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.

1 capsule daily or as directed Clinicians Coenzyme Q10 200mg is a high level, naturally fermented form of Coenzyme Q10, blended with plant oil to increase bioavailability and comes in small, easy-to-swallow gel caps.

CoQ10 is essential for energy production and the body stores it in muscles with high energy demands such as the heart, adrenal glands, kidneys, lungs, liver and spleen. It supports heart muscle contractions and its antioxidant actions help protect the cells from damage.

Coenyzme Q10 levels may be depleted when taking some medications and is required by the body for normal day-to- day energy production. It also provides essential support for cardiovascular and periodontal health Product code: CLNCOQ10200 Cautions
Individuals taking blood-thinning medication should use CoQ10 under health professional supervision.

Exercise caution in patients with liver disease. Supplementation of more than 300mg per day of CoQ10 may affect liver enzyme levels.

Exercise caution in people with hepatic insufficiency or biliary obstruction as these conditions may increase CoQ10 concentrations.

CoQ10 is chemically similar to Vitamin K2 and therefore has the ability to affect coagulation like Vitamin K2. Taking both Vitamin K2 and CoQ10 together may cause an additive effect thereby increasing the risk of clotting in people taking anticoagulants.

Individuals on cholesterol management medications may require higher levels of Coenzyme Q10. For low level therapy take Coenzyme Q10 50—100mg daily. For medium to high level therapy take 100– 200mg CoQ10 daily or use 2mg Coenzyme Q10 per kg body weight as a general guideline.

Use under the guidance of a health professional during pregnancy. Supplementation should only be recommended when the benefits outweigh the risks. Levels of 200mg per day of CoQ10 have been used for five months during pregnancy in women for normal blood pressure balance

Not recommended during breastfeeding due to a lack of studies.

Generally considered well tolerated at levels of up to 1200mg per day. In some individuals, CoQ10 supplementation may cause gastrointestinal symptoms including epigastric discomfort, poor appetite, nausea or diarrhoea. However this has been noted in less than 0.5% of people.

Not to be taken if on warfarin therapy, without medical advice.
