Descrição
Astaxanthin 5mg is a powerful free radical neutralizer.
The astaxanthin used by Solgar comes from Haematococcus pluvialis, an algae that grows on the Hawaiian coast.
As a xanthophyll carotenoid, it does not convert to vitamin A. However, it has enhanced antioxidant properties due to its polar structure (water and fat soluble), making it a very versatile antioxidant.
It has antioxidant properties 10 times greater than beta-carotene and between 80 and 550 times greater than vitamin E, effectively protecting against free radical damage, acting in terms of cellular protection, the visual system, cardiovascular system, nervous functions, and skin. This capacity is particularly interesting at the level of the central nervous system. In terms of the visual system, due to its protection against free radicals, it helps prevent problems associated with age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.
Ultraviolet rays, responsible for the production of free radicals, damage collagen and DNA, resulting in the premature formation of wrinkles. One of the properties of astaxanthin is that it offers strong protection against these types of rays, protecting the skin.
Furthermore, it improves intercommunication and cellular homeostasis, acts beneficially at the level of cell membranes, and consequently, maintains cell integrity.
Due to its antioxidant potential, it prevents oxidation, being considered a protective factor for the cardiovascular system. Preliminary studies indicate that astaxanthin has the ability to reduce LDL cholesterol and increase HDL cholesterol levels. It even appears to help reduce blood pressure, possibly due to the influence of nitric acid, which acts as a mild muscle relaxant.
It inhibits 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme responsible for transforming DHT (dihydrotestosterone) into testosterone, and is considered a good support for the prostate, since high levels of DHT are associated with its growth.
It is also associated with improved sperm mobility and, as such, contributes to increased fertility in cases of male infertility.
Reuses and reinforces the antioxidant potential of vitamins E, C, lutein, beta-carotene and glutathione.
Free of sugar, salt, starch, yeast, wheat, soy, gluten and dairy.
Formulated without the use of preservatives, artificial colors or flavors.
Solgar is a brand whose philosophy is to promote well-being. It produces supplements with the strictest production and quality control standards. Furthermore, it carefully selects its raw materials and does not use preservatives, flavor enhancers, or artificial colors. -
