The skin is the largest organ of the body and is extremely complex; consisting of multiple layers each of which have unique and important functions. Natural astaxanthin is the most powerful antioxidant known to science, and has the ability to optimize the health and radiance of the skin by providing protection and support to all layers.

When looking to prevent or manage skin problems, most people believe that topical creams and treatments are the most effective products available. Products that are applied to the surface of the skin predominantly affect the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, and are limited in their ability to penetrate deeper into the skin.

Free radical damage is one of the main causes of premature skin ageing; resulting in fine lines, wrinkles, roughness, a loss of elasticity and sagging. Our skin is particularly vulnerable to free radical damage that is produced by various internal and external factors including air pollution, UV rays, stress and poor nutrition. Natural astaxanthin provides a natural defense network against the constant attack from free radicals, helping to protect and guard the skin - from the visible surface to the delicate deep layers where new skin is formed.

Natural astaxanthin is both a powerful antioxidant and a potent anti-inflammatory. Its unique molecular structure allows it to reside in the cell membrane and to protect both the inside and outside of cells from free radical attack. Research shows that natural astaxanthin taken as an oral supplement is active in each of the skin´s layers; providing protection from UV damage, minimizing fine lines and wrinkles, reducing the appearance of age spots, increasing total moisture content and improving elasticity in the skin by strengthening the collagen layer. Natural astaxanthin enhances the skin´s natural beauty and radiance from within and is the ultimate natural beauty supplement.

Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring pigment that gives the reddish pink color to marine organisms such as crabs, shrimp, and salmon. It is often called the King of Carotenoids because of its powerful antioxidant

potency. Astaxanthin also possesses a unique molecular structure that spans the cell membrane’s hydrophillic and hydrophobic layers,

®attracting and quenching free radicals. AstaREAL astaxanthin is derived from a wholly natural source, the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, and contains the same form of astaxanthin found in wild salmon.
