ASTAXANTHIN capsules contain a high content of vitamin E, an antioxidant that works to protect from damage caused by free radicals, lutein and zeaxanthin, the only two carotenoids present in the eyes, which are highly delicate and vulnerable organs of the body. ASTAXANTIN by Bothanica Mineral protects and prevents vision problems such as cataracts and Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

HOW TO USE
Take 1 capsule daily.
Astaxanthin is fat soluble. To increase its absorption, it is best to ingest it along with some healthy fat like avocado, eggs, fatty fish or coconut.
HEALTH BENEFITS
Protection against aging
Astaxanthin is a natural antioxidant with the greatest ability to neutralize free radicals that attack and oxidize cells and that cause aging and the development of degenerative diseases.
IMPROVED SPORTS PERFORMANCE
It protects and accelerates the body's recovery time by fighting free radicals produced during exercise, reduces the production and storage of lactic acid that causes muscle pain and protects the mitochondria, responsible for energy production in the body.
COMBAT FATIGUE
Astaxanthin is considered the main reason salmon have the energy it takes to make their trips upstream each year. Natural forms of this antioxidant may also provide humans with increased stamina, increased strength and energy levels, as well as offering greater recovery from exercise.
STRENGTHENING THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
It provides protection and increases the number and activity of white blood cells, called lymphocytes, responsible for the body's immune response against invaders such as bacterial and fungal infections. It is also beneficial in regulating the proactive immune system, responsible for triggering allergic reactions.
PREVENTING AND COMBATING CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE
It acts in the fight and prevention of cardiovascular diseases, reducing blood pressure and preventing vascular accidents induced by hypertension.
Studies have found astaxanthin's ability to inhibit the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL cholesterol) and prevent it from becoming arteriogenic, helping to protect against atherosclerosis.
NERVOUS SYSTEM PROTECTION
One of the few antioxidants capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier, acting directly in the protection of brain tissue, preventing the oxidation of nervous system cells. It is able to improve cognitive health and act in the prevention of diseases such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's and ischemic brain injury.
Additionally, astaxanthin has been shown to promote the formation of new cells in the hippocampus, a brain region essential for long-term memory. Further investigations revealed four genes induced by astaxanthin supplementation, which were correlated with increased spatial memory.
EYE PROTECTION
Astaxanthin also crosses the blood-retinal barrier, which brings antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection to the eyes and reduces the risk of cataracts, macular degeneration and blindness.
SKIN PROTECTION
Astaxanthin acts as an internal skin protector, blocking UV rays and preventing damage and inflammation. Clinical studies also prove the efficiency in maintaining skin moisture, elasticity, smoothness and reduction of expression lines and wrinkles.
ANTI-INFLAMMATORY ACTION
Its anti-inflammatory action is proven in the gastrointestinal and vascular system, as well as in the eyes, kidneys and brain, being a powerful ally in the prevention of neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. Astaxanthin has natural anti-inflammatory properties, but unlike prescription pain relievers, there is no risk of addiction, heartburn, or gastrointestinal ulcers. Astaxanthin blocks inflammatory COX2 enzymes, while at the same time suppressing serum levels of inflammatory factors such as nitric oxide, interleukin 1B, prostaglandin E2, C-reactive protein (CRP), and TNF-alpha (tumor necrosis factor alpha) , decreasing pain and inflammation.
