Biovea Astaxanthin 4mg 30 softgels

Antioxidant Protection for Your Cells • A powerful carotenoid • Effective in protecting cell and mitochondrial membranes from oxidative stress • Enhance the immune system • Powerful at trapping singlet oxygen free radicals Astaxanthin is a natural compound found in the algae Haematococcus pluvialis. This powerful antioxidant has been found to be effective in protecting cell and mitochondrial membranes from oxidative stress. Recent studies have indicated that astaxanthin is more powerful than its carotenoid cousin, beta-carotene, at trapping singlet oxygen free radicals. Astaxanthin, a member of the carotenoid family, is a powerful antioxidant. In vitro research demonstrates that astaxanthin is ten times stronger in scavenging free radicals than other carotenoids such as lutein, zeaxanthin and beta-carotene, and one-hundred times stronger than alpha-tocopherol. Astaxanthin has also been shown to prevent low density lipoprotein oxidation in human blood and to enhance the immune system in animal studies.
What is Astaxanthin?
• Versatile in helping to protect cell membrane and whole-body
• Supports health blood flow and vessel integrity
• Promotes healthy, integrated immune response
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid. It belongs to a larger class of phytochemicals known as terpenes. It is classified as a xanthophyll, which means "yellow leaves". Like many carotenoids, it is a colorful, lipid-soluble pigment. Astaxanthin is found in microalgae, yeast, salmon, trout, krill, shrimp, crayfish, crustaceans, and the feathers of some birds.
Astaxanthin, unlike some carotenoids, is not converted to vitamin A (retinol) in the human body. Too much vitamin A is toxic for a human, but astaxanthin has lower toxicity. It is an antioxidant with a slightly lower antioxidant activity than other carotenoids.
Astaxanthin is the most powerful known natural antioxidant on our planet! Natural Astaxanthin can have up to 550 times the antioxidant activity of Vitamin E and 10 times the antioxidant activity of Beta Carotene.
