Good pain relief. Fair price and no side effects.
Size: 30 Count (Pack of 1)
I take this for its ability to block interleukin 1b and interleukin 6 and cox 1 and 2 enzymes without side effects or harm to liver or kidneys.
This brand seems to be working well.
I tried the Hawaii brand BioAstin 90 caps for $48 and this brand seems to be about the same price per cap. I have not noticed any difference in quality.
Information:
Astaxanthin works as an anti-inflammatory through multiple pathways. The various mechanisms
of action for Astaxanthin as an anti-inflammatory have been demonstrated in several studies
(Lee, et al, 2003; Ohgami, et al, 2003; Choi, et al, 2008; Kishimoto, et al, 2010). This research
has consistently shown that Astaxanthin works on a variety of different causes of inflammation.
In fact, there is evidence that it works on six different inflammatory markers, but that it works in
a gentle, broad-spectrum manner. This is in distinct contrast to anti-inflammatory drugs such as
Celebrex® and Vioxx® as well as over-the-counter anti-inflammatories such as Non-Steroidal
Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs including Tylenol®, Motrin®, Alleve®, etc.) and aspirin, all
of which target a single inflammatory marker, but in an intense manner. Inflammatory markers
gently reduced by Astaxanthin include:
• Prostaglandin E-2
• Interleukin 1b
• Interleukin 6
• Tumor Necrosis Factor-A
• Nitric Oxide
et al, 2010)
• Cox 1 & 2 enzymes (Lee, et al, 2003; Ohgami, et al, 2003; Choi, et al, 2008; Kishimoto,
Natural Astaxanthin has never been reported to have any side effect or contraindication in
hundreds of medical research studies as well as over 15 years of commercial consumer use.
