Much More Than Just an Electrolyte Formula...
Sodium, Magnesium, Potassium... What else? Our Electrolyte formula also contains...
- Vitamin C to protect cells from oxidative stress and contribute to a healthy immune system
- Molybdenum to process proteins, DNA and break down toxins
- Selenium to boost the immune system, lower oxidative stress and reduce inflammation
- Astaxanthin which is 65 x stronger than Vitamin C and 550 x more effective than Vitamin E as an anti-oxidant
Clinically proven benefits of Astaxanthin: Microalgae produce astaxanthin to protect themselves from stressful environmental conditions. This attribute is transmitted to humans by ingestion as food or supplements. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of natural Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae have led more than a thousand clinical and pre-clinical studies that show benefits in brain health, cardiovascular support, eye health, skin health, antiaging, and athletic performance.
Known as the “The king of the carotenoids,” it is nature’s most powerful antioxidant. Unlike other carotenoids, it never becomes a prooxidant. It absorbs UV rays reducing skin damage from sun exposure. Most available antioxidants cannot cross endothelial cells, astaxanthin does cross the blood-brain and blood-retinal barriers to help preserve neurons and eye health.
Having both hydrophilic and lipophilic sites, the Astaxanthin molecule stretches through the phospholipid bilayer of cell membranes creating a shield that protects mitochondria, ribosomes and nuclear DNA against oxidative damage. Supports healthy inflammatory response blocking COX 2 pathway, it also suppresses serum levels of interleukin 1B, prostaglandin E2, C Reactive Protein, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha.
As an antioxidant:
- Astaxanthin is 800 times stronger than CoQ10
- Astaxanthin is 65 times stronger than vitamin C
- Astaxanthin is 550 times stronger than vitamin E
- Astaxanthin is 54 times stronger than beta carotene
- Astaxanthin is 21 times stronger than synthetic astaxanthin
Oxalate Dumping
Gravitating more towards a animal based lifestyle and moving away from foods that contain oxalates can temporarily cause something know as 'Oxalate Dumping'. The tissue within the body begins to release stored oxalates which can cause a myriad of problems. The Potassium & Magnesium citrate we use in our formula binds tightly to the oxalates and enables us to excrete them from the body aiding massively in combatting any symptoms.
