Artiklar & fakta

De absolut flesta tar astaxanthin för att få en slät, mjuk och vacker hud men en ny studie visar att astaxanthin även hjälper att förebygga vävnadsskador i lungorna.

Precis i början av en förkylning eller vid en begynnande feber är det inte ovanligt med tillskott av Echinacea (röd solhatt), vilket är ett preparat från växtsläktet Läkerudbeckia. Dock kan man reagera allergiskt mot Echinacea om man reagerar mot korgblommiga växter.

En ny studie publicerade i tidskriften Neurology visar att B-vitaminerna, C-vitamin, D-vitamin, E-vitamin och omega-3 är förknippade med förbättrad kognitiv funktion (minne och tankeverksamhet) hos äldre.

Astaxantin är en superantioxidant som normalt tas för att få vacker hy. Emellertid visar studier att Astaxantin är bra för betydligt mer än bara hudhälsa:

Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC) är en av USA:S ledande akademiska sjukhus och forskningscenter. Som ett universitetssjukhus inom Harvard Medical School är BIDMC ett av världens ledande center inom hälsa och sjukvård. De skriver på sin hemsida: ”Grenade aminosyror (BCAA) är naturligt förekommande molekyler/aminosyror (leucin, isoleucin och valin) som kroppen använder för att bygga proteiner.
