Astaxanthin & Bilberry Extract

This daily antioxidant food supplement contains a combination of antioxidants, including natural Astaxanthin, Bilberry extract and Vitamins C and E, designed to help protect your body’s cells against damaging free radicals.

• Astaxanthin – one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants (Nishida et al., 2007)
  
• Bilberry – one of the richest sources of anthocyanins (Bornsek et al., 2012)
  
• Vitamins C and E contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress (EFSA, 2010)
  

Wellosophy Astaxanthin & Bilberry Extract complements a healthy balanced diet to support the body’s own antioxidant defences and help to combat oxidative stress, which can contribute to skin ageing, inflammation and chronic stress (Pisoschi & Pop, 2015).

We are all exposed to free radicals every day, from natural metabolic processes within our own bodies, but also from unhealthy lifestyle choices (e.g., unhealthy diet, alcohol consumption and smoking) and from the environment (e.g., pollution and UV rays). Our body has a natural built-in antioxidant defence system but if these defences are unable to keep up with neutralising the accumulation of free radicals, it puts stress on our bodies – known as oxidative stress – which can have a negative impact over time. Oxidative stress can occur in every organ in our bodies, including our skin, brain, heart, and eyes. You need a variety of antioxidants from your diet to help your body protect itself against oxidative stress.

• Over time, oxidative stress can lead to negative health effects (Pisoschi & Pop, 2015).
  
• Oxidative stress can lead to skin ageing, eye damage and impaired immunity (Pisoschi & Pop, 2015)
  
• Immune cells are particularly sensitive to oxidative stress. Research has shown that astaxanthin can benefit the immune system (Park et al. 2010, Baralic et al. 2015).
  

Antioxidants are compounds, which are able to neutralise free radicals. There are many types of antioxidants, present in different types of foods, including phytonutrients (natural plant compounds), vitamins and minerals. Including a variety of different coloured plant-based foods in your diet means you will get different types of antioxidants with different benefits.

• Antioxidants can help reduce oxidative stress, benefiting skin health, eye health and immune function (Pisoschi & Pop, 2015).
