Astavita Astaxanthin has Gone Green

July 23, 2008 - PRLog -- Burlington, NJ - Astavita is thrilled to announce their first completely vegetarian product in their Astavita product line. Astaxanthin, a superior carotenoid antioxidant made with patented AstaREAL®, is now available in a vegetarian capsule suitable for vegetarians. “We have had such a demand for this product. We actually had people on a waiting list for its release. Since it has become available on our website it has really gained popularity and numerous people are thanking us for making this product available. We try very hard to keep up with what our consumers feel is important and being able to offer them supplements for their individual lifestyles brings us great joy,” said Shannon Bassett, client relations for Astavita.
“Not all astaxanthin products are the same. AstaREAL Astaxanthin not only comes from the best source of astaxanthin in the world, it is also ultra-pure and highly potent due to our patented enclosed BioDome™ system,” states Yasuko Kuroda, vice president of Astavita. “We believe the entire Astavita line will offer the best astaxanthin available on the market, helping consumers with a variety of health concerns including antioxidant protection, skin care, muscular endurance and eye, joint and heart health.”
Astavita astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid pigment harvested from the freshwater micro algae Haematococcus pluvialis, which contains the highest concentration of astaxanthin in the world.  Astaxanthin helps guard against the effects of excessive free radicals and is active in many parts of the body, particularly in skeletal and smooth muscles and the ciliary body in the eyes.
'I thought Astavita astaxanthin was the perfect supplement as it was. Nothing has had an impact on my fitness like it has, but there was one tiny glitch...I am a vegan and the caps were not. But now, with the new veggie caps, Astavita perfectly suits my antioxidant and training needs, and my commitment to compassionate living.'  - Christina Pirello Emmy Award-winning host of Christina Cooks
All Astavita products have the AstaREAL® advantage, containing astaxanthin grown in a patented enclosed BioDome™ system in Maui, Hawaii, or photo bioreactors in Gustavsberg, Sweden. This patented process protects algae from environmental pollutants, assuring absolute purity, and provides a climate-controlled system that regulates light, temperature and water to get the highest and most consistent astaxathin yield possible.
   Clinical Studies on the health benefits of natural astaxanthin have indicated an increase in physical endurance, muscle recovery time, reduction of inflammation and eye fatigue, cardiovascular, diabetic support and skin health.  Eye fatigue, is an area of study (nine human clinicals) that is very closely related to physical stamina because it is affected by the strain on the ciliary body which is a muscle.  Many of these studies were done on workers with extended computer use and the results were a significant improvement in eye fatigue.
