Customer Reviews of Garden Of Life fucoTHIN, 90-Count Bottle
Customer Review: Well, this item definitely helps stop my cravings!!! New update --change my mind... I would change the stars to 1
Summary: 5 Stars
Below is what I wrote when I first tried fucothin. I knew it was a risk but the research I read was convincing enough for me to want to give it a try. Once I was suing the product consistently, about 2 weeks into its use -- I noticed that my urine was smelling like rotted vegetables, the odor was strong it wafted up from the toilet. y urine also became cloudy and dark. It took me several days to figure out what might the cause - I suspected fucothin because it is made from (Japanese) brown seaweed. I also noticed I started craving cakes and sweets and was not able to control those urges -- the opposite of my initial experience. You are supposed to take fucothin for 6 weeks before you will experience the thermogenic (fat-burning) effect. I do serious cardio 5 -6 times a week and lift serious weights 2-3 times a week. Though I kept up with my cardio in the Am, by PM I had not energy to lift weights. All of this led me to suspect it was the fucothin-- as it was the only thing I changed.
So I stopped taking it. It took about 4 days for my urine to stop smelling, being cloudy, and burning. I realized that a certain malaise I had been feeling was lifting. And my food cravings stopped.
These kinds of supplements have different effects on different people so if this interests you give it a try -- but only get one bottle (a month's worth.) I bought 3 more after my initial positive experience. Though I got them at a great price on Amazon -- I am now stuck with a more than 3 month supply that cost me nearly $100. And my experience was bad enough, I would not give it to anyone.
My original very positive review follows:
I am on a plan in which I eat 6 small meals instead of 3 large ones and snacks. (Keeps metabolism burning more sustainedly throughout the day.) I also exercise with cardio 5 days a week and lifting weights 2-3 days a week.
My biggest problem is at night when I crave sweets -- it get so bad, that to minimize damage I will binge on fruit -- which is still a lot of sugar going into my system late in the evening -- which is very fat-producing.
Though I got Fucothin as an addition to my panoply of thermogenics, it had a side benefit completely unexpected. If I eat my food on time, spaced throughout the day as it should be, I can manage my late night sweet cravings quite well with some part skim ricotta cheese mixed with Splenda sweetened protein powder.
I can't comment on its thermogenic effects as it is to be taken consistently for at least 6 weeks before its effects kick in. I have not done that yet.
Customer Review: I LOVE THIS 5 Stars
OK, I AM OVER 40 AND MY METABOLISM HAS SLOWED WAY DOWN especially AFTER 4 KIDS!!! ANYWAY I STARTED TAKING THE FUCOTHIN 2 WEEKS BEFORE EASTER! I HAD GIVEN UP MEATS, SWEETS AND COFFEE FOR LENT WHICH WAS VERY HARD! OK SO I'M CATHOLIC!! ANYWAY I TRY TO EXCERISE 2-3 DAYS A WEEK FOR 30 MINUTES AT THE MOST PLUS RUN AROUND ALL DAY WITH MY KIDS. I COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT I COULD ACTUALLY FIT INTO MY SIZE 6-7 PAIR OF BLUE JEANS THAT I COULDN'T FIT INTO 2 WEEKS AGO!I WAS SO SUPRIZED! I DONT REALLY LIKE TO SEE MYSELF IN THE MIRROR NAKED BUT I NOTICED THAT MY BELLY FAT WAS ACTUALLY DISAPPEARING YOU KNOW THE ONE BELOW YOUR C-SECTION SCAR AND I HADN'T DONE ONE SIT UP! SO WAS IT THE FUCOTHIN? OR MY DIET WITHOUT SWEETS/MEATS/COFFEE FOR 40 DAYS? I DONT KNOW BUT I RAN OUT & SO DID MY LOCAL NUTRITION STORE! OKAY SO WHAT DID I TAKE! THE BOX SAYS YOU CAN START WITH 1 SOFTGEL 3 TIMES DAILY WITH FOOD AND AT LEAST 8 OZ OF WATER! I WENT FOR THE ADVANCED USAGE AND TOOK 3 SOFTGELS 3 TIMES A DAY WITH FOOD AND WATER!

YOU NEED TO READ DR JORDAN RUBIN BOOK THE MAKERS DIET FIRST AND OF COURSE TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR TOO!Customer Review: Yes...it does work
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not the kind to stop and write a review, but I felt this was a warranted case. Over the course of 6 years or so now I have steadily gained pounds until I fall into the "obese" category. For whatever reasons, stress, emotions...whatever, I went from a size 5 to a size 12-14. I am active, and the weight has been a problem. I had searched several alternatives in a weight loss supplement and found this item at a Whole Foods Store. I purchased my first bottle there and have been taking Fucothin for about 5 months.
(For my backstory you need to know this)For Christmas of 09(more like January 10) I purchased a Wii for my mom as a gift. She uses it for the step programs and together we track our weight goals. In honestly I hadn't even gotten on it in several months(since about the time I started Fucothin), summer for me means outdoor activities.
To make this long story shorter, I got on the Wii and found to my pleasant surprise that I have lost over 20 lbs over the course of these 4-5 months. Thats not alot each month but I am satisfied since that falls under healthy weight loss. My diet has always been fairly healthy except for the coffee/soda intake. I haven't had any issues with an odor in my urine, however even though I drink coffee and soda I also drink lots of water to keep myself hydrated. I am taking 8 capsules once a day, since I don't have time to space them out. I have no jitters, no digestive issues, and no other effects other than the slow steady weight loss. My physical exam this year came out clean with great results other than the weight that I am working on. I am sure everyone gets different results from this product but these are mine.
Customer Review: Amazing for me!

Garden Of Life fucoTHIN, 90-Count Bottle
I had been rigorously exercising for months without any results (due to a medication I was taking) until I started using this stuff in conjunction with generally eating less/ being totally devoted to a new 'health plan' (diet... but I hate that word)
Fucothin helped my dad lose about 20 pounds. It's been a year and he has kept it off, so I decided to try it myself. In the beginning I was skeptical BUT it has been only three weeks and I have lost 9 pounds! I KNOW that I would not have lost so much weight without the help of Fucothin. It may just be me, but Fucothin actually helped curb my appetite as well. It has really worked for me! I have also experienced NO weird side effects at all, perhaps aided by the large amount of water I drink? Regardless, I really believe this stuff is legit; Garden of Life is a reputable company...
Ultimately, I highly recommend using Fucothin, exercise, and a revision of your diet to help you lose weight. Basically if you are not a complete idiot it will work!
Customer Review: Works great, no side effects
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I started taking these pills about a week ago. I picked these because they seem to be a natural product from a reputable company. I was skeptical, like many of the other reviewers. I also started cardio kickboxing classes and I've been watching what I eat. I started with one pill at breakfast and one at dinner. I didn't feel much, but I measured and weighed myself on day one.
The next day I took two at breakfast and dinner. No side effects. I wasn't sure whether or not it was doing anything, but I found I forgot to eat. My mind wasn't on food as much and I seem to not crave sweets quite as much. It has now been a week. I've lost 8 pounds, 1 inch off my waist and a little off my thighs and hips. People have noticed already. I am only planning to lose 20-25 pounds, so this is a great start.
A couple of days ago I also started using a whey protein diet shake. This seems to be keeping my blood sugar level, and it seems to be helping with the cravings. I feel good, and I plan to continue with these pills. It's really nice to have found a diet pill that seems safe and effective.
