ASTAXANTHIN – a powerful antioxidant

Fish oil with omega-3 fatty acids present in Omesam isn’t the only thing from the ocean that can improve function in the human body.

Astaxanthin is a naturally-occurring carotenoid found in algae, shrimp, lobster, crab and salmon and gives salmon pinkish color.

Astaxanthin is stable antioxidant, unlike other antioxidants, such as beta carotene, zeaxanthin, vitamin E, C, D and selenium, astaxanthin never becomes pro-oxidant in the body.

Astaxanthin is 6000 times stronger than vitamin C, 800 times stronger than CoQ10, 550 times stronger than Green Tea Catechins and 75 times stronger than Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA).

An antioxidant, astaxanthin is linked to healthier skin, heart health, joint pain, and may even have a future in cancer treatment.
