Many antioxidants, even some of the more potent ones, are unable to cross both your blood-brain and blood-retinal barriers to reach your brain, nervous system and eyes. Astaxanthin is different. Along with its rare ability to cross these protective barriers, it also helps protect your brain, eye tissue and just about every cell from free radicals (as many as 19 at a time) and other substances that can cause oxidative damage and cellular aging.* Having up to 6,000 times the quenching power of other well-known antioxidants, astaxanthin offers astounding potential for many functions, including cellular energy production, cognitive and psychomotor function, eye and skin health, immune function, a normal inflammatory response and cardiovascular health.* Our Organic Astaxanthin (12 mg) stands apart from other formulas in three key ways: We use only Organic Astaxanthin extract from microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, the preferred source. Our astaxanthin is grown in pure, clean glass tubes, rather than contaminated open ponds like other products, and is untouched by chemical solvents, preservatives, plasticizers and residues. Contains 12 mg of astaxanthin per serving for those who want the higher level used in many studies without taking multiple capsules.
