WHAT IS LIFESTREAM ASTAZAN™?
Lifestream AstaZan™ is a superior natural antioxidant containing an active component called Astaxanthin (pronounced as-ta-zan-thin). Lifestream AstaZan™ is a natural complex of carotenoids including Astaxanthin, beta-carotene and lutein. In this form, combined with Vitamin E, it is much more stable than the natural micro algae form and provides a more desirable group of carotenoids than any single dietary ingredient. Lifestream AstaZan™ is extracted very carefully from the most highly concentrated source in nature. Astaxanthin is the natural pigment that gives fish like salmon, the pink colour in their flesh. Over 600 different Carotenoids exist in nature. Animals and humans can’t make carotenoids but must obtain them from food. Carotenoids are the natural pigments which give fruits, vegetables and flowers yellow to deep red colour. The Carotenoids in plants ‘quench’ free radical molecules and prevent them from causing damage. Without these free radical quenchers, or antioxidants, plants could not survive
WHERE DOES IT COME FROM?
This natural renewable high-performance carotenoid extract is carefully produced and grown in natural conditions on the Kona Coast under the Hawaiian sun
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF LIFESTREAM ASTAZAN™?
*Helps protect the skin from sun damage
•Increases strength and endurance in athletes
•Crosses the blood-brain barrier which makes it available to the eye, brain and central nervous system to help prevent damage to eyes and the nervous system
•Provides significantly more antioxidant capacity than other carotenoids and antioxidants such as beta-carotene and Vitamin E
•Enhances the antioxidant actions of Vitamin E and Vitamin C and encourages the release of Vitamin A from the liver when needed
•Strengthens cells against free radical attack
•Inhibits lipid peroxidation at the cell level, thus protecting the cells
•Helps inhibit plaque formation, thus reducing risk of cardiovascular disease
•Assists in the support of neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s
•Reduces the number of abnormal cells in the liver
•Boosts the immune system (by increasing the number of antibody-producing cells)
•Reduces inflammation
•Protects cell and mitochondrial membranes from oxidative damage
•Protects the eyes and skin from UVA and UVB damage
WHY IS LIFESTREAM ASTAZAN™ CONSIDERED TO BE THE “ULTIMATE” ANTIOXIDANT?
Simply put, Lifestream AstaZan is a superior antioxidant with unique and powerful qualities. Astaxanthin has 100-500 times the antioxidant capacity of Vitamin E and 10 times the antioxidant capacity of beta-carotene. Many laboratory studies also indicate Astaxanthin works better than lutein, lycopene and tocotrienols. Lifestream AstaZan™ is a natural part of the food chain contains no organic solvents and is very carefully manufactured under ISO conditions
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF THE BLOOD-BRAIN BARRIER?
The blood-brain barrier is a very dense physical barrier that lets some materials into the brain and stops others. This prevents harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other substances from entering the brain/nervous system while allowing neurotransmitters and nutrients that nourish the brain to cross. Substances allowed to cross include nutrients, water, and fat-soluble molecules of a small size (Astaxanthin), oxygen and carbon dioxide
IS ASTAXANTHIN SAFE?
Studies demonstrate that astaxanthin is safe. There are no known side effects.
Astaxanthin has been a part of the natural food chain for thousands of years
SHOULD I REPLACE OTHER DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS WITH LIFESTREAM ASTAZAN?
Lifestream AstaZan™ enhances the action of Vitamin C and Vitamin E and increases the release of Vitamin A from the liver. Lifestream AstaZan™ compliments other dietary supplements but may replace your usual antioxidant supplement. Like all Lifestream products you will get the best results by using AstaZan™ with a healthy & balanced diet
