This complex consists of a minimum of 850 micrograms of astaxanthin, as well as lesser amounts of lutein, beta carotene and other cartenoids.

Source Naturals ASTAXANTHIN is a natural concentrate of marine algae Haematococcus pluvialis, which is cultivated in the warm waters of Hawaii. This powerful antioxidant has been found to be effective in protecting cell and mitochondrial membranes from oxidative stress. Astaxanthin in comparison to various other nutrients:

• At least 10 times more effective as an antioxidant than beta-carotene.

• 100 to 500 times more effective in inhibiting lipid peroxidation as an antioxidant than vitamin E.

• Has greater anti-inflammatory capability than vitamin E.

• Has almost four times the antioxidant capacity of lutein.

• Is more stable in scavenging and quenching free radicals than beta-carotene, canthaxanthin or zeaxanthin.

• Is most potent in enhancing T1 and T2 helper cells and IgM and IgG (secondary immunity) production.

• Is more effective than lycopene and lutein in enhancing liver microsome detoxification activity (in which enzymes metabolize drugs).

• Enhances the actions of vitamins C and E in the body.

• Enhances the release of retinal (vitamin A) from the liver when needed.

Some testimonials for ASTAXANTHIN from La Haye's:

Having suffered with ankylosing spondylitis for 2 years, I began taking La Haye’s ASTAXANTHIN 9-10 months ago. While I still take my prescription medication, I have been able to reduce it by 25% and the inflammation in my body is down to ¼ - 1/3 what it was. Because of this my doctor wanted information on ASTAXANTHIN and I directed him to your web site. I personally believe your ASTAXANTHIN product has helped me.

I have been taking 3 ASTAXANTHIN softgels a day for the last two months and while my right eye is still afflicted with macular degeneration, my peripheral vision has improved a lot. The same disease was entering my left eye but has now stopped. In fact, I just got my driver’s license renewed and can read again. This is a real fine product you have and I want to thank you for improving my vision."

"As you know, I suffer with cataracts and beginning glaucoma. After two appointments with my eye doctor, my pressure is holding at 12/14 down from 24/27. I do know that the pain in my left eye has really diminished since I started taking your ASTAXANTHIN. It didn't happen right away but like today, I really know it doesn't hurt any more. Amazing!""

After suffering a back injury (badly herniated disc) several years ago and undergoing disc surgery, I had not thought I would ever again be able to pursue my varied athletic interests at a pre-injury level. However, since taking the ASTAXANTHIN, I have experienced a very noticeable increase in both strength and endurance, with very little back discomfort… Again, thank you for giving me the opportunity to try ASTAXANTHIN. I fully intend to keep using it and telling others of its benefits."

My wife, Helen, a 49-year-old MS patient of 14 years began taking 4 mg per day immediately upon arrival of the astaxanthin you sent. I'm happy to report that she definitely noticed more energy within days after starting on the astaxanthin. Furthermore, the daily incidents of left-eye blurring were also diminished. The benefits seemed to last for the duration of her little "trial." Now that she’s finished using the samples, she urged me to request another sample to retest her remarkable results! We remain most grateful."

I thought you'd like to know of the progress both my husband and I have made since we started taking ASTAXANTHIN. I'm 64 years old and have Fuchs Dystrophy in my left eye which has now developed a cataract. Both conditions have stabilized since taking ASTAXANTHIN. My husband is 84 years old with Parkinson’s and an undiagnosed worsening visual field test. Since taking ASTAXANTHIN his right visual field has improved and his left has stabilized. We've been married for 8 years and there has never been an improvement before. Just wanted to say thanks for such a fine product.
