Carotenoids are yellow to reddish pigments naturally occurring in plants and certain microorganisms. They play an important role in energy transfer during photosynthesis. In addition, they protect these organisms from the harmful effects of sunlight. Astaxanthin, a very special carotenoid with a characteristic red color, is naturally produced by plankton, algae, and some plants, fungi, and bacteria. The highest concentration of astaxanthin is found in the green microalga Haematococcus pluvialis (which is also the source of Vitals' Astamax).
Through plankton and algae, astaxanthin enters the food chain and causes the pink-red pigment in aquatic animals such as salmon, trout, shrimp, crab, lobster, and crayfish, as well as some birds like the flamingo. For these animals, astaxanthin is a vitamin-like substance. Due to its special properties, astaxanthin has the ability to assume the optimal hydrophilic and hydrophobic position in the lipid bilayer of cell membranes and mitochondrial membranes.
Superior source and production method
The astaxanthin selected by Vitals is AstaREAL®, from the Swedish producer of the same name, AstaReal, the pioneer and expert in natural astaxanthin. AstaReal was the first in the world to develop and produce astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis. More than 40 human studies have now been conducted with AstaREAL®. The production method of producer AstaReal is unique and ensures pure, natural astaxanthin with the highest concentrations of the highest quality. AstaREAL® is not an extract but a 'whole food'. The astaxanthin-containing algae is harvested at the optimal moment and used entirely, unlike other (Hawaiian) production methods, where the algae are grown in open ponds and the astaxanthin has to be prematurely extracted from the algae to prevent contamination with unwanted microorganisms.
High dosage
Because research shows that higher dosages (6-12 mg per day) are often recommended, Astamax contains no less than 6 mg of astaxanthin per softgel capsule, supplemented with antioxidants vitamin C and vitamin E.
Claims
