MUST-KNOW EVOLVING KNOWLEDGE ABOUT ASTAXANTHIN’S AMAZING ANTIOXIDANT PROPERTIES AND ITS NEUTRALIZATION OF SYSTEMATIC FREE RADICALS THAT REDUCE INFLAMMATION AND METABOLIC STRESS THROUGHOUT THE BODY, THE UNDERLYING CAUSES OF CANCER AND CHRONIC DISEASE.
What is Astaxanthin (ASX) and what does it do?
ASX, a liposoluble carotenoid (needs digestive fats, not water, to dissolve), is a product of the haematococcus pluvialis, naturally synthesized by a variety of microalgae. It’s seen as a reddish hue to redfish and shellfish flesh that feed on ASX-producing microorganisms. We consume the microalgae when eating shrimp, krill, trout, and wild salmon. Due to its strong antioxidant properties, natural ASX is the “king” of antioxidants, more powerful than vitamin C, vitamin E, and β-carotene. NIH reports ASX is up to 100 times more significant than vitamin E against lipid peroxidation.
ASX research shows that it helps reduce the negative effects of aging by neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) within the body’s cells, reducing oxidative damage to metabolic systems. ASX is an antioxidant and anti-cancer agent that prevents cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and stimulates the immune system. The anti-aging role of ASX has been attributed to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, preventing age-related muscle deterioration, and improving energy generation in the mitochondria. ASX can help eliminate free radicals produced during exercise and aerobic metabolism in muscles. It can also help boost immunity, resist fatigue, and delay aging. ASX is now a common ingredient in supplements to boost ocular health. For a deep dive about all benefits, go to https://www.mdpi.com/1902180
Yours sincerely had been taking ASX as an ingredient in supplements to promote healthy vision but did not understand the far-reaching significant holistic and remedial other benefits of ASX until watching this
amazing YouTube video and hearing the testimony of a very knowledgeable bio-chemical scientist/engineer, Samuel Shepherd. You MUST take the time to watch this video to grasp the significance of this subject matter relative to your health:
NOTE: Prof. Shepherd, at marker 27:40, refers to the High Sensitivity C Reactive Protein (HSCRP) blood test that measures chronic inflammatory disease conditions in the body. When measuring greater than three milligrams, you are in line to develop chronic disease. Doctors are not able to prescribe a drug to treat the inflammation itself. There is no treatment option in medical protocols. The goal then becomes reduction of inflammation to under three milligrams by some other means not relying on medical protocols.
There is no known alternative to ASX to accomplish this. ASX directly penetrates bodily cells to boost Glutathione, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and catalase, the body’s primary endogenous antioxidant enzymes and molecules that defend cells against oxidative stress. They work synergistically to neutralize harmful reactive oxygen species (ROS)—specifically free radicals like superoxide and hydrogen peroxide—converting them into harmless molecules like water and oxygen.
Prof. Shepherd’s website, www.valaster.net directs viewers to www.walkinlab.com where you can schedule an appointment for a “C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Blood Test, Quantitative.” Its Labs and affiliate labs can be found near you through the site’s lab locator tool.
What are the best ASX brands?
Purity of microalga haematococcus pluvialis – it’s source, handling, and processing are particularly important. Thus, your purchase should come from a trusted supplement company, third party tested and verified safe. Although there are multiple labels to choose from, there are only a few manufacturers and suppliers of this relatively rare product.
AI reports the best brands are the following:
For ocular health, yours sincerely went to this product:
This Life Extension product dosage is six mgs and is labeled for “ocular support” but all AST supplements have the advantage (unlike many other supplements) of crossing the blood brain barrier to benefit brain and eye health. The ASX manufacturer could not be verified for this distributor.
This Double Wood product dosage is twelve mgs. It is manufactured by AstraReal Co. utilizing a proprietary closed-indoor cultivation system to produce high-quality astaxanthin from haematococcus pluvialis algae. Main facilities are in Moses Lake, Washington.
Another good producer is Algae Health Sciences, Inc. occupying a 160-acre state-of-the-art farm in Irvine, CA. Its website offers a multitude of great medical research papers.
NOTE:
Using PreserVision AREDS 3, yours sincerely pairs ASX intake with this product’s Zeaxanthin dosage, 2 mgs daily, focusing on ocular health. ASX nourishes the eye anterior (front) and Zeaxanthin (in this product) nourishes the eye posterior (rear). This supplement’s new third generation product contains numerous other eye health supplements as well.
What’s ASX’s indicated dosage?
Dosage recommendations vary between four and twenty-four mgs. Muscle/strength building regimens will require the higher dosage. ASX is retained in bodily tissues and muscles as is magnesium and vitamin D, but unlike those supplement overdosages, an over-dosage of ASX does not create life threatening circumstances. Like excess K2, too much ASX will be signaled by stomach upset. Reasonable recommended dosages vary between four and twelve mgs.
For your health and well-being,
