Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants yet discovered.
Astaxanthin is one of a group of natural pigments known as carotenoids. In nature, carotenoids are produced principally by plants and their microscopic relatives. Animals
cannot synthesize carotenoids and thus all natural carotenoids are first
made in plants.As an antioxidant, astaxanthin has been shown to be up
to 500 times more powerful than Vitamin E and more than 10 times as
potent as beta-carotene. As an antioxidant, astaxanthin was shown in ORAC
testing to be 5 times more potent than Lutein.* A variety of human clinical
studies have shown significant health benefits from astaxanthin. Because
astaxanthin freely crosses the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers, astaxanthin
can readily neutralize free-radicals and other reactive species in the eye
and nervous system. Protection of the eye and brain tissue from oxidative
stress could potentially provide valuable support for both eye and brain
health.
Astaxanthin was also found to be a powerful modulator on the
immune function in a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind human
study. Likewise, when looking at the protective effects of UV light on cells,
astaxanthin was found to be 1000 times more effective than both beta carotene and lutein.
Astaxanthin was also found to have excellent benefits
for the cardiovascular system. By inducing enzymes that metabolize foreign
compounds, astaxanthin helps the body to naturally "detoxify." One of
the most remarkable recent discoveries found that astaxanthin significantly
reduced the amount of DNA damage found in humans.*
Astaxanthin used in this product is natural (not synthetic) and is manufactured
from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis grown in closed culture
using ultra-pure water.*Our Vegan Astaxanthin has 4 mg of pure astaxanthin per softgel, which is many times stronger than many other astaxanthin products sold on the market.
