Some natural substances in plants and animals, however, are showing real promise in combating the effects of aging inside the human body. Studies show that astaxanthin, a powerful new antioxidant, can help prevent oxidative damage. Taken in tablet form, astaxanthin neutralizes free radical molecules in the body by attaching to them and de-activating them before they can harm the body. Researchers have demonstrated that astaxanthin is 100 to 500 times more effective in slowing damage in cell membranes than vitamin E, providing a stronger weapon in the battle against free radicals and the many age-related diseases associated with them. Astaxanthin is found in the natural, renewable micro-algae grown in ponds in Hawaii.
Consumers can find astaxanthin in health food stores and many leading chain drug stores.
