Astaxanthin is perhaps the very best nutrient for anyone over the age of 40 to take on a daily basis.
The clinically validated benefits of Natural Astaxanthin in areas that most concern people as they age are quite comprehensive; practically every concern for people approaching middle age and beyond is at least to some extent addressed by this single supplement: Cardiovascular health, eye & brain health, skin health & UV protection, immunity, energy & strength levels, aches & pains, cellular health—research indicates that Natural Astaxanthin addresses all of these and more.
It is our opinion that every person over the age of 40 should be supplementing with at least 4mg of Natural Astaxanthin every day. And even people under the age of 40 should consider Astaxanthin as a great preventive supplement.
At the very heart of Astaxanthin’s benefits against aging are its foundational properties of being the world’s strongest and highest quality natural antioxidant and being a safe and natural, broad spectrum anti-inflammatory. As a result of these attributes, Astaxanthin has demonstrated the ability to protect our cells and the DNA within our cells from the onslaughts of oxidation and inflammation. In fact, these properties are the primary mechanisms of action from which most
of Astaxanthin’s varied health benefits emanate.
In order to fully understand Astaxanthin’s benefits against aging, we will first present related research that shows anti-aging properties in each of the categories mentioned above. This will focus on human research; however, in a few cases we will cite relevant pre-clinical research (which will be limited to a small handful of studies).
Then we will look at research specific to Astaxanthin’s ability to protect vital parts of our cells such as DNA and the mitochondria.
Lastly, we will round out by examining Astaxanthin’s antioxidant and anti-inflammatory characteristics that further demonstrate its ability to protect the cells in our bodies.
There have been approximately one hundred human clinical trials showing a variety of health benefits for Natural Astaxanthin. Most of these areas of research are directly related to concerns that people face in middle age and beyond. While a thorough review of all this research is not possible within the confines of this blog, we will examine some of the most relevant areas of research and delve into the most exciting research within each area in a series of blog posts, so stay engaged!
