Natural Astaxanthin is the latest buzz among supplement and sports nutrition experts.

BioAstin natural astaxanthin is a human dietary supplement with powerful antioxidant benefits. Cyanotech produces BioAstin from microalgae and it was the first source of astaxanthin for human nutrition that has been reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

In August 1999, BioAstin™ completed a review by the FDA without objection and was allowed to be sold in the United States as a human dietary supplement. A growing body of scientific literature demonstrates that natural astaxanthin surpasses many of the antioxidant benefits of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene and other carotenoids.

Research has also shown that natural astaxanthin has up to 550 times the antioxidant activity of vitamin E and 10 times the antioxidant activity of beta-carotene.

HOW DOES BIO ASTIN WORK? Astaxanthin, the active component in BioAstin, appears to assist muscle function by reducing free radical damage during heavy exercise, thus allowing the muscles to use oxygen more efficiently and recover quickly. Perhaps the most vigorous endurance feat in the animal world is the migration of up raging rivers by salmon. Salmon accumulate astaxanthin in their muscles, which explains their red-orange color. Scientists suspect this accumulation may be more than cosmetic, enhancing metabolism and allowing such an athletic undertaking. More clinical work is needed to establish the mechanisms of this fabulous product but you can start enjoying the effects immediately.
