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. 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.
