Our extract is tested for Iodine content, which is reported on the COA. Depending on the processing, Iodine levels may be reduced or standardized. Please specify if you have particular Iodine level requirements (high or low).
- ●
What extraction process is used?
Extraction typically involves using food-grade solvents, often purified water or hydroalcoholic solutions (water/ethanol), optimized to extract both the polysaccharide Fucoidan and the carotenoid Fucoxanthin efficiently. Purification steps follow to concentrate the actives.
- ●
Is your manufacturing facility GMP certified?
Yes, our Kelp/Seaweed Extract Powder is produced in facilities that comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP), ensuring consistent quality, safety protocols, and traceability.

What are the storage recommendations and shelf life?
Store the powder in a cool (below 25°C), dry place, protected from light and moisture, in its original tightly sealed container. Both Fucoidan and Fucoxanthin benefit from protection against degradation. Typical shelf life is 18-24 months under proper storage.
- ●
What is the appearance, taste, and solubility?
The powder is typically fine, ranging in color from light yellowish-brown to darker brown. It has a characteristic mild seaweed or marine aroma and taste. Fucoidan contributes to water solubility/dispersibility, while Fucoxanthin is lipid-soluble, so overall solubility depends on the ratio and processing. Check spec sheet for details.
