fucoTHIN™ is claimed to be a patent pending, basic, whole food-based supplement, which contains a proprietary blend of Fucoxanthin, an element derived from Brown Algae and Pomegranate Seed Oil. It was created to burn fat more effectively, especially belly fat, which is notoriously hard to burn. While this product has been heavily marketed as a new kind of fat burner, which uses a model similar to Omega-3’s to assist in weight loss, it has consistently scored poorly on consumer-driven websites, in terms of results.

HoodiaP57 - Pure 20X Strength Certified Hoodia
This product is simply as good as Hoodia gets. It is 100% certified, pure Hoodia from South Africa. It also boasts 20X the strength. If any Hoodia product is going to suppress appetite, this is the one. We also like that HoodiaP57 contains nothing else except pure Hoodia -- no fillers and no stimulants. This means it is safe to take whenever you want – including close to bed time. There are hundreds of Hoodia products on the market now, but we don’t even bother to list them on this site, because 99% of them are just cheap imitation Hoodia that is not even from South Africa, where the P57 molecule is the most effective. We chose HoodiaP57 to be on DietBlogTalk because it is of the utmost quality. The maker even includes a certificate of origin from the South African government stating the Hoodia originates from there. This product has nearly a perfect ‘Thumbs Up’ score. Check this one out.

Slim10® - 10 Patented, Proven Ingredients - 1 Pill
Slim 10® has hit the marketplace with a huge bang. This is the first and only weight loss pill ever made that has combined 10 different patented, clinically proven effective ingredients. And to top it off, they added 500mg of pure South African Hoodia in a 20X potency to every serving. This pill is pure weight loss science. In fact, with this many award-winning ingredients in one capsule, we don’t see how anyone could not lose weight by taking it. Each of these effective ingredients is standardized so you always get a product you can count on, and they all have not just one, but several clinical studies backing their claims. The Slim 10® customers say it all—check out these enthusiastic postings on the blog. In fact, Slim 10® is on par with the best diet pills around like Nuphedrine® and HoodiaP57®. Nuphedrine is definitely the strongest of the three pills on metabolism boosting, and HoodiaP57 is the best for just pure appetite suppression, but Slim 10® is the most balanced of all of them in terms of a variety of 100% clinically proven and patented ingredients. The truth is, it really just depends on what pill is best for the consumer—some will do better with Nuphedrine, others with HoodiaP57, and of course some with Slim10®. We can definitely say that you can’t go wrong with Slim 10® in terms of losing weight. Read a full Slim 10 Review Here.

The really amazing part is that most of their customers come from word of mouth, and it is quickly becoming one of the most popular diet products available.

HoodiaBites
This product is just what it sounds like - chewable Hoodia pieces. The good news is that they actually use a superior quality form of Hoodia, and it works. In fact, this is probably the fastest way to feel Hoodia, because when you eat it, it digests so much quicker. In fact, most customers report that it works in minutes not hours like traditional capsules. The chewable pieces are very much like a piece of taffy and taste good. They kick in faster than a quality Hoodia pill, and definitely do the trick. They are only a few calories per piece, and may be taken safely throughout the day. This is a good product to use by itself or in conjunction with another diet pill/program. Hoodia Bites are well liked by the customers – the blogs score well. Read a full HoodiaBites Review Here.

Many people turn to the Bible and scripture for spiritual guidance and everyday support. Jordan Rubin, the author of The Maker’s Diet, also found inspiration for his weight loss and wellness plan.

There are three two-week phases, which is enough time to generate weight loss, but not overwhelm the diet. Rubin offers sound nutritional advice that focuses on cleansing the body and overall health. However, the diet also offers advice in other areas of life, such as hygiene, and advises dieters to thoroughly cleanse the face, hands and neck in the morning and evenings.

Slimaluma™
(U.S. Patent 7,060,308) -- We found that this ingredient is proven to drastically suppress the appetite. When you’re hungry, the hypothalamus tells the brain that food is needed. And when the stomach is full, the hypothalamus tells the brain to stop eating. Slimaluma™ sends a signal to the hypothalamus telling the brain that your stomach is full, which helps people eat much less. The customers speak highly of Slimaluma™ -- but it needs to be used in a supportive diet capsule with other essential ingredients.

Nola: Fucothin was HORRIBle it didn't burn any of my fat thats's for certain. It just made me feel ill, not recommended.

Abe: I am not sure this prodcut has the best ingredients in it. Seems too over priced for what it is.

Sheri: So I bought Fucothin bcs its advertised as stimulant free, but I didn't realize that it didn't have an appetite suppressant in it. Was not very useful to me, I reallly didn't notice any difference when tkaing it.

Clifford: fucothin sounds like a dirty word

Marianne: UGh Fucothin made me SICK TO MY STOMACH. NOt one I would recommend, thumbs down.

George: My appetite was still huge with Fucothin, I am not sure why they even call this a diet pill. I got nothing out of it.

Noreen: I have read all the reviews and Fucothin is just a lousy cheap product that doesn't have any real fat burner's in it. I would not waste the time or money!

Kara: Using FucoThin made me feel bloated I don't know why that was but it was not very pleasant. A whole month of feeling bloated and no weight loss either.

Seth: Fucothin contains seaweed. I read that seaweed is contaminated with heavy metals, a lot of the time., perhaps thats why people are feeling bad.

Brenda: I guess i thought Fucothin sounded like an all natural healthy kind of product so i tried it. It didn't turn out to be so healthy for me. I got seaweed poisoning. NOt sure if it was from pills or my diet, I like asian food. Vomiting, diarrhea, fever and sweats not fun. I would never take a product that includes seaweed again bcs you never know the source of it and what it might be polluted with. Brenda

Autumn: Just bought this bcs I've been reading about how good seaweed is for me. I hope it will help me lose weihgt and give me vitamins or something too I guess I just hope maybe I'll have better luck than some of you, I think it sounds good otherwise.

Marquisa: I did not loose one single pound with Fucothin. It was a big disappointment to me, I thought it was going to increase my metabolism but it didn't. I need something more powerful than this for my weight loss.

Lauren: My question is what is the weight loss ingredient in Fucothin? I was looking at the ingredients list and it doesn't seem like there are any weight loss ignredients in it.

Troy: FUCOTHIN GAVE ME TERRIBLE GAS & DIARRHEA NO WEIGHT LOSS RESULTS.

Linsey: Fucothin IS like a dirty word, to me. Big waste of my money.

Nadine: I think Miracleburn sounds like 8 thousand times better http://miracleburn.com/

Yolanda G.: Well i didnt have any side effects with FUcothin, but it just didn't work. I gave it a lot of time, too. I took it for 4 months and there was STILL nothing happening. I decided then that i needed something better.

Rachael: So I've been taking Fucothin for three months, it isn't do anything for me at all, should I stop or give it another month, thx

misty: Fucothin is a weak formula....it's practically just a vitamin. It didnt work for me at ALL. You can get better stuff for the same money.

Teresa: Love to see natural products available they're so much better than pharmaceuticals. I've heard some nasty stories about some of those pills.

maura: I've read all the reviews and just want to place my vote here, fucothin is NOt the best product availible.

Inez: Well, I had tried another seaweed weight loss product before, and it made me very bloated and crampy and caused problems with gas. Once it did even make me throw up. I heard that part of the issue is where the seaweed is taken from. That is my question about Fucothin. Where does the seaweed come from? I think the Pacific Northwest is a bad spot for contaminated sea weed.

Deva: YES, I LOVE Miracleburn!!! BEST fat burner EVER!!

Miranda: Fucothin was just lame i did not experience any weight loss. I tried it bcs i thought that it was good it had not stimulants in it. But I ALSO need something that's gonna work! This was not strong enough, not even close.

ctr_578: This pill was really a big nothing, no sickness or anything, but no weight loss either.

Jena: Well I am noticing a little weight loss with Fucothin, I am also working out every day and watching my diet. Slowly but surely i am making progress. I do wish the gassy thing didn't happen so much.

hannah: Yeah, its just not natural for human beings to eat seaweed :) if it was natural we would live in the ocean

ekaj: Well I had wanted to buy Fucothin but could not find store in my area, so I did a search to try to buy it online. That's when I found this site. Definitely not buying it now, thanks.

todd y: has this worked for anyone pls it doesn't sound too promising

Archie: FUCOTHIN DID NOT HELP ME TO LOOSE A SINGLE POUND THIS IS JUST A WEAK PRODUCT THAT DOES NOT NEED TO EXIST.

mattie: Same here 0% results.

Sharon: Wow, I thought Fucothin was popular or something...doesn't sound like it is based on these posts.

Norma: I have always been a fan of natural sources for any kind of health problem and with Fucothin it was no different. But the problem is, Fucothin is NOT as natural as it seems. SUre, seaweed might come from nature but HEAVY METALS are a byproduct of dumping in the oceans & pollution. I learned this the hard alwyas always do your research first, is what I learned. I would not recommend Fucothin.

Mike: I agree with Norma. Do your research first. I must admit I saw the ad, and considered trying it. I am glad I read these comments and other sights that rate products. One rated fucothin 80th out of 200 diet pills. Thanks for your information.

LYNDA: I took fuco thin for three weeks and ended up with horrible diarrhea. I stopped taking it over a month ago and still have the diarrhea and horrible stomach cramps.

Mila: Fuco Thin made me sick to my stomach, gave me terrible headaches, and gas. I would NOT recommend it to anyone. Another rip off!!

stephy: one more thing to add to my previous post....I did step up the dosage to 3 pills 3X a day. The bottle calls this "advanced use". Seems to work for me. For the first month, I only took 1 pill 3X daily.

Carol Ann: UGh, I can't imagine taking MORE of these pills every day, fucothin caused me to become nauseous, and just yesterday I got motion sickness on my way to work. I had to get out of the subway car to vomit, I am not joking, it was a very humilating experience, I am just glad I was able to get out in time. This has never happened to me before, I know it was from taking the pill in the a.m.

Bruce Cameron: these people that wrote thumb down about fucothin they got sick or blooted must have eatin like pigs after taken the pills dident bother me I dident get sick and I lost 85lbs you can check it out and i will till you I took the 3 pills a day before each meal read the book and if you eat pork you will get sick it a killer

Heather A.: Sorry I am not a pig and eat moderate meals, but I agree with the consensus. FucoThin made me also feel bloated and I would not ever buy or go thru that again. Thumbs down.

Mel: I have no idea why people are saying this makes you sick? There is nothing in it that makes you feel bad at all.

Cindy: ok, I read all the comments.I have to agree with some and disagree with others. I have been taking it for 2 months. I started with the cleanse, and I lost 10 lbs and felt a little better. As the ads say I lost some of my belly fat. After the cleanse I gained the 10 lbs back & also the belly fat. I started back on the whole Perfect Weight America diet (the book was free with Fucothin from VitaminShoppe). I have been following the diet and taking 3 pills a day with meals and exercising. VERY LITTLE WEIGHT LOSS - I agree with the bloating, gas and no loss of appetite. I am not going to buy any more of those pills and will try something else. I bought into this bcs of the all-natural claims. But it has not helped me. Save your money and buy something better.

Jen: I can't say anything yet. I've been taking it for a day. Yes, I am experiencing the gas and bloat drastically. I haven't lost anything of course because it's too soon. I will continue to hang in there. I need for this to work 'cause I can't take any stimulants. I will keep you all posted as to any results

Kathleen Marion: I have a lot of weight to lose, but my main concern was my thyroid. I don't have insurance, but I have ALL the symptoms of hypothyroidism. I've tried other Garden of Life products and while expensive they are very high quality. I had to play with the number of gel caps on the fucothin. I started slow, one in the morning and one at night. I increased it to as many as three twice a day, but have found with the addition of bovine thyroid tissue one at night and two in the morning work well for me. I have lost some weight, but my biggest concern was the incredible fatigue I had. I work out at Curves almost every workday morning before work, and eat healthy small meals through out the day and feel much better. The weight will come off slowly, but most of all I am grateful that I can live life again. Before I would just go to work come home and go to bed. I know this is working because if I run out and don't take it for even a day or two, I can feel it. If your expecting a huge weight loss without changing your life, adding exercise and eating healthy this is not the product for you.

Angela W.: Started out strong on FucoThin but even after making dietary adjustments I just still had too much gas/bloat and stopped taking after 2 weeks. I agree diet & exercise is key to weight loss and will continue to search for my perfect diet aid...this is not the one, unfortunately.

Sarah N.: I tried Fucothin a year ago. At that time, I was already working out 3-5 times/wk and eating very healthful with no sugars and only whole grain carbs. I had reached a plateau and using the Fucothin got me kick started on my weight loss again. I used it for 2 months and lost weight much faster than I had before I went on it. No matter what product you use your body will only tolerate it for up to 12 weeks before you need to stop because the effectiveness drops after that amount of time. I did not experience any of the bloating or gas that the other commenters had and I really liked that this product is natural and does not have any stimulants. I had great energy and really no problems. I just recently started back on Fucothin again and lost 10 pounds within the first 3 weeks. This product is not for speedy quick fixes but is to be used in combination with diet and excercise. If you look closely at the label it is not promoted as a fat burner but a "whole food based dietary supplement that promotes a healthy metabolic rate and SUPPORTS healthy breakdown of fat" - in other words, don't expect some quick fix fat burner.

amy: FucoThin caused me to have a great deal of embarrassing gas and bloating, and i really never noticed any weight loss or improvements in that area. i think this is just seaweed and i can do a lot better than that. I am gonna keep looking for something that actually curbs my appetite rather than making me feel uncomfortably bloated.

Ma'at: I like Sarah N. have used Fucothin and have not experienced any of the side effects stated by others. I was surprise to read that so many people have experienced illness. My experience could be based on the fact that my diet is very clean (vegetarian, raw sugar if any, no foods with preservatives & live foods as much as possible). I also workout 3-4 times a week and bike ride, swim and take yoga classes on the days I don't go to the gym, so all of these factors along with Fucothin could be why I saw weight lose of 7-10 lbs when I hit my plateau. I love the fact that it's natrual, so I would recommend the product as long as you incorporate a health life style (diet & exercise) with it. Like others have stated it's a slower process, probably because it's natural.

Bethany: OMG, I cannot even IMAGINE going to a yoga class while taking FucoTHIN - I KNOW that would be an embarassing experience for me. Too much gas with this. I also eat low fat, low sugar, no red meat, whole grains, etc, and I exercise regularly (just got into the spinning classes & love it) Still, in one month on fucothin, i had no weight loss, no inch loss and just a bit of discomfort, as others have mentioned. natural is great, gas is NOT. sorry.

Melissa: *fucoTHIN*I've being using it for about 2 weeks now, 2 pills twice a day, no weight loss, actually gained weight even with working out, very bad gas and my stomach is bloated. I won't buy this product again.

Sonia: Fucothin caused my blood pressure to elevate. BEWARE of this product

Karen: I was researching fucothin thinking I might try it. Too many negative experiences. Save your money and just exercise and eat correctly to lose weight.

Debra: fucoTHIN it just made me sick...

Janie: I had been dieting and exercising hard for weeks and hadn't lost a single pound, then I started Fucothin and CONTINUED my healthy diet and exercise regime and the weight has started coming off. Seaweed is one of the best things on the planet for our health, our thyroid, our skin, etc. It's a diet AID, not a miracle pill. I think if used properly and with realistic expectations, this is a great all natural product. You need to drink more water if you're gassy.

sarah: I felt quite bloated on Fucothin, like many have discussed, and in the end i think i realized that i don't have a thyroid problem. I think the reaason i haven't been able to lose weight was because my metabolism is very slow. I recently decided to try a different approach. A combination metabolism booster and apppetite suppressant (Nuphedrine). So far that's been working better than the Fucothin ever did.

rita: I find fucothin has helped me drop off 7 inches in a month but I take ten to fifteen a day, no weight loss yet but I will take the inches any time.

Anonymous: I have been taking for 3 weeks. I started to work out 4 x week and decreased calories toi 1000-1200 each day. I have lost 8 pounds in 4 weeks... something that was impossible before! I love the product and would highly recommend. I never felt better.

Maggie: I am a 55 yr. old woman with the belly fat issue. I began the FT in Nov '08 and have been taking one capsule with each meal as the box says. The diarrhea began almost immediately, which is the major drawback to this product. It is no fun to schedule one's activities around bathroom necessities! The bottom line to the whole experience is only an 8# weight loss that occurred quite quickly with the loss of several inches in the belly area and one pant size. But it has been 5 months and no more progress, and I have a LOT more to lose. Due to the above mentioned problem, I am quite hesitant to do the increase to 2 or even 3 capsules per meal...not to mention the cost! This is too much money for too little results. So I am currently seeking some other way to help and will dispense with the FT...very disappointing. - fucoTHIN

manesseh: I haven't noticed anything after a month and I know diet and excercise are key...I do that as well. I heard that Max Gxl's N Fuze was the really the best out there AND works!

Ana: I have been taking fucothin for a month now and have definately seen a difference in inches, it is not a miraclepill if that is what is expected. It also states that it will take 6 weeksfor significant results. Recomended dose is 3 pills before each meal. I have had no side effects and from a person that has tried many diet pills I can tellyou that this definately works. Moderate diet and 30 min excersise is all it takes. You cant expect weight loss if you are just sitting around (I know).

fucoTHIN™

Weight loss is big business in America these days, spawning a generation of pharmaceutical and holistic supplements geared toward promoting weight loss. Some of the holistic products use time-tested and clinically proven extracts, such as Hoodia, to augment weight loss; while others use elements that seem effective on the surface, but which later prove to be more hype than fact.

fucoTHIN™ is a weight loss formula which is imbued with certain fat burning abilities. It also has a colorful back story in which its main ingredient, Fucoxanthin, was supposedly discovered in an exotic locale, using cutting-edge science, evoking and stories of ancient cultures, as well as including a dedicated Russian doctor. All of which makes for a great story, and marketing tool. However, the problem we find is that this product continuously scores low on consumer-driven websites, in terms of results.

That said, while we take this kind of information into account, we still conduct our own research regarding its potential effectiveness, ingredient safety and customer service. So, let’s take a more in-depth look at fucoTHIN™ to see what it may do to enable people to get rid of unwanted belly fat.

 Ingredients at a Glance
fucoTHIN™ contains a proprietary concentration of Fucoxanthin, which is derived from Marine Algae and Pomegranate Seed Oil. No other ingredients have been disclosed for this element at this time.

 Ingredients in Focus
Fucoxanthin, a carotenoid, is the primary ingredient of this formula, but in scientific circles, it is most often thought of as being an accessory pigment in the chloroplasts of brown algae, being responsible for giving them a brown or olive-green color. Fucoxanthin is also found in wakame and hijiki, foodstuffs which are available in specialty food stores. However, brown seaweed is known to be the richest source of Fucoxanthin.

We know that this developer stresses Fucoxanthin’s ability to burn fat, especially belly fat, but to date, only animal-based studies have been conducted. In these studies, researchers in Japan found that Fucoxanthin, which was derived from wakame, promoted the loss of abdominal fat in obese mice and rats, while other animals lost five to 10% of their body weight.

However, these same results have not been duplicated in humans as of yet. In fact, these studies did not ascertain how it worked. Some researchers “believe” that it may target a protein called UCP1, which augments the rate at which abdominal fat is burned, and that it may stimulate DHA production, which is one of the Omega-3 fatty acids found in fatty fish. However, it is important to remember that humans and rats have very different metabolisms, so an element that enables a rat to lose weight may not work for a human, and visa versa.

 Diet Lifestyle
We find this website provides individuals with a great deal of information regarding their product – including its formulary, which is always great to see. However, as of review, they are rather short on testimonials, which is troubling to us, given the fact that they have scored so low on outside consumer-driven sites in terms of results. We feel the fact that this section is so short gives the scoring on these consumer-driven sites far more creditability. It has been our experience that effective, results-driven products have lengthy testimonial sections.

 Positives
• Posted testimonials, but we would have liked to have seen more posted


 Negatives
• At this time, its main ingredient has not been proven to work in humans - just rats and mice
• Does not contain an appetite suppressant, such as Hoodia


 Final Thoughts
The fact that fucoTHIN™ does not include any known fat burners or appetite suppressants, such as Hoodia or Advantra-Z®, is a troubling development to us, because unlike these extracts, its main ingredient, Fucoxanthin, has not been found to be effective in humans. Sometimes this occurs, so we then take a hard look at consumer-driven data to see what others have to say regarding a product’s ability to produce results.

fucoTHIN™ actually scored badly on these sites, which is not surprising, given its formulary. This negative scoring was most likely generated because of lack of results. We do not always agree with the scoring on these sites, and when we don’t, we let it be known. However, in this case, we find that these scores are correct. As an alternative, there are quality formulas currently available that have received a great deal of positive feedback from people satisfied with their results.
