Jarrow Formulas® Launches Astaxanthin: Promotes Healthy Inflammatory Response
Los Angeles, CA, March 23, 2011 – Jarrow Formulas®, Inc., a global wellness and nutrition product company headquartered in Los Angeles, CA, has announced the launch of astaxanthin, a natural antioxidant carotenoid derived from the fermentation of the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis.  Astaxanthin protects, in part, through its potent antioxidant activity, which according to tests at Creighton University is superior to that of vitamins C, E and green tea. Clinical studies have demonstrated that astaxanthin may promote a healthy inflammatory response, protects the skin during exposure to sunlight and supports joint, brain and eye health.
Astaxanthin has been referred to as nature's sunscreen, but its benefits are more than skin deep. Recent trials, including human data, suggest that astaxanthin may be protective of the cardiovascular and immune systems and even may influence insulin metabolism. Of special interest, astaxanthin can cross the blood-brain and blood-retinal barriers to delivery its benefits.
BioAstin® Astaxanthin is a completely natural antioxidant.  The suggested retail price (SRP) for Jarrow Formulas’ Astaxanthin (from BioAstin®) is $21.95 for a bottle of 60 softgels each delivering 4 mg astaxanthin.  Recommended usage is 1 softgel per day with a meal or as directed by your qualified health care consultant.
