Lamberts Astaxanthin 8 Mg With Vitamin E 30 Cap. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid, a natural wonder, and one of the most powerful antioxidants. This amazing carotenoid is closely related to other carotenoids like zeaxanthin and lutein. Microalgae create astaxanthin to protect themselves from stressful environmental conditions. During the summer, when the ponds begin to dry out, astaxanthin allows the microalgae to keep their DNA intact, ready to grow again when the next rain comes, even if that takes many years. This remarkable ability demonstrates astaxanthin's role as an excellent antioxidant. In fact, studies have shown that natural microalgae-derived astaxanthin is 500 times stronger than vitamin E and far more potent than other carotenoids. The algae we use are grown in a climate controlled environment, in a closed system in the Arava desert. The 3-month cultivation process mimics the accumulation of astaxanthin in nature and produces an exceptionally pure, high-quality microalgae compared to astaxanthin grown in outdoor ponds. The extraction process uses supercritical CO2 extraction technology that avoids excess heat and ensures a solvent-free product. It is more ecological to be because it is powered by solar panels and because they use their own water recycling plant. Two capsules provide a full 8 mg of active natural astaxanthin, a level comparable to published studies. In addition, natural vitamin E, which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. We use a natural material derived from freshwater green algae, Haematococcus pluvialis, in the natural 3S – 3'S form. Synthetic astaxanthin is Rs-3S or RS-R'S and although it is cheaper, it is not known whether it is active or safe. Natural sources of astaxanthin, such as algae, contain predominantly the 3S, 3'S form (Lorenz and Cysewski, 2000). Other organisms like shrimp and krill contain a mix of the different forms at different levels depending on the species and the food you ate to get the astaxanthin
