Icelandic Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin, one of nature's most powerful antioxidants. It is considered nourishing and strengthening for the skin and to protect it from the sun's harmful rays.
Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid that gives salmon, shrimp and flamingos their beautiful pink colour. It is also thought to play a part in the incredible endurance and strength of salmon as they swim long distances and leap up swift rivers.
Astaxanthin has attracted considerable attention in recent years because of its exceptionally powerful antioxidant properties. Some researchers believe its antioxidant activity may be many times stronger than that of many other well-known antioxidants, including vitamin C. By counteracting oxidative stress, astaxanthin can support general health and well-being.
Astaxanthin is popular among athletes and those who lead an active lifestyle, as studies suggest it can support the body's energy balance, increase endurance and promote better recovery after exertion. It is also thought to support the health of joints, eyes and skin. Many use astaxanthin to support the skin's moisture and elasticity and to protect it from the effects of environmental factors.
The astaxanthin in this product is derived from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis, which is one of the richest natural sources of astaxanthin known. This gives you pure and potent astaxanthin from a natural source.
