Meticore is an FDA-approved new supplement
on the market which includes 250mg of ingredients like Fucoxanthin, Citrus Bioflavanoids
(citrus aurantium fruit), Moringa (moringa oleifera), Ginger Rhizome (Zingiber
officinale), African Mango Seed (Irvingia gabonensis), Turmeric Rhizome
(Curcuma longa). Works for men and women.
Add
to that added 10mcg of Vitamin B12 (as Cyanocobalamin) and 35mcg of
Chromium (as Chromium Picolinate). The 10mcg Cyanocobalamin is not much at all,
so even if you have MTHFR mutation, as 25% of global population have it, this amount
should not really affect your regular daily life.
The Meticore works as weight loss supplement by boosting
metabolic function and hormonal optimization. Let’s talk in short
about a couple of ingredients and why they work for weight loss.
Here is information about Fucoxanthin from official government
studies (foreign government).
Fucoxanthin, an allenic carotenoid, can be isolated from edible brown seaweeds. Recent studies have reported that fucoxanthin has many physiological functions and biological properties, such as antiobesity, antitumor, antidiabetes, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hepatoprotective activities, as well as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular protective effects.
Therefore, fucoxanthin
can be used as both medicinal and nutritional ingredient to prevent and treat
chronic diseases.” Fucoxanthin: A Promising Medicinal and Nutritional
Ingredient

So, here we have a natural ingredient derived from seaweed.
And seaweed is well known for many of nutritional and metabolic properties. In
Japan, seaweed and se products make up a significant portion of the diet, and results
are evident – very few obese people in Japan.
Here is more from that study, with evidence why this ingredient works:
The study by Hashimoto et al. [63] showed that the
bioavailability of fucoxanthinol was higher in human subjects than in mice.
They also found that the metabolism of fucoxanthin differed between human
subjects and mice. Fucoxanthinol is considered to be the primary active
metabolite in human. “https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4461761/
And even more:
Fucoxanthin is a safe pharmaceutical ingredient. Clinical
research showed that taking fucoxanthin was thought to speed up metabolism, but
the metabolic boost did not stimulate the central nervous system”
Consequently, finding efficient strategies to prevent obesity is crucial. Researchers found that fucoxanthin supplementation could play a beneficial role in antiobesity through various pathways (Figure 3).
Here is information from another medical scientific source: “Accumulating data suggest that food supplementation with seaweeds which traditionally are an important part of food culture in South-East Asian countries might lead to essential health benefits.
In this short review, we summarize findings from
experimental studies on the effects of fucoxanthin (a carotenoid derived from
brown seaweeds) on lipid metabolism, adiposity, and related conditions and
discuss the possible underlying mechanisms.” https://www.nmcd-journal.com/article/S0939-4753(15)00140-4/abstract
“The
anti-obesity effects of fucoxanthin are apparently mediated by the hormones
leptin and adiponectin through their common target AMK-activated protein
kinase, resulting in downregulation of lipogenic enzymes and upregulation of
lipolytic enzymes. Fucoxanthin also suppresses adipocyte differentiation and
induces the expression of uncoupling proteins in visceral adipose tissue.
Conclusion
The results of experimental studies suggest that consumption of
fucoxanthin and its derivatives as nutritional supplements is a promising
option for prevention and treatment of obesity and a wide variety of related
pathologies, including metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and heart disease.
Yet, clinical trials are warranted to assess a therapeutic value of fucoxanthin.”
