Astaxanthin: The Antioxidant 6,000 Times Stronger than Vitamin C!

   Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) has been proven to help older men regain their youthful vigor and optimism. Our clinic is proud to offer the most beneficial, safe, cutting-edge, and cost-effective TRT available.

But we don't stop with just testosterone replacement therapy. To ensure you receive the maximum benefit from our testosterone treatment we also recommend specific lifestyle changes: what foods to eat and what foods to avoid; several fitness routines, methods to reduce stress, and nutritional supplements like Astaxanthin.

Aging. No matter what the health problem is, if you dig deep enough, that one word is making the problem worse. From heart / cardiovascular disease and cancer to stroke, joint pain, mental fog, and fatigue...and countless other maladies...AGING DOES NOT HELP ANY SICKNESS IMPROVE...ZERO, ZIPPO, NADA.

This has, of course, been known for centuries. And it has been the cause of many ideas, searches, treatments, and theories to find a way to slow aging down, or even stop and reverse it.

From ancient alchemists' attempts at developing an "elixir of life" to confer eternal youth and longevity to Ponce de León's search for the elusive "Fountain of Youth" and countless other quests (some scientific and some far from it), the search has continued to this very day.

Regrettably, there is no "Fountain of Youth."

Most, if not all, of these efforts, have been in vain. "The Fountain of Youth" is seeming as elusive today as ever. Increasing Testosterone has its limits.

But there is science. In the past few decades, there have been several exciting breakthroughs that have shown great promise to finally gain a foothold in the battle against the hideous disease of aging.

One of these developments is a substance called Astaxanthin, which has been referred to as "one of the most powerful antioxidants ever discovered." Studies have shown Astaxanthin to be up to - it is in a class of its own compared to usual dietary supplements

  • 40 times stronger than beta-carotene
  • 100 times more potent than vitamin E
  • 800 times stronger than CoQ10
  • An astonishing 6,000 times more powerful than vitamin C!

Recently, Astaxanthin (pronounced "asta-ZAN-thin") and called ATX for short, took a huge step toward becoming a household word when it was prominently featured and endorsed by Dr. Mehmet Oz on his popular daily television show.

Dr. Oz gave Astaxanthin a ringing endorsement, going as far as saying that Astaxanthin is "the number one supplement you've never heard of that you should be taking."

And It's Not Just Dr. Oz

Scientists have spent decades researching natural methods of nutrition and supplements that can make a difference...a huge difference...in the life-and-death struggle against aging.

And as the results of more studies keep rolling in, Astaxanthin is withstanding their scrutiny and taking its place on the "all-star" anti-aging starting line-up.

Let's take a look at what Astaxanthin is, how it works, and why it is so effective.

What is Astaxanthin?

Astaxanthin is two words combined. The Greek word "Asta" means "star-like." Xanthin is Greek for yellow and describes the yellow, orange, and red-colored family of vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and red peppers.

Together they form the word astaxanthin, which is indeed a "star" nutrient that floods your body with benefit after benefit. Astaxanthin is a red pigment molecule found in some types of marine algae. When it is eaten by shrimp and lobsters, the dye turns its shells reddish.

singlet oxygenWhen eaten by fish like salmon and birds like flamingos, it is responsible for the spectacular red and pink beauty of these creatures. Astaxanthin functions as a natural sunscreen for marine plants.

Initially, researchers looked at how efficient ATX could be as a topical sunscreen because of its high ultraviolet light-absorbing properties.

However, they quickly discovered that Astaxanthin delivered several more benefits: anti-inflammatory protection, free-radical scavenging, and mitochondrial defense.

In fact, one researcher stated that ATX shows "demonstrable promise for slowing age-related functional decline." Here are some of the incredible benefits Astaxanthin can deliver; Astaxanthin can...

  • Rejuvenate the skin from within. Many people use all types of skin lotions, gels, and moisturizers to keep their skin glowing. This is a good start. However, the skin needs protection from within as well. ATX permeates deeply into all skin layers, including at the cellular level, not just the topical (outside) layer. This not only protects the skin from current but also future damage. It also can reverse years of accumulated damage as well. Astaxanthin has even been referred to as "an internal sunscreen," and when all the facts are in, that is indeed an accurate description.
  • Supercharge your immune system. Astaxanthin stimulates the growth of white blood cells and speeds up their activity. This means that your cancer and infection-fighting troops are in "fighting shape" and can crush invading cells attempting to wreak havoc by introducing all types of disease into your body. Astaxanthin also strengthens the immune system by neutralizing free radicals, thus preventing oxidative stress. It also helps control / regulate fatty acids in the body.
  • Cause your energy levels to skyrocket. Astaxanthin flows into all of the body's organs, including the heart. Once there, Astaxanthin increases mitochondrial energy delivery. The result? A robust, more efficiently pumping heart, and quicker muscle recovery from intense exercise.
  • Keep you sharp mentally. According to a study by the Home Instead Senior Care organization (the world's leading home health care provider for seniors), Americans fear Alzheimer's disease more than any other severe and life-endangering illness. Scientific studies have proven time and time again that the number one cause of cognitive decline is oxidative stress.

 

  • Astaxanthin has the rare ability to penetrate the blood-brain barrier. This allows it to fill up the brain and give iron-clad protection to your brain tissue from oxidative stress. Another bonus: due to this ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, Astaxanthin can reduce the risk of stroke.
  • Help restore youthful flexibility to your joints. Joint pain, aches, and discomforts are not an inevitable part of aging, regardless of what many believe. The key to preventing joint problems is keeping your cartilage in tip-top shape. The problem? As you age, free radicals attack your cartilage by causing oxidative stress, our old nemesis. Once again, Astaxanthin steps up to the plate and knocks these attackers out of the ballpark.
  • Improve Hair Growth
  • Protect your precious vision. Macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, eyestrain, nearsightedness, far-sightedness...you name the eye problem...all become more common as we age. Toxins, pollutants, sunlight, alcohol, and smoking all add up to take a toll on your good vision. Astaxanthin can cross the blood-retina barrier, which enables it to deliver protection to the fovea and cones of the eye, which are so vital to the health of your eyes as you age. Astaxanthin also shields your eyes from free radicals. ATX is closely related to the molecules lutein and zeaxanthin, which are two significant components of the human retina.

 

  • Astaxanthin protects retinal cells against oxidative stress and puts up a wall of defense that stops the growth of new blood vessels in retinas, which is a precursor of macular degeneration. Astaxanthin also restores retinal boundaries to normal in the eyes of glaucoma sufferers, which stops the cell death associated with this terrible affliction.
  • Protect your liver. Here again, Astaxanthin's ability to prevent oxidative stress helps this all-important and all-too-neglected organ to do its job of detoxification far more efficiently. Bacteria, dead red blood cells, viruses, and toxins are quickly removed, giving this overworked organ the break it deserves.

 

  • Keep your arteries clean as a whistle, and keep your cholesterol levels healthy. As a result of Astaxanthin's ability to reduce inflammation, the production of specific enzymes that destabilize plaque is reduced, which in turn lowers the chance that this plaque will rupture and block blood flow. Therefore, your risk of heart attack and stroke is dramatically reduced.

 

  • Also, a 2010 Jikei University study concluded that Astaxanthin raised "good" HDL cholesterol and reduced triglycerides. Most scientists believe that the ratio of "good" HDL cholesterol to "bad" LDL cholesterol is more significant than any other cholesterol number. Astaxanthin puts this ratio on your side.
  • Fight inflammation. Aging is a disease, and inflammation is at the core of it. Inflammation is considered to be a leading cause of serious illnesses such as cancer, heart attack, and diabetes. Astaxanthin is a potent anti-inflammatory substance that can attack these problems at its roots.
  • Boost testosterone. Astaxanthin blocks aromatase, which is the enzyme that transforms testosterone into estradiol, which is a type of the feminine enzyme estrogen. Estrogen is devastating to a man's body since it results in weight gain, moodiness, and gynecomastia (male breasts, aka "Bitch tits"). None of these developments are anything that a man wants or needs.

Dosage

The recommended daily dosage of Astaxanthin is 4 milligrams (mg). This amount is sufficient to obtain Astaxanthin's benefits. However, remember that anything less will probably not be nearly as useful. Good food sources for Astaxanthin are wild salmon, crab, shrimp, crawfish, lobster, red trout, carrots, red peppers, and other red-pigmented vegetables and fruits.

Safety

Astaxanthin is considered a GRAS (generally recognized as safe) substance by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This means that a chemical or substance added to food is considered safe by experts. However, some people should proceed cautiously with Astaxanthin supplementation.

If you are taking medication for hypertension (high blood pressure), high cholesterol, thyroid problems, asthma, osteoporosis, or for that matter, just about any other prescription drug, you must get the okay from your physician or healthcare provider.

This will make you aware of any possible interactions between your medicine and Astaxanthin. Also, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid supplementation with Astaxanthin.

There is no reported danger, but staying away from anything that could be passed to the baby or the fetus is highly recommended. But for most people, Astaxanthin is safe.

Which Form of Astaxanthin Should You Take?

Astaxanthin is made in two forms: natural and synthetic. When you take the natural form, you are getting the cleanest way. Some additives in the synthetic form are processed in a laboratory.

Some of the ingredients in the artificial structure may be used only as preservatives or to deepen the color. These are not added to enhance the product's health benefits.

So how do you know if the form of Astaxanthin is natural or not? Read the label. If you have trouble pronouncing most of the ingredients, and if you need a degree in chemistry to understand them, check for another brand.

An excellent way to ensure your Astaxanthin is natural is to look for the words "natural astaxanthin" on the bottle.

Also, make sure it is derived from the marine algae species H. Pluvialis. Synthetic versions of Astaxanthin may have less than half the potency of the real deal.

You know how destructive and debilitating aging can be.

Painful, stiff joints, mental fog, and confusion, formerly active people reduced to chronic fatigue and needing canes to shuffle around, muscle loss and weakness, lack of appetite, trouble getting and staying asleep, and the loss of independence and dignity.

It's ugly. It's revolting. It's tragic. And perhaps the saddest part of all...it does not have to be that way.

Knowledge and action are the keys to preventing aging from stealing the quality of your life: understanding of what to do and what not to do to stay healthy.

And taking action to do what's needed to fight the disease of aging. For sure, there are no certainties and no "silver bullets" or guarantees that you won't suffer from these problems.

But there are steps you can take to give yourself every chance in the battle against Father Time.

Supplementing with Astaxanthin is one of these actions that have been proven effective in this life-and-death struggle.

Remember, many antioxidants cannot penetrate the blood-brain barrier, and therefore are unable to provide comprehensive protection for all of your body's cells.

But Astaxanthin Can

What this means is this: Astaxanthin can gobble up free radicals in your eyes, brain, joints, bones, muscles, organs...throughout your entire body...in a manner that other antioxidants can't. Astaxanthin is the gift that just keeps on giving.

This is why ATX is referred to by many as "The Holy Grail" of antioxidants. Mother Nature has provided our bodies with the ability to weaken free radicals.

litterBut Mother Nature never envisioned a planet so full of toxins and pollutants like the one we are forced to live in today.

Faced with that grim reality, the free radical army can keep making breakthroughs at the expense of our continued good health.

Free radicals do damage in many ways. They destroy our cell's integrity and make us look much older than we are.

Many antioxidants can help turn the tide. But Astaxanthin is unique due to its unique ability to reach all parts of these damaged cells.

As mentioned earlier, Astaxanthin's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier can penetrate cells thoroughly and heal and strengthen the cells far more efficiently than most antioxidants.

You would be well-served to consider adding Astaxanthin to your life-extension, health-promoting program.
