Astamax 6mg 120 softgels Vitals

Product description

Carotenoids are yellow to reddish dyes that occur naturally in plants and certain microorganisms. They play an important role in the transfer of energy in photosynthesis. In addition, they protect these organisms against the harmful effects of sunlight. Astaxanthin, a very special carotenoid with a characteristic red color, is produced in nature by plankton, algae and some plants, fungi and bacteria. The highest concentration of astaxanthin is found in the green microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis (which is also the source of Astamax from Vitals). Astaxanthin enters the food chain via plankton and algae and provides the pink-red pigment in aquatic animals such as salmon, trout, shrimp, crab, lobster and crayfish, as well as some birds such as the flamingo. For these animals, astaxanthin is a vitamin-like substance. Due to its special properties, astaxanthin has the ability to occupy the optimal hydrophilic and hydrophobic position in the lipid bilayer of cell membranes and mitochondrial membranes. Superior source and production method The astaxanthin that Vitals has selected is AstaREAL®, from the Swedish producer AstaReal of the same name, the pioneer and expert in the field of natural astaxanthin. AstaReal is the first in the world to start developing and producing astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis. More than 40 human studies have now been performed with AstaREAL®. The production method of producer AstaReal is unique and ensures pure, natural astaxanthin with the highest concentrations of the highest quality. AstaREAL® is not an extract but a 'whole food'. The algae with astaxanthin is harvested at the optimum time and fully used, in contrast to other (Hawaiian) production methods, where the algae are grown in open basins and the astaxanthin has to be extracted prematurely from the algae to avoid contamination with unwanted micro- organisms. appearance.
