PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a preparation that includes a sulfated saccharide having lipase and lipoprotein lipase activity-promoting action and is useful for prophylaxis and therapy of hyperlipemia, particularly hypertriglyceridemia and a method of producing the same. SOLUTION: The food includes purified fucoidan or fucoidan-like polysaccharide originating from Mozuku (Nemacystus decipiens). This food includes fucoidan or fucoidan-like polysaccharide in an amount of 0.005-200 g/adult person/day, preferably 0.05-100 g/adult person/day, more preferably 0.5-20 g/adult person/day. Mozuku is suspended in wart water and extracted with water under agitation. The extract is desalted, concentrated and freeze-dried, when desired, further purified to give the purified fucoidan or fucoidan-like polysaccharide. |
