fucoTHIN Review

The fucoTHIN diet pill touts its patent-pending formula claiming that it is naturally thermagenic, which they say means this pill will raise your metabolism and help your body burn fat. My concern about fucoTHIN is that its main ingredient, fucoxanthin, has had little to no research done on it so there is no way to know if it will help you lose weight or if it is safe for your body.

Ingredients

• Fucoxanthin
• Pomegranate Seed Oil

Fucoxanthin-This is a carotenoid found in brown seaweed. Fucoxanthin has only been studied in lab rats. However, lab rats that were given fucoxanthin did lose some abdominal fat.

Pomegranate Seed Oil-Contains antioxidants that may help lower cholesterol.

The star ingredient in fucoTHIN is fucoxanthin, which has yet to be studied in humans. Researchers do not yet understand how this substance works, therefore, more research is needed to determine its value. The only other ingredient I could find in this diet pill is pomegranate seed oil, which is a healthy antioxidant but may or may not affect weight loss.

fucoTHIN’s Marketing

The fucoTHIN marketers rely heavily on testimonials and research. The problem with their research is that it was not conducted by an independent third party and there is no sure way to verify the results. The studies that are cited are the studies that were performed on lab animals and don’t even mention using fucoxanthin, so that doesn’t necessarily convert to human usage or say anything about this “proprietary” ingredient. There are testimonials and accompanying photographs, but in the “before” pictures the people are hardly clothed and in the “after” photos they are fully clothed, so it is hard to tell if there is a change in weight. To me, it seems like if you went from a size 24 to a size 10, it would be much easier to tell the difference.

fucoTHIN Price

The fucoTHIN website helps you find various retailers that sell this diet pill and offer a $5 coupon, but there is no price listed that I could find.

fucoTHIN Guarantee

They claim that fucoTHIN takes an average of six weeks to get your body to respond and that it can take up to eight weeks to notice any change in your weight, but there is no mention of a six- or eight-week guarantee. I’ve said this before (and I’m sure I’ll say it again) but a good guarantee is at least 60 days and it is best for a diet pill to offer a lifetime guarantee.

Conclusion

While fucoTHIN is not packed with fad ingredients and junk substances, there is no research to back up their claims. The main ingredient, fucoxanthin, has not been tested in humans and may or may not help you lose weight–or even be safe to ingest for that matter. If I were you, I’d wait for some more independent research to be done before I put this pill in my body.
