Astaxanthin 60 capsules
Benefits & overview
Astaxanthin is an extremely powerful carotenoid from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, one of the richest sources of natural astaxanthin. Reddish in pigment, it gives shellfish such as krill, lobster, shrimp and salmon their pink color. Astaxanthin is unique in its function and provides superior antioxidant protection. Its impressive antioxidant qualities benefit the body in many ways, including offering support against oxidative stress that can have negative effects on cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, skin and eye health. The astaxanthin in this product is extracted directly from microalgae using a solvent-free technique that ensures maximum control and purity and enables optimal bioavailability and stability.
This is oxidative stress: Oxidative stress is an internal chemical imbalance. It arises when the body itself produces too much of something called "free radicals", or when substances that cause damage are taken into the body (e.g. toxins from the environment, alcohol, substances in cigarette smoke, etc.). Substances shown to help prevent oxidative stress are called antioxidants. Some antioxidants the body can make on its own; others we must supply through the diet or as supplements.
