Independent Laboratory Analysis:


Over 1000% More Fucoidan in Original Limu™  than Closest Rival!

Original Limu from The Limu Company is without a doubt the hottest nutritional product on the market today.

It contains a nutrient called fucoidan, a sulfated polysaccharide cited in more than 600 scientific studies in the US National Library of Medicine's database. Experts believe that fucoidan is at the heart of why tens of thousands of consumers are experiencing such amazing benefits with Original Limu.

But whenever a blockbuster nutritional product hits the market it's not long before the poor imitations start crawling out of the woodwork!

So which brand of Limu is superior?

Check out the results of a 2004 independent laboratory analysis of the two most popular brands and you will be utterly and entirely shocked! The analysis showed that Original Limu contained not just double the amount of fucoidan... not just five times the amount of fucoidan... but a whopping 2800% more fucoidan than the look-alike product!

In 2005, the company making the look-alike changed their name and claimed that they had doubled the amount of limu moui (seaweed that contains fucoidan) in the product. However, this would still mean that Original Limu™ contains over 1000% more fucoidan than the look-alike product!

This is nothing short of scandalous and totally blows the lid off any controversy about which brand of Limu is best!

Advice to Consumers

Original Limu is the only product in the world that contains a proprietary, time-proven, fucoidan-rich liquid Tongan Limu Moui extract that took over 15 years to perfect.

So don't be fooled by poor imitations. You simply cannot find this uniquely beneficial extract in any other product except Original Limu™... period!

 

 

Here is the exact text of the 2004 lab analysis letter stating that Original Limu™ contained over 2500% more fucoidan than the look-alike product.

Dear Mr. Raser,

Molab Ltd. was engaged by The Limu Company via [name deleted intentionally], their manufacturer of Limu Extract, to examine the comparative Fucoidan contents of its Original Limu product and compare it to Vita Corp's Limu Plus. The results of the laboratory analysis are summarized below.

The examination was carried out on samples drawn by Molab from unopened bottles of the following products:

  • Sample (1) Original Limu
  • Sample (2) Limu Plus

Fucoidan Analyses:

Sample Fucoidan Content
(1) Original Limu 0.14 gms/100 mls
(2) Limu Plus 0.005 gms/100 mls

Microscopic Examination:

(1) Original Limu
This product contained a large number of broken spirulina spirals. On staining with selective stain soluble material giving the same reaction as fucoidan was precipitated.
(2) Limu Plus
No insoluble material which could be identified as seaweed cellular matter by morphology was found. With selective staining a few rare particles which gave the same staining reaction as fucoidan were found. These appeared to be irregularly shaped broken fragments of insoluble material.

Comments:

The microscopic examination confirms the fucoidan analyses.

  1. The analysis indicates that the Original Limu has a fucoidan content in excess of twenty-five times that of the Limu Plus.
  2. The microscopic examination indicates that the sulphated polysaccharide present in the Limu Plus sample is in an insoluble form and hence would be of a much lower bioavailability.

The test procedure used, Methylene Blue precipitation, is one of the standard methods used for specifically determining sulphated polysaccharides, in this case Fucoidan. The procedure is used by Molab for seaweed extracts and seaweed products.

Yours Faithfully,
