Sea-Thin, or SeaThin, is a fat burner that is being promoted as the "Original Marine Thermogenic". Why do they call it a marine thermogenic?

Sea-Thin claims that there are clinical studies being done on the effectiveness of fucoxanthin as a metabolic agent. Sea-Thin could be a fad, but only time will tell if these ingredients are of any use in helping people lose weight. Reviews have been all over the board. Some people say it works while others say it is a waste of money. That is pretty common in most diet supplements.
