Contains a broad spectrum of antioxidants:
- Natural Astaxanthin – a carotenoid extracted from microalgae commonly found in the Stockholm archipelago
- Bilberry – a berry found in Swedish forests, rich in anthocyanins
- Vitamin C – a water-soluble vitamin
- Vitamin E – a fat-soluble vitamin
Astaxanthin:
Natural astaxanthin is a carotenoid sourced from the microalgae H. pluvialis, native to the Stockholm archipelago. Its efficacy is backed by over 60 human clinical trials (Stachowiak & Szulc, 2021).
- Astaxanthin is one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants (Nishida et al., 2007), and is abundant in microalgae common to the Stockholm archipelago.
- The antioxidant benefits of natural Astaxanthin:
4.9X more powerful than beta-carotene! (Nishida et al., 2007)
90X more powerful than synthetic Astaxanthin! (Régnier et al., 2015)
110X more powerful than Vitamin E! (Nishida et al., 2007)
800X more powerful than CoQ10! (Nishida et al., 2007)
6000X more powerful than Vitamin C! (Nishida et al., 2007)
- Astaxanthin protects the body’s cells from the inside out (Stachowiak & Szulc, 2021).
Bilberry extract:
Bilberries (wild blueberries) are abundant in the forests of Sweden. They are packed with healthy nutrients and contain 4X more antioxidants than cultivated blueberries (Burdulis et al., 2009).
- Bilberries are one of the richest sources of anthocyanins (Bornsek et al., 2012).
Vitamins C & E:
Vitamins C and E contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
