Lyndacarol has previously posted on fucoxanthin's metabolic influence but I didn't see anything here about its immunomodulating effects. Looks like it might be good for pwms. Has anyone tried it?

Health magazine article discussing variety of effects of fluco (I've seen some supported in papers so its not completely bogus) in plain English.
