Synopsis

Astaxanthin is one of the world’s strongest antioxidants, and it is considered as a pure antioxidant with no harmful pro-oxidative effects. Unlike other antioxidants, astaxanthin remains stable even at higher concentrations and does not turn into a reactive molecule that could cause damage to cells and tissues. Astaxanthin belongs to the family of carotenoids and is considered as a marine phytonutrient. It is a fat-soluble antioxidant that settles into the membranes of our cells and mitochondria after we consume it. There, it helps protect our cells by neutralising harmful free radicals both inside and outside the cells. Astaxanthin also offers anti-inflammatory properties, which my help to reduce low-grade silent inflammation. Research findings indicate that astaxanthin offers many health benefits, stretching from immune, eye, gut, skin health to improved muscle function. AstaReal AB is a global leader in the production and research of natural antioxidant astaxanthin with over 75 clinical trials strengthening the health effects of astaxanthin.
