Plantina Astaxanthin-eco: natural algal antioxidant
Synthetic astaxanthin is produced from petroleum and as such is not part of the food chain. Only one-quarter is chemically identical to the natural, active astaxanthin, as contained in Plantina Astaxanthin-eco. In an experiment, this natural astaxanthin turned out to be 20 times more active as an antioxidant than the synthetic astaxanthin. In addition, Plantina Astaxanthin-eco contains the other carotenoids beta-carotene, lutein and canthaxanthine, all of which act synergetically with astaxanthin.
