Cladosiphon has established use as a sea vegetable and, along with Nemacytus, is widely known commercially as "mozuku". These genera are also a source of the group of bioactive sulphated polysaccharides known as "fucoidan". Fucoidan is included generally in brown seaweeds such as Mozuku, Konbu, Wakame, Kelp and other seaplants, among which Okinawa Mozuku has obtained its superiority for much more Fucoidan content. Our Fucoidan powder is extracted only from Okinawa Mozuku.

Brown seaweed is an important general nutritive tonic in essentially every land in which it grows. Until recent years, it was eaten almost exclusively and universally by the Japanese. Studies have shown that the Japanese intake of brown seaweed is significantly responsible for that country's dramatically lower breast cancer rates, as well as the presence of less obesity, heart disease, respiratory disease, ryeumatism and arthritis, high blood pressure, thyroid disease, infectious disease constipation and other gastrointestinal ailments.

The prefecture of Okinawa, whose inhabitants enjoy some of the highest life expectancies in Japan, also happens to have one of the highest per capita consumption rates of brown　seaweed per person per day. It is noteworthy that the cancer death rate in Okinawa is the lowest of all the prefectures inJapan
