Description
Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment which lends its vibrant red-orange colour to foods like krill, algae, salmon and lobster. Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that neutralises free radicals, helping protect our bodies against oxidative stress.
Astaxanthin has been shown to promote healthy skin by assisting collagen formation and protecting skin elastin from breakdown, thus Astaxanthin may improve skin firmness and elasticity and also maintain the skin’s integrity. Astaxanthin may also help to promote recovery post exercise and help to support endurance and stamina. Astaxanthin has also been shown to maintain cardiovascular health by supporting heart, artery, and blood capillary health and function. It also helps to maintain healthy blood fats and support healthy cholesterol levels. Astaxanthin may also help to support the health of the macula and the retina, and help to relieve eye discomfort, visual fatigue and eyestrain, providing benefits to eye health and function. Caruso’s Hawaiian Astaxanthin is naturally sourced from Red Marine Algae grown in Hawaii.
