Abstract :

Astaxanthinis a naturally occurring carotenoid which is derived from the microalgaeHaematococcuspluvialis being the most powerful antioxidant known to science, it alsohas potent anti-inflammatory properties. Natural astaxanthin´s distinct advantage in comparison toother antioxidants is its ability to span the entire lipidbilayer of the cell membrane, thus providing superiorprotection from the inside out. Natural astaxanthinhas a strong ability to both balance and strengthenthe immune system.. L-carnitine in Astashine silver increases the proliferative responses of human lymphocyte following mitogenic stimulation and increase polymorph nuclear chemotaxis. Furthermore, L-carnitine, even at minimal concentrations, neutralizes the lipid induced immunosuppression. This article reviews the current available scientific literature regarding the effect of astaxanthin from the algae Haematoccuspluvialis & L-Carnitine in Astashine silver as a natural immune booster.
