Limu Moui Reference
In addition to the usual health-giving vitamins, minerals, amino acids and antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables, Limu Moui also provides several other powerful nutrients including essential fatty acids, polyphenols, glyconutrients, alginate and more. But of the 70-plus beneficial substances found in Limu Moui, by far the most exciting is fucoidan. Keep reading to learn about some of the many intriguing functions of the following nutrients...

What Exactly is Fucoidan?
Fucoidan is a uniquely-structured sulfated polysaccharide (complex carbohydrate molecule) that is found within the cell walls of certain types of brown seaweed. Its moisturizing property is what gives these seaweeds their slippery, sticky, protective texture. It is important to note that fucoidan is NOT found in land-based plants. It is, however, found in high concentrations within the cell walls of Limu Moui.
What Does Fucoidan Do?
While fucoidan itself does not prevent or cure any type of disease, a large body of research suggests that it may provide the extra nutritional fuel that your overworked immune system so badly needs in today's polluted, toxic world.*
Independent Research Studies
If you're the scientific type, you can browse through 500-plus research studies citing fucoidan in the National Library of Medicine's PubMed database at www.pubmed.gov (type "fucoidan" in the search field). Or, you can use the following links to get an idea of some of the recent in vitro and animal research conducted around the world using this promising substance.*
Amino Acids
Amino acids are the building blocks of virtually every fiber of your body, and the primary substances of all genetic material. They are intimately involved in processes such as the chemical messaging system used by your brain, hormone secretion, and enzyme manufacture. "Essential" amino acids cannot be synthesized by your body and therefore have to be obtained from dietary means. When these amino acids are not available in adequate quantities, certain biochemical process in the body may not be able to occur, affecting numerous physical and mental functions. *
Essential Fatty Acids
Your body needs essential fatty acids for the formation of healthy cell membranes, for proper brain and nervous function, and for the production of chemicals that regulate functions such as blood pressure, blood viscosity, constriction of blood vessels, and immune and inflammatory responses. As with essential amino acids, the essential fatty acids... omega-3 and omega-6... cannot be synthesized by your body and must be obtained by dietary means. *
Polyphenols
Polyphenols are potent natural antioxidants. They are important to your health because they have been shown to prevent cellular damage caused by highly reactive molecules known as "free radicals". Free radicals caused by many factors including your own metabolism, radiation from the sun, smoke and other environmental pollutants, toxic heavy metals, and chemicals in your food and water. They act like microscopic buzz-bombs in the body, and unless neutralized they wreak havoc with cellular material including the delicate DNA molecules responsible for normal cellular reproduction. *
Glyconutrients
Small amounts of essential glyconutrients are needed for your body to function properly. They are the basis of communication between cells, delivering the messages that enable cells to work together to keep your body healthy and balanced. Five different glyconutrients have been identified in Limu Moui: fucose, galactose, glucose, mannose and xylose. Only two of these glyconutrients... glucose and galactose... are found abundantly in the typical modern-day diet. *
