`Nutrex Hawaii
`Hawaiian Astaxanthin Microalgae May be
`the Secret to Better Eye Health
`
`>PRWEB.COM Newswire<="">
`
`Kailua-Kona, Hawaii (PRWEB) January 24,
`2013
`
`January is National Eye Care month and
`research shows a microalgae-based nutrient
`called Astaxanthin (pronounced asta-ZAN-thin)
`from Nutrex Hawaii may be a more potent
`protector of eye health than the proverbial
`carrot.
`
`"Nutrients like beta carotene found in carrots
`are well known for eye health, but they aren't
`able to cross the blood brain barrier to protect
`the inner eye," says Bob Capelli, co-author of
`The World's Best Kept Health Secret: Natural
`Astaxanthin and Vice President at Nutrex
`Hawaii. "Astaxanthin is different. Studies show
`this powerful antioxidant can cross the blood(cid:173)
`retinal barriers and protect the inner eye from
`environmental conditions and fatigue."
`
`Eyes are continuously under attack. Ozone
`layer depletion, pollution, contaminants and the
`high levels of stress in modem life lead to an
`assault on our vital organs, including our eyes.
`Groundbreaking research conducted by Dr,
`Mark Tso, University of Illinois, Urbana(cid:173)
`Champaign found that astaxanthin helps protect
`the eye from light-induced damage,
`photoreceptor cell damage, ganglion cell
`damage, neuronal damage and inflammatory
`damage.

`
`More recently, two studies have showed that 6
`mg per day of natural astaxanthin
`supplementation for four weeks can reduce eye
`soreness, dryness, tiredness and blurred vision.

`
`"There are so many potential benefits for the
`eyes from Astaxanthin use and the research
`being conducted is very exciting. Due to natural
`Astaxanthin's powerful antioxidant and anti(cid:173)
`inflammatory properties, indications are that it
`will prove to be superior to all other
`nutraceuticals for eye health," added Capelli.

`Experts recommend a 6 to 8 mg per day
`dosage for eye health. A free version of the
`newly revised book The World's Best Kept
