Source Naturals® Astaxanthin is a natural concentrate of marine algae Haematococcus pluvialis, which is cultivated in the warm waters of Hawaii. This powerful antioxidant has been found to be effective in protecting cell and mitochondrial membranes from oxidative stress, and enhancing ocular health and improving memory.241,242 Recent studies have indicated that astaxanthin is more powerful than its carotenoid cousin beta-carotene, at trapping singlet oxygen free radicals. Also astaxanthin ameliorates insulin resistance by mechanisms involving the increase of glucose uptake,243 and by modulating the level of circulating lipid metabolites and adiponectin. |
