Lamberts Astaxanthin 8mg 30caps Astaxanthin is a carotenoid, making it one of the most powerful plant antioxidants. It works synergistically with other carotenoids, especially zeaxanthin and lutein. In this specific formulation , the astaxanthin used is 100% natural , derived from a freshwater green algae called Haematococcus pluvialis. The algae we use in the preparation of this specific preparation are cultivated in a climate-controlled environment in the Arava Desert . The 3-month cultivation process mimics the accumulation of astaxanthin in nature, and leads to the preparation of an extremely pure and high-quality algae. The astaxanthin extraction process that follows the cultivation of the algae uses supercritical CO2 extraction technology, which is environmentally friendly and ensures the absence of chemical impurities in the final product. The astaxanthin produced by this method is in the natural 3S – 3S form. In contrast to the natural astaxanthin we use in this formulation, the synthetic astaxanthin of competing formulations has the Rs-3S or RS-RS structure. The difference in chemical structure between natural and synthetic astaxanthin makes the biological activity of synthetic astaxanthin questionable. Two capsules of Lamberts Astaxanthin provide 8mg of natural and biologically active astaxanthin, a level that is comparable to that used in published clinical studies. In addition, it provides 24mg of natural vitamin E, which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress*.
