Astaxanthin For Fitness

Although exercise is beneficial to our health in many ways, heavy exercise can lead to cellular damage due to the free radicals which are created when we exert our bodies.

Antioxidants can combat the free-radicals and this protects the body at a cellular level during and after bouts of heavy exercise. Athletes should focus on taking a strong antioxidant in the same way they focus on protein, carbohydrate and salt in their diet.

Astaxanthin has been proven in several independent studies to enhance metabolism, increase performance, aid recovery and also reduce the effect of minor injuries such as stresses and tears as well as more significant injuries due to its role as an anti-inflammatory.
