Antioxidants

Take one capsule per day, with food. Increased amounts up to 3 capsules can be taken if there is an increased need for antioxidants. Lifestream Astazan contains a vegetarian/vegan source of the powerful antioxidant called astaxanthin, which is a natural red component of a fresh-water plant (similar to spirulina). Astaxanthin offers strong antioxidant activity against free radicals, pollutants and damaging substances. Astaxanthin is similar to Beta-carotene but a slight difference in structure results in a radical difference in biological activity making it stronger than most other natural antioxidants- 100 times stronger than vitamin E, and 65 times stronger than vitamin C as an antioxidant. Astaxanthin has the remarkable ability to help limit sunburn and help feed and support the skin in its defences against external damage from ultraviolet radiation (UVR). It is a systemic sunscreen active throughout the body that strengthens the skins natural defence system during exposure to UVR. During strenuous exercise free radicals can cause skeletal damage, muscle damage and lipid peroxidation as well as contributing to the loss of calcium within the cells. Astaxanthin’s antioxidant properties assist muscle function and exercise recovery by reducing free radical damage during heavy exercise, thus allowing muscles to use oxygen efficiently and recover quickly. Recent studies have shown the antioxidant properties of astaxanthin also supported brain health for mental clarity and focus, eye, skin, joint and heart health. Some antioxidants when taken in high doses can have a reverse effect by becoming pro-oxidant. This is not the case with Astaxanthin, it has no reported negative side effects.

L-Arginine is an amino acid that is involved in the production of nitric acid, which supports the dilation and relaxation of the arteries. This helps maintain balanced blood pressure levels and healthy circulation. L-Arginine is also used to facilitate cell regeneration, tissue growth and development, and neuron (nerve) production. Product code: 9420026573264 Cautions
Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Although generally considered well tolerated to date there is insufficient information to support its use during these times.

High arginine supplementation (12 g per day), may lead to hypotension – supplement under the guidance of a health professional and monitor blood pressure levels.

Exercise caution in people diagnosed with schizophrenia or who display distinct characteristics of the disease as arginine may exacerbate psychiatric symptoms.

People who have suffered from congestive heart failure or who are taking prescription medication for a heart condition should seek the advice of their physician before supplementing with arginine.

Exercise caution in people with late stage liver disease as supplemental arginine may increase blood nitrogen urea levels.

Individuals with Herpes simplex should consult their health care provider before taking arginine as this amino acid may affect the proliferation of the Herpes simplex virus (HSV).

The use of L-Arginine may be associated with higher post infarction mortality, therefore it should not be recommended following acute myocardial infarction (heart attack).

Antihypertensive medication may have an additive effect. Monitor blood pressure regularly Ingredients
