Natural Astaxanthin: Free Radical Defense, 60sg, (Nutrex Hawaii)
BioAstin natural astaxanthin is the latest buzz among supplement and sports nutrition experts.
First recognized for giving salmon and shrimp their red color, astaxanthin is now taking center stage in nutrition circles. A growing body of scientific research reveals that astaxanthin confers exceptionally powerful antioxidant protection to cells and has functional effects on muscle and nerve physiology.
A clinical trial with BioAstin showed a significant difference in the onset of knee soreness in athletes performing intense leg exercises. The placebo group reported increased knee soreness, while the group taking BioAstin experienced no increase. A second human clinical trial with BioAstin indicated increased resistance to sunburn. Both trials used a four milligram dosage.
BioAstin natural astaxanthin is a human dietary supplement with powerful antioxidant benefits. Cyanotech produces BioAstin from microalgae and it was the first source of astaxanthin for human nutrition that has been reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
In August 1999, BioAstin completed a review by the FDA without objection and was allowed to be sold in the United States as a human dietary supplement. A growing body of scientific literature demonstrates that natural astaxanthin surpasses many of the antioxidant benefits of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene and other carotenoids.
How is BioAstin produced?
We have grown premium Hawaiian Spirulina for over 16 years at our 80 acre Kona, Hawaii facility.
We produce BioAstin from another microalgae grown under rigorous quality control using our patent-pending closed culture system.
This algae is used to seed fifteen 500,000 gallon systems. Each batch is analyzed and scrutinized for quality prior to being extracted in oil for the final product. The final product is HPLC standardized for guaranteed potency.
RESEARCH DATA
BioAstin supplies an exceptionally powerful antioxidant called astaxanthin (Asta-zan-thin). Although similar to the better-known antioxidant beta-carotene, slight differences in the structure of astaxanthin cause radical differences in activity.
Astaxanthin is ten times stronger than beta carotene and up to 500 times stronger than vitamin E as an antioxidant. Unique aspects of the astaxanthin structure allow it to pass the "blood brain barrier", meaning it can deliver antioxidant benefits directly to the brain and central nervous system.
SUGGESTED USAGE
One capsule daily with a meal or one hour prior to exercising.

Natural Astaxanthin: Free Radical Defense, 60sg, (Nutrex Hawaii)
How It Works
Astaxanthin, the active component in BioAstin, appears to assist the muscle function by reducing free radical damage during heavy exercise, thus allowing the muscles to use oxygen more efficiently and recover quickly. Perhaps the most vigorous endurance feat in the animal world is the migration up raging rivers by salmon. Salmon accumulate astaxanthin in their muscles, which explains their red-orange color.
Scientists suspect this accumulation may be more than cosmetic, enhancing metabolism and allowing such an athletic undertaking. More clinical work is needed to establish the mechanisms of this fabulous product but you can start enjoying the effect immediately.
FAQ
What is "Astaxanthin"?
 All natural form complexed with fatty acid. Carotenoid fraction is 95% astaxanthin with the rest lutein, b-arotene and canthaxanthin. BioAstin supplies an exceptionally powerful antioxidant called astaxanthin (Asta-zan-thin). Although similar to the better-known antioxidant beta-carotene, slight differences in the structure of astaxanthin cause radical differences in activity.
Structural similarity to beta-carotene, but strong functional difference. Astaxanthin, the active component in BioAstin, appears to assist the muscle function by reducing free radical damage during heavy exercise, thus allowing the muscles to use oxygen more efficiently and recover quickly.
Astaxanthin is ten times stronger than beta carotene and up to 500 times stronger than vitamin E as an antioxidant. Unique aspects of the astaxanthin structure allow it to pass the "blood brain barrier", meaning it can deliver antioxidant benefits directly to the brain and central nervous system.
