Antioxidant

Astaxanthin is a dark-red pigment, a member of the carotenoid family, found in the marine world of algae & aquatic animals.

It is produced from the microalgae Haematoccous pluvialis, the richest natural source for astaxanthin.

Recent scientific findings indicate that astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant & can serve as a potent free radical scavenger, moreover astaxanthin has been found to provide many essential biological functions, including protection against lipid membrane peroxidation of essential polyunsaturated fatty acids & proteins, DNA damage & UV light effects; it also plays an important role in immunological defense.

Astaxanthin is having a very unique molecular structure, it has hydroxyl group & 13 double carbon bonds in it, & this makes astaxanthin the strongest antioxidant of the world Unique aspects of the astaxanthin structure appear to allow it to pass the “blood brain barrier” meaning it can deliver antioxidant activity benefits directly to the brain, eyes & nervous system to alleviate oxidative stress that contributes to ocular & neurodegenerative diseases such as glaucoma & Alzheimer’s.

Astaxanthin exerts its superb antioxidant property right before any free radical begins to attack the cells, this would protect the cells from being destroyed at initial stage, thus terminating the free radical oxidation damaging chain reaction; compared to other antioxidants which start to react only after the cells being attacked by free radical, therefore astaxanthin plays the key role as front line protector to maintain a healthy metabolism by repairing & renewing cell for an optimum bodily function at all times.

Astaxanthin is known as the most powerful antioxidant which is much more superior to the existing antioxidants- Astaxanthin is 53.7 times stronger than beta carotene Astaxanthin is 17.9 times stronger than pycnogenol Astaxanthin is 100-500 times stronger than vitamin E Astaxanthin is 64.9 times stronger than vitamin C Astaxanthin protects from light induce damage, photo receptor cell damage, ganglion cell damage & inflammation

Astaxanthin is the only antioxidant useful in asthenopia ( Eye fatigue). It alleviates visual asthenopia by observed improvements in the accommodation function & recovery of ciliary body & helps to tackle eye exhaustion.

Astaxanthin plays a vital role in management of: • Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) • Diabetic neuropathy • Central retinal arterial and venous occlusion : blockage of the main artery supplying to the retina. • Glaucoma • Inflammatory eye diseases The red wolfberry fruit, commercially called goji berry, is a precious Chinese medicinal herb, whose root, leaf, flower and stem are all good for human health.

Wolfberry contains significant percentages of a day\'s macronutrient needs – carbohydrates, protein, fat and dietary fiber. About 68% of the mass of dried wolfberries exists as carbohydrate, 12% as protein, and 10% each as fiber and fat, giving a total caloric value in a 100 gram serving of 370 (kilo) calories. Wolfberry helps to fight eye fatigue, prevents macular degeneration and offers resistance to eye diseases.
