AstaReal: High Quality Natural Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring keto-carotenoid pigment that is found in certain marine plants and animals. It is an antioxidant that belongs to a larger class of chemical compounds known as terpenes. Astaxanthin is built from five carbon precursors, and known as the “king of carotenoids.”
What Are the Benefits of Astaxanthin?
It is recognized as one of the most powerful antioxidants and reduces free radicals in the body, protecting cells against oxidation. Because of astaxanthins molecular structure, this red pigment has an incredible scavenging ability for lipid and free radicals. Although it is most well known as a “super antioxidant” it has shown that it may have a number of other benefits. These areas include muscle endurance and recovery, joint health, eye health, skin health, cardiovascular health, anti-fatigue, male fertility, and cognitive function.
Where does Astaxanthin come from?
Astaxanthin is a member of the carotenoid family, in close relation to beta-carotene, lycopene, and lutein. This red antioxidant is obtained from the cultivation of an ancient form of microalgae, Haematococcus Pluvialias, and can be used as a supplementary ingredient in various food products. Astaxanthin is also found in high concentrations in wild Pacific sockeye salmon, krill, algae, red trout, shrimp, crab, and lobster. Astaxanthin’s red pigmentation is what helps give these marine animals and plants their unique and vibrant coloring.
