BrainMax Astaxanthin Complex, 60 vegetable capsules

Astaxanthin and vitamin E

Astaxanthin is a natural pigment from the carotenoid group that occurs in some microalgae and marine organisms. It is part of this dietary supplement due to its unique properties. Along with it, the product also contains vitamin E, which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. This vitamin is present here in the form of tocopherols, which are natural compounds commonly found in vegetable oils. Antioxidants like vitamin E play an important role in the body by helping to protect cells from the effects of free radicals, which are produced naturally in metabolism and by the external environment.

Natural blue light filter

Marigold is known for its rich content lutein and zeaxanthin. They are the only carotenoids that pass through the blood-retinal barrier (they reach the retina of the eye) and form macular pigment. The macula is responsible for the clarity, sharpness, and color of vision. They function as a biological filter against blue light. In addition, lutein also accumulates in the brain, at different stages of life. Marigold also has a great influence on the activity of the vascular, respiratory and digestive systems, the function of the liver, gallbladder, prostate and the balance of vaginal microflora.

Natural source of lycopene

Tomatoes are one of the richest natural sources of lycopene, an effective antioxidant that belongs to the carotenoids and gives them their typical red color. Standardized tomato extract ensures consistent amounts of this important substance, which is part of a balanced diet. The lycopene contained in this extract contributes to the normal functioning of the cardiovascular system and to the normal condition of the skin and the formation of collagen, which makes it a valuable part of dietary supplements for daily body care.

Astaxanthin under scientific scrutiny
