powerful 'supernutrient'
Strong sunlight, toxins, starchy carbohydrates, lack
of fruit and vegetables and modern day living is creating huge amounts
of free radical oxidation in our bodies. Only eating 12-14 portions of
fruits and vegetables can provide enough antioxidants to clear these
free radicals. AstaXanthin with DHA is a naturally occurring carotenoid
pigment which is a powerful biological antioxidant. Our product is made
using AstaReal Astaxanthin, the most studied Astaxanthin in the world
with over 50 published studies. It was the first source of Astaxanthin
for human nutrition reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration
(FDA).
Antioxidant capacity - Astaxanthin is a
lipid soluble antioxidant and has been shown to provide exceptional
protection against lipid peroxidation at the cell level as well as the
ability to scavenge singlet oxygen, which is the most damaging of all
Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS). Studies comparing astaxanthin to other
well known antioxidants demonstrated astaxanthin to be 1000 times more
effective than vitamin E (a tocopherol) against lipid oxidation and 550
times more effective against singlet oxygen.
Anti-inflammatory effect -
Multiple studies have shown the ability of astaxanthin to reduce
inflammation, which could be considered the underlying mechanism for its
many beneficial effects. In one example, astaxanthin was shown to play a
role in cytokine regulation by inhibiting the expression of
inflammatory cytokines and chemokines.
AstaREAL has been and
will continue to be clinically studied for safety. AstaREAL was the
first astaxanthin to attain FDA GRAS status.
