Many antioxidants and even carotenoids that are closely related to Natural Astaxanthin
cannot cross the blood-brain barrier. Dr. Mark Tso, PhD was the first person who proved
that Astaxanthin could cross the blood-brain barrier. He took laboratory rats and tested
their eyes for Astaxanthin. As expected, he did not find any present. Then he fed the rats
Astaxanthin and retested, this time finding Astaxanthin present in the retina. He proved
that Astaxanthin could cross first the blood-brain barrier and get into the brain, and
then once in the brain it could reach the retina and the macula by crossing through the
blood-retinal barrier.
These results suggest that astaxanthin supplementation results in improved erythrocyte
antioxidant status and decreased [phospholipid hydroperoxide] levels, which may contribute
to the prevention of dementia.
It's time to "think pink". No, that's not just the familiar marketing slogan
used to promote breast cancer awareness (and, it can be argued, to push the multi-million
dollar breast cancer industry). Instead, thinking pink is something that could literally
save your brain.
Why is astaxanthin such an important antioxidant? Dr. Mercola talks about astaxanthin, why
it's more powerful than other antioxidants and what some of the many benefits might be.
Taking Astaxanthin For Just 3 Weeks
Enhances Your Body's Antioxidant Defenses
Daily supplements containing astaxanthin, the pink pigment that gives salmon its color,
may boost the body’s antioxidants defenses in obese people, says a new study from
South Korea.
Dr. Rudi Moerck talks about astaxanthin's role in reducing or maybe even preventing
inflammation. He also explains how this is possible and how astaxanthin compares to other
drugs and supplements.
The benefits of astaxanthin,a powerful anti-inflammatory supplement derived from algae.
Helps with cataracts,diabetes,pancreatitis,back pain,arthritis,heart disease,carpal tunnel
syndrome and much more.
Powerful Antioxidant Found Useful
for Most Common Cause of Death
A new study on marine carotenoids nutritive properties of marine plants – shows
that two carotenoids in particular, astaxanthin and fucoxanthin, have strong antioxidant
properties, and possible anti-cancer effects.
The body of medical research on Astaxanthin is fast approaching critical mass for several
diverse applications. Over the last decade in particular, the amount of studies done by
private researchers and universities throughout the world has escalated. The intense
interest in undertaking new research on Astaxanthin is a direct result of the remarkable
qualities of this fascinating molecule.
Wat is algen antioxidant Astaxanthine? Wat is de werking van het algen antioxidant? Waarom
is dit product zo uniek? Waarom spreken deskundigen zo lovend over dit algen antioxidant?
Welke voordelen kent het? Hoe krachtig is dit algen antioxidant?
Boek over ‘algen-antioxidant'
astaxanthine van Gert Schuitemaker
We zijn door de jaren vertrouwd geraakt met de antioxidanten die vruchten van het land zo
prachtig rood of donkerblauw kleuren en die voor ons zo supergezond zijn. Astaxanthine is
een algen-antioxidant uit het water met een dieprode kleur. Het is de stof die waterdieren
zoals de flamingo, de zalm en de kreeft rood kleurt. Astaxanthine is een antioxidant die
tegenwoordig te weinig voorkomt in ons dagelijkse menu, maar in feite een
‘oerbeschermer' is. In zijn voorwoord stelt dr. Frits Muskiet dan ook de vraag of
astaxanthine moet worden gerekend tot de ‘oermoleculen', die reeds werden gebruikt
door de eerste levende wezens op aarde. Tot deze moleculen behoren onder andere onmisbare
stoffen als vitamine D en de omega 3-vetzuren DHA en EPA. Muskiet juicht het toe dat met
dit boek eindelijk de aandacht wordt gevestigd op de nog tamelijk onbekende stof
astaxanthine.
Astaxanthin-Rich Extract from the
Green Alga Haematococcus pluvialis Lowers Plasma Lipid Concentrations
Dyslipidemia and oxidative stress contribute to atherogenesis. Astaxanthin (ASTX) is a
red-colored carotenoid well known for its highantioxidant capacity. However, its effects
on lipid metabolism and antioxidant defense mechanisms have received only limited
investigation. We fed male apoE knockout (apoE)(-/-) mice, a mouse model for
atherosclerosis, a high-fat (15%)/high-cholesterol (0.2%) diet alone (control) or
supplemented with ASTX-rich Hematococcus pluvialis extract (0.03% ASTX by weight) for 4
wk.
Plantina Astaxanthin-eco is een extract van de alg Haematococcus pluvialis, gekweekt in
een uitzonderlijk schone en gifvrije omgeving op Hawaii, in een zogenaamde ‘Biosecure
Zone’. Ook de extractiemethode wordt met onschadelijke stoffen uitgevoerd volgens een
gepatenteerd proces.
Antioxidant effect of astaxanthin
on phospholipid peroxidation in human erythrocytes
These results suggest that astaxanthin supplementation results in improved erythrocyte
antioxidant status and decreased PLOOH levels, which may contribute to the prevention of
dementia.
Astaxanthin-enriched-diet reduces
blood pressure and improves cardiovascular parameters
Taken together, these results show that diet supplemented with astaxanthin has beneficial
effects on hypertension, by decreasing blood pressure values, improving cardiovascular
remodeling and oxidative stress.
Dietary astaxanthin inhibits
colitis and colitis-associated colon carcinogenesis
Our results suggest that the dietary AX suppresses the colitis and colitis-related colon
carcinogenesis in mice, partly through inhibition of the expression of inflammatory
cytokine and proliferation. Our findings suggest that AX is one of the candidates for
prevention of colitis and inflammation-associated colon carcinogenesis in humans.
Effects of Astaxanthin on Oxidative
Stress in Overweight and Obese Adults
This study revealed that supplemental ASX for 3?weeks improved oxidative stress biomarkers
by suppressing lipid peroxidation and stimulating the activity of the antioxidant defense
system.
High dose astaxanthin lowers blood
pressure and increases insulin sensitivity in rats
Accordingly, Asta beneficially affects both sucrose-induced elevations of BP and insulin
resistance at relatively high doses in SD. Also, Asta at higher doses lessens restraint
stress, whereas, captopril and pioglitazone did not at the doses examined, even though
they influenced the BP and glucose-insulin systems respectively.
