Astaxantina (AstaReal)

A very powerful antioxidant made available to us by nature, Astaxanthin, a red pigment present in nature in many living organisms.

The main extractive source is of vegetable origin, as it is exclusively synthesized by the unicellular microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis as a photoprotective substance for its cells and spores. It is a carotenoid belonging to the class of xanthophylls, responsible for the characteristic coloration of some fish, including salmon and crustaceans. These animals, not being able to produce this pigment, introduce it through the diet through the zooplacton which in turn accumulates it starting from the microalgae. Another natural production source uses the fermentation of yeast xathophyllomyces dendrorhous or the extraction of the pigment from crustacean by-products such as the increasingly well-known Antarctic "Krill", but the richest source of Astaxanthin which accumulates it in lipid vesicles. to protect against free radicals generated by UV rays during exposure to the sun, the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis remains.

In salmon, for example, astaxanthin protects fish, whose fat is rich in easily oxidizable Omega-3s, from damage caused by oxidative stress. Without this protection, the salmon would not be able to resist the massive oxidative attack that is generated during the ascent against the current necessary for reproduction. In this case, this is the same oxidative stress that is generated in those who perform physical activity.

There are elements in nature that, thanks to their particular molecular structure, have proven to be tens (if not hundreds) of times more powerful than many other more well-known antioxidants, and one of these is precisely astaxanthin, a true absolute antioxidant power of nature.

Astaxanthin, as now found by numerous scientific studies, is the most known antioxidant so far. Its benefits on our body expand into many problems. As an antioxidant it is 500 times more effective than Vitamin E, 800 times more potent than Coenzyme Q10 and 6000 times more than the common Vitamin C.

It should be noted that synthetic astaxanthin is not as effective as that of natural origin and can also cause some disturbances. In fact, the natural astaxanthin we have chosen for our product is AstaReal® Natural Astaxanthin (from AstaReal® Group), obtained from algae, in addition to not containing iodine, has no particular contraindications while that obtained from crustaceans, for example from krill, could give some reaction to those who are sensitive to shellfish.

AstaReal® Natural Astaxanthin, is the most studied and certified version of Astaxanthin in the world, which exploits the best process of culture, extraction and purification of microalgae. In its favor AstaReal® presents 50 human studies including, 23 double-blind, with more than 1400 participants lasting from 2 weeks to 6 months, where it was declared its efficacy, safety and excellent tolerability, without worthy side effects. of note, by AstaReal®.
