*Diabetes : Fucoxanthin has also been found in animal studies to decrease insulin and blood glucose levels. Researchers hypothesize that fucoxanthin anti-diabetes effect may be because fucoxanthin appears to promote the formation of DHA (the omega-3 fatty acid found in fish oil). DHA is thought to increase insulin sensitivity, improve triglycerides and reduce LDL ("bad") cholesterol. The combination of [[Fucoidan]] and Fucoxanthin treatment has been reported to have a role in improving the glucose homeostasis and lipid metabolism in the type II diabetes mouse model, as well as in improving the ventricular rhythm and muscular function of the aging mouse model.

*Cancer : Preliminary research in test tubes suggests that fucoxanthin may have anti-tumor effects. No studies have looked at whether this holds true in humans or if taken orally. It's far too early for fucoxanthin to be used as a complementary treatment for cancer.
