Composition / Information on Ingredients

Chemical Name: Fucoidan
Concentration: 85% - 99% (batch and supplier specific)
Other Ingredients: Water, minor salt traces, organic acids from seaweed source
Impurities and Stabilizing Additives: None expected in food and supplement grade
Source: Brown seaweed species (e.g., Fucus vesiculosus, Undaria pinnatifida)

First Aid Measures

Inhalation: Remove subject to fresh air, support breathing; medical attention if symptoms persist
Skin Contact: Wash with mild soap and water; remove contaminated clothing
Eye Contact: Rinse cautiously with water for at least 15 minutes; seek care if irritation continues
Ingestion: Rinse mouth, drink water if needed, observe for unusual symptoms
Notes for Doctor: Treat symptomatically, no specific antidote required

Fire-Fighting Measures

Suitable Extinguishing Media: Water spray, foam, dry powder, carbon dioxide
