Also known as Vitamin C, this essential nutrient plays a crucial role in many bodily functions, including immune system health, collagen production, and antioxidant activity. Ascorbic acid is also an antioxidant, which means it can help protect the body’s cells against damage from free radicals.

When we exercise, our muscles burn calories and produce free radicals as a by-product. If the number of free radicals exceeds the body’s antioxidant defense capacity, these molecules can damage our muscles and reduce their ability to contract. Evidence from clinical studies would suggest that astaxanthin supplementation could potentially improve muscle endurance and recovery because of its potent antioxidant capacity and contribution to the mechanisms associated with the formation of lactic acid.

Crucial for cognitive health because they are essential components of brain cell membranes and support brain function. Life’s DHA® is a vegetarian source of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) omega-3 from algae that provides important brain and eye benefits through all stages of life.
