| Description |
- Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant. The free radical scavenging activity of astaxanthin protects lipids from peroxidation and reduces oxidative damage of cells, cell membranes, mitochondrial membranes.
- Astaxanthin increases strength and endurance.
- Astaxanthin seems to improve the immune system by increasing the number of antibody producing cells.
- Astaxanthin protects the eyes and skin from sun radiation damage by quenching singlet and triplet oxygen.
- Astaxanthin is a carotenoid. It is classified as a xanthophyll, which means "yellow leaves". Like many carotenoids, it is a colorful, fat soluble pigment.
- Source- microalgae, yeast, salmon, trout, krill, shrimp, crayfish, crustaceans.
- Astaxanthin unlike some carotenoids, does not convert to Vitamin A (retinol) in the human body. Too much Vitamin A is toxic for a human, but Astaxanthin is not. However, it is a powerful antioxidant; it is 10 times more capable than other carotenoids.
- Astaxanthin is a natural nutritional component.
