ASTA contains natural astaxanthin from a specie of algae called hematococus pluvialis. It is a dietary supplement with powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. Astaxanthin has been proven to combat inflammation in several human clinical studies involving people with:

• Rheumatoid arthritis

• Carpal tunnel syndrome

• Joint and muscle soreness after exercise

  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. Human and animal studies have shown that natural astaxanthin can: 

• Protect the skin from the damaging effects of 

• ultraviolet radiation

• Enhance the immune system

• Enhance energy metabolism

An Extraordinarily Powerful Antioxidant

  Comparison studies of Astaxanthin have shown over 550 times greater antioxidant activity that tocopherol and eleven times higher activity than beta-carotene (measured in terms of singlet oxygen quenching). And because the activity advantage over other antioxidants is particularly pronounced at lower concentrations, ASTA is an excellent choice in formulas where space is at a premium. Even low amounts such as 0.5mg – 1.0mg provide a significant boost to antioxidant and multivitamin formulas. ​
