What are the major benefits associated with Astaxanthin?
-Inhibits lipid peroxidation at the cell level, thus protecting the cell membrane and the mitochondrial membrane within the cell. -Crosses the blood-brain barrier, which makes it available to the eye, brain and central nervous system to alleviate oxidative stress that contributes to ocular, and neurodegenerative diseases such as glaucoma and Alzheimer’s. -Provides significantly more antioxidant capacity than other carotenoids and antioxidants such as beta-carotene and Vitamin E. -Entraps free radicals by adding them to its long, double-bonded chain rather than donating an electron. -Stabilizes the cell membrane like a bridge because its polar end groups span the cell membrane, thus increasing its rigidity and mechanical strength. -Neutralizes singlet and triplet oxygen (de-charges) generated by UVA and UVB radiation and other sources. -Binds to a lipoprotein, an efficient transport vehicle, making it more bioavailable. -Increases immune system function including heightened production o
