Astaxanthin 4mg - 60 capsules
Astaxanthin 4 mg - 60 capsules
Astaxanthin is a natural pigment (carotenoid) that is synthesized by many bacteria, microalgae and yeast and has powerful antioxidant properties that can be used to support skin and heart health, increase endurance, treat joints and restore male fertility. The active substance in Mattisson's product - astaxanthin nataxtin™ is completely natural. Its source is the unicellular algae Haematococcus pluvialis. This algae thrives in lakes, rock pools and arctic sea areas, and it is not for nothing that it is called "red gold". Astaxanthin is vital to many aquatic animals. Crabs, lobsters, krill, salmon, trout, shrimp feed on it, which carry this pigment further up the food chain. The ketocarotenoid astaxanthin accumulates in the meat and shell of crustaceans, as well as in the meat of salmon and trout, giving them their red color. The natural pigment has some chemical similarities to the carotenes lycopene and beta-carotene, which are also plant dyes. However, it is more strongly associated with oxygenated xanthophylls, including lutein and zeaxanthin, which may improve eye health.
Beneficial effects of taking Astaxanthin
• Astaxanthin is the richest source of antioxidants and is hundreds of times more effective in this regard than vitamin E. From a biological point of view, antioxidants are mobile molecules that can repair damage caused at the cellular level by aggressive molecules - free radicals;
• It has a positive effect on the functions of the immune system, which helps the body to fight infectious diseases and other health disorders more effectively. This effect is due to the pigment's ability to activate leukocytes (T-cells), which attack aggressive viruses and bacteria using antigenic markers;
• It exhibits anti-inflammatory properties, making it very useful in the prevention and treatment of diseases associated with chronic inflammation, including celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease and diabetes;
• Increases overall mitochondrial energy production, which improves all bodily functions. Mitochondria are the microscopic power plants in every cell. They synthesize energy in the form of ATP and cells use it to carry out all life processes;
• The astaxanthin molecule is small in size and successfully crosses the blood-brain barrier, providing brain protection and reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases;
• It can accumulate in the eyes and protect them from UV damage, which is the prevention of many ophthalmic diseases. Improves visual accommodation and reduces eye fatigue, glare and blurring, helping to balance the contrast of vision. It may be useful in the treatment of macular degeneration;
• The antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of astaxanthin have enormous benefits for the health of the cardiovascular system. Studies show that this carotenoid helps reduce the level of low-density lipoproteins (LDL or "bad" cholesterol), associated with a high risk of developing atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease and heart attacks;
• Improves the body's response to insulin, correcting insulin resistance and reducing the risk of developing type 2 diabetes;
• Provides significant skin health benefits, both internally and topically, such as protection against age-related changes. Accelerates wound healing and relieves inflammation and cell damage due to exposure to ultraviolet rays;
• Protects the intestinal mucosa, reduces the risk of Helicobacter pylori reproduction and favors the treatment of gastric ulcers.
