Astaxanthin does much more than create a pleasing color for the eye it’s a major anti-ager for the body!

Astaxanthin reduces DNA damage, absorbs UVB rays, boosts immune function and eye health and improves endurance, says Dr. Joseph Mercola. Our bodies can’t manufacture astaxanthin, but once we acquire this powerful carotenoid through diet or supplements, it provides remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection a double dose of anti-aging power.

According to Dr. Nicolas Perricone, astaxanthin is 100 times stronger than beta carotene and vitamin E combined.

Want to get your dose of this potent antioxidant? Salmon, shrimp and lobster are dietary sources. And the supplement form of astaxanthin, produced from microalgae, is another great choice. There’s a whole new reason to think pink!
