  1. I have no connection to this product, except as a self-appointed guinea pig.

    I've been taking Fucothin for about two weeks. It is sold as a thermogenic.
    My typical body temperature (for years) was around 97.6 on my digital
    thermometer. Today, my temperature is: 98.7

    The study supporting the Fucothin stuff indicated that it would take 6 weeks
    for a thermogenic effect.

    The company that sells it makes no claim about appetite effects. However, I
    seem to get a consistent reduction of appetite for about 2 hours after
    taking the capsule.

    The stuff is made from seaweed.

    FYI

  2. Why would seaweed raise your temp?

    Why would someone wants to raise the body's temperature?

  6. hhhmmm... how exactly do you pronounce that? Fucothin...

    I'd like to Fucothin myself... as its a great way of exercise and frankly,
    my temperature rises a few degrees every time. :-)

    What? Taking a pill is a "great way of exercise"?

  9. You ask: Why?

    Burning calories can be literally that. The idea is that the basal metabolic
    rate is increased. Weightloss is from the difference between calories
    consumed and calories burned. The body has various temperature regulating
    mechanisms, so, if the Fucothin works, one would expect the body temperature
    to not go above 98.6. However, the body may be using perspiration or changes
    in circulation to dissipate the extra heat.

    I can lose weight without this, but it is hard work. I welcome with hope
    something that may make things easier without causing psychological
    stimulant effects.

    Two weeks is a short time to judge, but my subjective impression is that
    this stuff is a "home run" winner.

    Expect supply sources to become difficult, as word gets out.

    Again, I have no connection to the product. I don't even own stock in
    "Garden of Life."

    That's the scary part. Wanna bet there are warnings that
    anyone with thyroid issues will explode with a gory thud
    if they take these tablets? ;^)

    Quoted message said:

    Body temperature is a very simple measure of basal
    metabolism. Every tenth of a degree above ambient is
    some number of calories getting burnt daily.

    I think it's a play on words. What four letter word starts with the first
    three letters of Fucothin?

    Isn't iodine deficiency associated with some thyroid disorders?

    Wouldn't seaweed have a high iodine content?

    When I was seriously hyperthyroid (before it was diagnosed, as a matter
    of fact), I was always warm, wearing t-shirts in rooms where others were
    wearing sweaters and complaining of how cold it was. When I was
    HYPOthyroid, I was always cold, using several blankets even in the
    summer. I didn't bother with an air-conditioner in my current house
    until my thyroid was well regulated.

    If you worked as hard at eating less as you do with obsessing about your
    weight, you'd lose weight.

    It's not and you will be off on some other tangent sooner than later.
