Nutrients you may not have heard of, but your body wants and needs.
Astaxanthin is a potent, lipid-soluble carotenoid antioxidant that helps neutralize free radicals. It accumulates in the membrane of the cell and the mitochondria where it can provide key antioxidant support for the cell and all its organelles. Astaxanthin has the highly beneficial and unique property that it can quench free radicals by accepting or donating electrons without itself being destroyed or becoming pro-oxidant.
Astaxanthin helps multiple organ systems, including the cardiovascular system, the eyes and skin and is able to cross the blood-brain barrier to support brain function. It decreases eye fatigue, and increases memory. Your cardiovascular system loves healthy fats (EPA/DHA). Some comes from krill, but I prefer the algae source, which is where the krill get it.
It is 6000 times more potent than Vitamin C, also considered a longevity nutrient.
Zeaxanthin (which is usually paired with lutein) are pigments, carotenoids, which make up the retina and the optic nerve, which are extensions of our brain. So when you look into someone’s eyes, you are looking at a part of their brain.
Supplementing with these enhances cognitive function (your brain) by improving brain blood flow. This is successful even if started late in life. It can protect against macular degeneration, cancer, cardiovascular disease and neurodegenerative disorders.
These supplements increase blood flow to areas of the brain vital to memory and cognition. They produce a “brain maintenance effect” by shielding against the impact on cognitive performance and they increase brain blood flow in areas that support our thinking. They increase executive functioning (prioritizing and decision making) and increase processing speed. They also have a powerful effect on brain significantly reducing psychological stress and cortisol levels (decreased stress response) while improving emotional and physical health. This is partly due to their ability to maintain the white matter of the brain, which are long cables in the brain that connect brain legions and deteriorate with age.
Your doctors at Maximum Health Clinic do extensive research into supplements and search formulas that have multiple benefits. So you take Astaxanthin by itself or you can take an eye or brain supplement that works synergistically and includes these. It is more effective to take a supplement with a harmonious global effect on your body than taking each separately. Also much cheaper and a lot less pills to swallow.
