Is fucoidan a supplement that would benefit me with nonhodgkins lymphoma ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
I say no: This stuff is heavily promoted by folks citing "thousands of scientific papers". They all involve minor or non-surprising effects on cells, and after scanning forty years' worth of papers, I couldn't find a single basic study showing benefit in a controlled animal cancer experiment. Don't give your money to sub-scientists, and get with an evidence-based holist for kind of guidance.
