Description
- PREMIUM SUPPLEMENT: Astaxanthin is a powerful marine-source antioxidant whose red-orange pigment gives wild salmon and krill their characteristic vivid hues. This supplement is the worlds first to deliver astaxanthin in a base of wild sockeye salmon oil. Each softgel contains up to 100 times more astaxanthin than wild salmon or krill oil. Product of USA.
- MARINE-SOURCE OMEGA-3s: Unlike plant-based omega-3s, seafood-source omega-3s contain long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (DHA and EPA) best known for supporting human health at the cellular level. Unlike standard fish oil supplements, this one contains natural triglyceride-form EPA and DHA for optimal absorption. The oil is extracted from wild Alaskan sockeye salmon within hours of catch and molecularly distilled to ensure optimal purity.
- NO UNNECESSARY INGREDIENTS: No artificial preservatives, colors, binders, or stearates. No dairy, starch, wheat, yeast, sugar, soy protein, gluten, or GMOs.
- CERTIFIED SUSTAINABLE: This product meets the international best practices for sustainable fisheries set forth by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). When you buy sustainable marine supplements, you support environmentally responsible fisheries and you protect the worlds oceans for future generations.
Astaxanthin (as-tuh-zan-thin) is the red-orange pigment that gives wild salmon its vivid hue. Vital Choice Astaxanthin is extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae using carbon dioxide ... a solvent-free process that's better for people and the environment. And ours is the world's first astaxanthin supplement to deliver this healthful marine-source antioxidant in a base of omega-3-rich wild Alaskan sockeye salmon oil. Our supplement is lab-tested to ensure potency, and compliance with U.S. and international standards for purity and safety. What is astaxanthin? Astaxanthin belongs to the family of carotenoid compounds known as xanthophylls, which includes lutein and zeaxanthin. Astaxanthin is produced by algae, which is consumed by tiny crustaceans such as krill. The red-orange-pink hues of salmon flesh, shrimp shells, and flamingo feathers comes from the algae-source astaxanthin in these animals' diets. Why take astaxanthin? Growing lab and clinical evidence suggests that astaxanthin offers unique health-promoting potential. In test tube experiments, astaxanthin exhibits greater antioxidant capacity than other carotenoids, vitamin E, or vitamin C. However, it's unlikely that astaxanthin exerts similarly strong direct antioxidant effects in people. Instead, astaxanthin appears to exert these effects* indirectly, via its influence on cellular gene "switches" (e.g., transcription factors): Support eye health, Support joint health, Support brain health, Support energy levels, Support immune function, Support cardiovascular health, Support skin health and protect skin against UV sunrays. Our supplement provides 4mg of astaxanthin per 350mg softgel. This is widely considered a daily "maintenance" dose to help support and promote optimal health. Most human studies that have detected measurable clinical benefits** from astaxanthin such as lowering blood triglycerides and improving cholesterol profiles involved daily doses of 6mg to 18mg.
