Dear Annie,\u00a0I wanted to share a memory-strengthening strategy with you. About 20 years ago (I’m 72) I started noticing my memory beginning to weaken, and asked my friend, an expert in alternative remedies, what I should start taking.<\/p>

Long story short, I’ve been taking 12 mg of BioAstin (astaxanthin) and a tablet of Lipothiamine (originally once a day and now twice a day for both) and my memory has become sharper and sharper again.<\/p>

It is better now than when I was 40!<\/p>

WOW, Thanks for sharing. Let\u2019s take a dive into these supplements to explore what they are and how they work.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid found mainly in marine plants and animals. Carotenoids are yellow, orange, and red pigments responsible for these colors in the natural world. They make the colors of pumpkins, squash, salmon, crab, carrots, tomatoes and even flamingos.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    Carotenoids can also be found in several bacteria, and fungi. Astaxanthin has a strong blood red pigment and is considered by many to be one of the most powerful antioxidants.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    Astaxanthin as a Nutritional Supplement<\/h4>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    This is an interesting, and relatively new healing agent, at least in its concentrated form as a nutritional supplement. Astaxanthin was discovered in 1938 by German scientist Richard Kuhn. In 1987 astaxanthin was approved as an additive to fish and animal foods to help stabilize the coloring in farming fish markets. Finally, the FDA approved its use as a dietary supplement in 1995.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    As a nutritional supplement for humans and animals, astaxanthin is primarily extracted from the green, fresh water, microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis<\/em>. Although it is also produced from other marine and plant life, H pluvialis<\/em> is throught to be the most biologically sustainable source, with the highest known concentration of the blood red carotenoid. Some producers create synthetic astaxanthin (although not usually used for human supplementation). Because pigment sources can vary, it is a good idea to read the label carefully to insure you are ingesting a quality product.<\/p>

    Some of the best dietary sources of astaxanthin include algae, yeast, salmon, trout, krill, shrimp, and crayfish.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

    The numbers vary by researchers and producers, but overall, it is universally accepted that astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant; in fact, it is more powerful than both vitamins E and C. It should also be noted that while there are many studies about the possible benefits of this supplement, there is a notable lack of human studies, probably because it\u2019s relatively new to the scene.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
