Astaxanthin - Nature Cures®

Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants known to man. It is 6,000 times stronger than vitamin C, 800 times stronger than coenzyme Q10, 550 times stronger than green tea catechins and 75 times stronger than alpha-lipoic acid.

It is the pigment that gives the red and pink colour to fresh water and ocean fish. Inflammation is associated with type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease, obesity, Parkinson’s disease and rheumatoid arthritis and many other chronic illnesses including cancer. Astaxanthin can reduce inflammation and thus protect from and treat these disorders.

This potent antioxidant has also been found to reduce symptoms of acid reflux in patients particularly in those with pronounced Helicobacter pylori infection.
