Abstract :
There is substantial evidence that most diseases associated with the brain are the result of oxidation and/or inflammation. Free radicals and singlet oxygen wreak havoc over time in our head, and the consequences, if left unchecked, manifest in such horrible diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease ,Parkinson’s disease Huntington’s disease,Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (Lou Gehrig’s disease),Senility, Injuries resulting from trauma,Inflammatory injuries and Other forms of age-related dementia. Recent research has further validated Astaxanthin’s ability to protect our central nervous system. This article reviews the current available scientific literature regarding the effect of astaxanthin from the algae Haematoccus pluvialis in Astashine capsules in neuro vascular protection.
