Have you experienced any side effects with Fucoxanthin or fucoThin?
April 25th, 2008I was just reviewing some comments here at Fucoxanthin.info, and noticed two recent ones asking if anyone else has experienced any side effects with fucoxanthin or Fucothin (a name brand of fucoxanthin). Both of these comments are noteworthy because they only correlation they could find with new symptoms was the time they started taking Fucoxanthin. One had heart palpatations and the other experienced a rapid heart beat and blurred vision (could it be a small percentage of the population is allergic at least to some degree?). And in the case of Brooke, the symptoms stopped when she stopped taking fucoxanthin, and started again when she started again. We aren’t drawing any conclusions yet, but very interesting. Have you had any side effects? Do you feel fucoxanthin or fucothin worked or is working for you?

I have been taking Fucoxanthin for 7 weeks. I started with palpations about 3 weeks ago. Could this be causing them? 650 mcg. of iodine and 1000 mg. of seaweed. I take them every day. This is the only new thing I have added to my diet. Thanks, June

I started taking fucoaxanthin about 6 weeks ago. I have had vision issues (blurring and seeing spots) since taking it (my eyesight is fine normally). Any known side affects regarding vision? When I stopped taking the supplement a few weeks ago, the vision issues also subsided. Began taking fucoaxanthin again today - my vision has become very strange – seeing spots, once ‘again.’ Anyone else with this weird side affect?
PS I also had an elevated heart rate with this product – I assumed it was the ‘fat burning magic’ doing its job (I did loose 8 pounds in 2 weeks however). BTW: I am a very healthy 32 year old who works out almost everyday my entire life and am rarely if ever ill - so having a side effect to a natural supplement is kind of strange…
