Astaxanthin, the nutrient that gives salmon its pink colour, has been found to be a potent antioxidant, with tests suggesting that it may have a free radical fighting capacity worth 500 times that of vitamin E. The carotenoid is produced by the Haematacoccus pluvialis algae when water supplies in its habitat dry up to protect itself against the effects of UV radiation. Research has shown it to have a similar structure to lutein and zeaxanthin, but there are indications that it has an even stronger antioxidant activity. New research also suggests that Astaxanthin, may also enhance the burning of fat during exercise and lead to improved muscle endurance. Astaxanthin is an exceptional antioxidant from the ocean and gives you a powerful story to share as you promote OAVE™, specifically OAVE Inside; beauty from the inside out.
This is pretty big news for OGI, the relatively new, but growinn company that uses the ocean as their source of ingredients for their growing product line. These guys are off to a quick start in 2008 and we are encouraged by what we see so far.
