What
is Astaxanthin?
• Versatile cell membrane and whole-body protectant
• 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 **0 times the
antioxidant activity of Vitamin E and *0 times the antioxidant
activity of Beta Carotene.
For adults, take one (1) softgel daily, preferably with a meal.
