What is AstaREAL® Astaxanthin?
It's the world's leading astaxanthin branded ingredient for human health and personal care.
Astaxanthin is related to other colourful members of the carotenoid family such as lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, and lycopene, but that is where the similarity ends.
Astaxanthin's chemical structure allows it to uniquely span and protect cell membranes and other similar structures against lipid attack by quickly neutralizing reactive oxygen species (a.k.a Free Radicals).
Astaxanthin is documented with high potencies for neutralizing oxygen radicals. For example, it is 550 times more powerful than Vitamin E or 40 times more powerful than beta-carotene against singlet oxygen radicals.
Furthermore, astaxanthin has been classified as a “pure anti-oxidant” unlike other popular carotenoids which may show “pro-oxidative” characteristics under certain conditions.
Astaxanthin's potent antioxidant properties give rise to a number of health related benefits.
Randomized, double-blind placebo controlled studies using AstaREAL® astaxanthin on human health are rapidly gaining worldwide interest. These include studies which may offer improvements to visual health, physical endurance, stomach health and many more*.
