Product descriptions

One of the most powerful antioxidants on Earth: astaxanthin Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring, fat-soluble pigment (colouring agent) that has a very strong antioxidant effect. It can be found in algae, yeast, salmon, trout, shrimp, lobster and in the feathers of some birds (e.g. flamingos). Astaxanthin, unlike other carotenoids, does not convert to vitamin A in the body, and while vitamin A is toxic in excessive amounts, astaxanthin can be consumed in unlimited amounts! A hundred times more powerful antioxidant than vitamin E, it binds free radicals in the body. Free radicals are unstable atoms with unpaired electrons that steal electrons from other atoms. Many scientists believe that an uncontrolled chain reaction of free radical formation is at the root of the ageing process. The unique molecular structure of astaxanthin is the reason for its very strong antioxidant capacity. Its molecule is very similar to that of beta-carotene, but the subtle differences in its structure make a huge difference to its biological effect. It is effective in the prevention and treatment of diseases such as: - cancer - heart rhythm disorders - hypertension - ageing (including immune system decline and other ageing processes) - inflammation - protects the eyes and skin against harmful UV radiation - improves blood cholesterol levels Astaxanthin is synthesized by plants and microalgae, animals cannot do this, so they get it from plants and algae and through the food chain. How does it improve physical performance? During physical activity, such as exercise or sport, we breathe more intensively because the body needs more oxygen. The more oxygen we breathe in and pump through our body tissues, the more free radicals are produced. Free radicals damage muscle cells (cell membranes and DNA). To stop the damaging effects of free radicals, we need to consume effective antioxidants. Astaxanthin "flushes" free radicals from the muscles and prevents muscle damage and muscle breakdown. It also accelerates muscle recovery after strenuous physical activity
