Heart-Healthy AstaReal® Astaxanthin

Pump it Up with Dietary Antioxidant Support

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading cause of death worldwide, and has affected 121.5 million people in the USA in 2016. By 2035, more than 45% of the U.S. population is projected to develop CVD, which means that heart-healthy choices are a top priority for a growing number of consumers. The efficiency of the heart muscle gradually declines over the course of a lifetime, as endogenous antioxidant capacity decreases, and free radicals accumulate. The excess free radicals erode the flexibility of blood vessels, and oxidize circulating blood lipids, which contributes to the build up of atherosclerotic plaques.
AstaReal® Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant derived from microalgae. Astaxanthin preferentially localizes in mitochondria, where cellular energy is produced to power the heart and other tissues. Astaxanthin deposits in mitochondria, where it is able to neutralize free radical byproducts made by mitochondria, and support cardiovascular health.
