Description
Derived from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae cultivated under pristine conditions, esterified astaxanthin is a stable, soluble antioxidant from the carotenoid family. Astaxanthin preserves the phospholipid membranes of cells from oxidative damage. In a recent U.S. study, it demonstrated the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and preserve the retina in animals, suggesting its potential for supporting the brain and nervous system. Initial trials with astaxanthin suggest that it may support the skin's natural antioxidant. In a human clinical evaluation, supplementation with astaxanthin provided enhanced antioxidant defense for the skin. Additional studies suggest astaxanthin's immune, cellular and cardiovascular support potential.
