I thought this would be an interesting thing to share. Unsure if stacking Fucoidans and anthocyanins confer any similar benefit or not, but this could be an interesting product type to look into. Curious on its modulation of SIRT6 considering the affinity both Fucoidans and Anthocyanins have for it.
“Abstract
Anthocyanins, commonly extracted from aronia, exhibit excellent in antioxidant activity and anti-cancer activity. However, anthocyanins are not only easily oxidized in water but also rapidly disappear from the body, thus requiring a large amount of administration. To solve these limitations, we selected fucoidan, an anionic polymer, to produce an anthocyanin-fucoidan nanocomplex (AFNC) with enhanced absorption and chemical stability by ionic bonding and π-π stacking between anthocyanins. In vitro, AFNC showed increased cell permeability absorption and plasma chemical stability than free anthocyanins. AFNC suppressed the epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT) signal including IκBα/NF-κB signaling pathway and the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. In vivo, AFNC exhibited 3.24-fold higher bioavailability than free anthocyanin in rats. AFNC effectively suppressed the gene…

I’m not sure what’s wrong with the ProHealth product. Seems like they use Fucus vesiculosus which is the same species used in studies. They provided a lab result indicating that’s what they tested for as well. Maybe MYASD can elaborate more.

Can you share those lab results here?
