Deva Nutrition: Vegan Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is a member of the carotenoid family of compounds. Animals cannot synthesize carotenoids and thus all natural carotenoids are first made in plants. As an antioxidant, astaxanthin has been suggested to be more powerful than Vitamin E and beta-carotene.* As an antioxidant, astaxanthin was shown in ORAC testing to be 5 times more potent than Lutein.* A variety of human clinical studies have suggested significant health benefits from astaxanthin.* Because astaxanthin freely crosses the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers, astaxanthin can readily neutralize free-radicals and other reactive species in the eye and nervous system.* This could potentially provide valuable support for both eye and brain health.*

Astaxanthin was also found to be a powerful supporter on the immune function in a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind human study.* Likewise, when looking at the effects of UV light on cells, astaxanthin was found to be more effective than both beta carotene and lutein.* Astaxanthin was also found to have excellent benefits for maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system.* By inducing enzymes that metabolize foreign compounds, astaxanthin helps the body to naturally "detoxify."* Astaxanthin used in this product is natural (not synthetic) and is manufactured from the microalgae haematococcus pluvialis grown in closed culture using ultra-pure water.* Our Vegan Astaxanthin has 4 mg of pure astaxanthin per softgel.
