AOR - HIGH DOSE ASTAXANTHIN
Astaxanthin is a unique carotenoid that offers exceptional protection to the cell membrane from lipid peroxidation.
Astaxanthin is a unique carotenoid compound found in abundance in marine environments, particularly in algae. Astaxanthin is what gives red algae its colour and subsequently salmon their pink flesh when they consume the algae. Astaxanthin is considered a far more powerful antioxidant than beta-carotene or vitamin E. Unlike most other antioxidants, astaxanthin is unique in that it does not turn into a free radical itself after quenching one, and can therefore quench numerous radicals in a row. This allows it to protect cell membrane lipids from free radical damage.
The ability of astaxanthin to reduce eye fatigue related to computer usage is well-established. It may also help reduce blood sugar and blood pressure, and may help reduce gastric pain and heartburn related to digestive upset. Several studies have also found astaxanthin to increase muscular endurance, improving sports performance.
Vsoftgels™ Astaxanthin is a unique and powerful antioxidant product with a range of additional benefits for the eyes, the heart and physical endurance. Its broad range of uses makes it a supplement that can be taken by almost anyone seeking to protect their body in our modern, visually intensive environment. Vsoftgels™ technology offers superior absorption of fat-soluble molecules such as astaxanthin in a gelatin-free, fully vegan softgel. Just one vegan softgel contains 10mg of astaxanthin, which is more than double the potency of other astaxanthin products on the market making it the perfect 1-per-day antioxidant powerhouse.
The antioxidant that does it all
- A pigment which absorbs UV light and protects marine plants from radiation

What is Astaxanthin?
Astaxanthin is a member of the xanthophyll subcategory of carotenoids - organic pigments that occur mainly in plants. Astaxanthin is found in abundance in marine environments, particularly among algae, and the pink and red colour of salmon, shrimp and lobster is attributable to the astaxanthin-rich diets of these animals. Astaxanthin has a unique molecular structure: its polar end groups have the distinct ability to attach themselves to both sides of the lipid bilayer that contains the cell membrane. From this entrenched position, astaxanthin inhibits the lipid peroxidation of the cell membrane (which is the ‘gatekeeper of the cell’ –controlling what comes in and out), by extension protecting the mitochondria and the rest of the cell from potentially damaging peroxidation. Astaxanthin can also quench free radicals by adding them to its structure rather than sacrificing an atom or electron, meaning that unlike most antioxidants, astaxanthin is far less likely to become a mild free radical in its own right after quenching one. This also allows astaxanthin to be more biologically active, enabling it to trap and quench more free radicals - and of a greater variety - than most other antioxidants.
How Antioxidants Protect Your Cells:
When a free radical enters your body, it is attracted to the cells that make up the different tissues of it just like a magnet to metal. It then bonds to parts of the cell, which causes it to deteriorate in a way similar to that which oxygen causes metal to rust. If the cell gets damaged enough, it dies. Worse yet, if the cell DNA is damaged and then the cell reproduces, it reproduces abnormally as a result. When this happens to our skin, we get wrinkles; when it happens to our oxygen carrying blood vessels, we get hardening of the arteries; when it happens to our joints, we get arthritis; in some people.
Antioxidants work by bonding with the free radical before it can bond to the cells of your body, thus neutralizing it. This now harmless substance is then deconstructed or merely excreted.
