Fucoxanthin Levels in Maternal Serum at Birth and Eczema Risk in Offspring in Early Childhood: A Birth Cohort Study

Fucoxanthin, a marine xanthophyll carotenoid, has been shown to exert beneficial health effects. Cell‐based and animal‐based experimental studies have shown that fucoxanthin has the potential to mitigate eczema symptoms. Hence, we sought to assess whether fucoxanthinol 3‐arachidate, a fucoxanthin metabolite, measured in maternal serum at birth is associated with eczema development during early childhood.
