To protect cells from oxidative stress: High dose astaxanthin capsules

Science-Backed

Every day, the human body is exposed to so-called "free radicals", which can be caused by environmental influences: among others, by UV radiation when sunbathing, by car and industrial exhaust fumes, by smoking and by substances produced during grilling or frying.

Free radicals are actually natural components of the body. However, they can have negative effects if external influences cause larger quantities of them than the body can handle. This is called oxidative stress, which is one factor associated with many signs of aging - from aging skin to declining muscle strength to poorer memory.

Astaxanthin is a natural antioxidant

Antioxidants help the body to process oxidative stress. As a carotenoid, astaxanthin is an antioxidant that can help the body render free radicals harmless. Studies have shown that natural astaxanthin is actually one of the most powerful antioxidants available:

• It is one of the few antioxidants that reach all the cells of the body.
• It coats the entire cell membrane and protects the cells from free radicals on the outside and on the inside.
• It is a pure antioxidant and never becomes a free radical or a pro-oxidant itself.
• It provides a long-term effect as it is stored in the body.

Astaxanthin can cross both the blood-brain barrier and the blood-retinal barrier. This enables it to reach the brain, the nerves of the central nervous system and the retina of the eye – where it can act as an antioxidant to help the body neutralize free radicals.

The blood rain algae: Survival expert thanks to astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is produced by the blood rain algae (Haematococcus pluvialis) when it is under stress. This algae then sheds its flagella and develops a thick cell wall as well as the pigment astaxanthin to protect itself.

For example, the blood rain alga can survive up to 40 years without water. This amazing fact has led to a more detailed study of the dye astaxanthin. Result: Astaxanthin is a carotenoid 10 times more powerful than the well-known beta-carotene.

Large amounts of the blood rain algae – and thus a lot of astaxanthin – are consumed by small crabs and shrimps, among others. These in turn are food for salmon, which travel thousands of kilometers upstream, over rapids and often even small waterfalls on their way to their spawning grounds. According to scientists, they may have the energy required for this effort thanks to an astaxanthin-rich diet.

Licaps guarantee quality, stability and freshness

We now offer Astaxanthin Royal in Licaps. Licaps is a patented technology for encapsulating liquid vital substances, such as astaxanthin oil.

Licaps are 100% vegetable and are made from cellulose without the use of preservatives or solvents. Licaps have an absolutely airtight surface, which ensures that Astaxanthin Royal Licaps remain completely odor-free and stable even during prolonged storage.

In Licaps, the astaxanthin oil is 100% protected from oxidation, as the two halves of the capsule are completely sealed together. Thus, no oxygen that could impair its quality comes into contact with the astaxanthin.

The nitrogen bubble in the Licaps additionally ensures that the astaxanthin does not oxidize and thus lose its potency. Astaxanthin Royal Licaps are packaged in brown glass bottles to effectively protect the capsules from light exposure and humidity.

For whom are Astaxanthin Royal 6mg capsules particularly suitable?

• Everyone with a stressful everyday life
• Everyone exposed to great physical and mental challenges
• Everyone who is feeling tired and dull
• Everyone who wants to support their cardiovascular system
• Everyone who is worried about getting older
• Everyone who wants a nutritional supplement that is easy to dose
• Everyone whose lifestyle contributes to the formation of free radicals due to intense exercise, smoking, alcohol consumption, stress or UV radiation.  

Astaxanthin and physical performance 

Increased release of free radicals can also result from physically demanding exercise: intense workouts, swimming, running, weight lifting, etc. The so generated oxidative stress can cause fatigue, exhaustion and muscle soreness during and after exercise. 

In a 2005 study*, scientists found that combining astaxanthin supplementation with other measures – getting enough sleep, eating iron-rich foods or staying hydrated – can reduce exercise fatigue.

Does astaxanthin have side effects?  

Astaxanthin Royal is a natural nutritional supplement. No side effects were observed in any astaxanthin study. There are also no interactions or allergic reactions. Natural astaxanthin is safe and has no side effects.
