Bios Astaxanthin 12 mg capsules, 105 ST

The natural carotenoid astaxanthin is extracted from the green algae Haematococcus pluvialis. In stressful situations such as a lack of food, high salt content in the water, strong UV radiation or extreme temperatures (heat, cold), this algae produces this valuable plant substance for its own protection. Astaxanthin has an exceptionally high antioxidant potential; for example, this colourant is around 1,000 times more effective against lipid peroxidation in the mitochondria than vitamin E and has 6,000 times more antioxidant potential than vitamin C. UV radiation from the sun puts a strain on the eye and is causally linked to the amount of defective DNA and a shorter lifespan of the cells. Interestingly, the structure of astaxanthin is very similar to that of the human eye pigments lutein and zeaxanthin, but has a significantly higher antioxidant power than these carotenoids. This pigment can cross the blood-retinal barrier of the brain unhindered and thus unfold its valuable properties directly in the eye. One factor in progressive visual impairment is the degeneration of photoreceptors in the eye. Long working hours at the computer also cause eye fatigue. A reduction in oxidative stress in the eye counteracts degenerative eye processes. Astaxanthin 4 mg Bios capsules also contain vitamin C and vitamin E. Vitamin C and vitamin E help to protect the cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin C contributes to a reduction in tiredness and fatigue.
