\"super<\/a>What are Antioxidants? How do they relate to and affect the body? The National Cancer Institute<\/a> says,<\/p>\n

“Antioxidants are substances that may protect cells from the damage caused by unstable molecules known as free radicals. Free radical damage may lead to cancer. Antioxidants interact with and stabilize free radicals and may prevent some of the damage free radicals might otherwise cause… antioxidants may slow or possibly prevent the development of cancer.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Free radicals are all around us\u2014in the water we drink and the air we breathe\u2014and the damage they cause is tremendous. Over 60 diseases have been linked to these highly reactive molecules that bombard the cell walls and leave the body prone to cancer, heart disease, arthritis, macular degeneration and to the many evidences of aging\u2014from wrinkles to dementia. Research has proven that nutrients known as antioxidants ward off the effects of free radicals, thereby helping to prevent cell and tissue damage.<\/p>\n

\"astaxanthin\"<\/a>Numerous studies conducted throughout the past decade suggest that Astaxanthin has extraordinary<\/em> antioxidant properties<\/strong>. What is Astaxanthin? Astaxanthin is a carotenoid molecule from the same family as beta-carotene, lycopene, and zeaxanthin. However, Astaxanthin appears to be more active<\/em> in quenching superoxide, hydroxyl, and other radical species. Recent studies suggest that Astaxanthin has anti-inflammatory action, inhibiting cytokine cascades in a number of trials of cardiovascular health, respiratory health, joint health, athletic performance, and others.<\/p>\n

\"Tri-Krill<\/a>Astaxanthin<\/a> is what gives salmon its red color. Krill get their astaxanthin from small phytoplankton, their primary source of food. Our brand new Krill Oil, Tri-KRILL\u2122<\/a> provides even more than just antioxidant properties: it supports healthy liver function, healthy joints, and is a powerful immune system booster.<\/p>\n
