Rising in popularity among medical experts, and lifestyle buffs, Astaxanthin is dubbed as the “King Of Carotenoids,” for being the strongest antioxidant derived naturally. In fact, Astaxanthin can rival against your average Vitamin C supplement. Say goodbye to unexpected colds and sudden flu attacks, and hello to a healthier, new you with this super-antioxidant, Astaxanthin!

As it gains momentum, Astaxanthin is beloved all for its holistic benefits for your body’s immunity. Take a look at what makes Astaxanthin so special.

  1. 6,000 times stronger than vitamin C

Nowadays, a runny nose or a scratchy throat can make us the most anxious and panicky. A sneezy “achooo!” in public spaces can make anyone feel unsafe and vulnerable to sickness. Fact: going outside may expose you to these dangerous invaders. Thus, a reliable protection is a must-have.

Having the highest antioxidant activity, Astaxanthin boosts immune system response and recovery 6,000 times stronger than Vitamin C and 100 times more than of Vitamin E. Astaxanthin supplements work as next level protection for the body, providing assurance from unwanted sickness. As wearing face masks and sanitizing with alcohol have become essential rituals today, so should taking Astaxanthin supplements daily

2. Helps fight muscle fatigue

For gym rats, muscles strain often after a strenuous workout routine. Ever wondered what causes our biceps to feel tired and painful? Our muscles produce lactic acids under stress as a coping mechanism, inducing fatigue and discomfort. This can be a killjoy for some especially once they’ve gained their winning drive in finishing the exercise.

With regular intake of Astaxanthin, your muscles would feel less sore. Astaxanthin blocks the buildup of lactic acids, helping your muscles to recover quicker and easier. This way, we're able to perform and endure more reps for each of our exercises. The next time we do weights, one might want to consider Astaxanthin as our new fitness buddy.

3. Supports eye health

Being in front of the screen is unavoidable these days. With the pandemic, closures of offices and integration of work-from-home setup have been rampant, forcing most people to be online 24/7—be it for work, scrolling through online shops or binge-watching a Netflix series. Without proper eye protection, this habit may damage eyesight in the long run. Astaxanthin is effective in the prevention and treatment of several ocular illnesses. From reducing eye strain caused by being too much on the screen, and protection against AMD or age-related macular degeneration, its nourishment is found to be also beneficial to eye health.
