The strongest fucoidan among all seaweed for inhibiting cancer cells is in Okinawa Japanese waters. For chemically speaking, the major components for fucoidan consisted of mainly fucose which is a kind of polysaccharide with strong biological activity. However, patients need to take actual fucoidan in order to reach the best effectiveness for inhibiting cancer cell.
