Strength in clinically backed evidence

BioReal (Sweden) AB is a research based biotech company with a high level of expertise in its core areas of business. We carry out clinical research to demonstrate the beneficial effects of astaxanthin in areas such as beauty, gastric health, muscle endurance and eye health. To facilitate this research, BioReal (Sweden) AB has created a contact network worldwide for successful research and to broaden the understanding of the biological effects of astaxanthin.

Astaxanthin on the cellular level

astaxanthinoncellular
Upon indigestion astaxanthin is accumulated in all organs in the body. Within the organ and in the cells astaxanthin is present in the lipid structures that build up the cell membrane and structures within the cell like the mitochondria. As a very effective antioxidant astaxanthin protects the components in the lipid membranes from rancidity or oxidation. Thereby astaxanthin support the functionality and vitality of the cells that form our bodies. By protecting the membranes astaxanthin also possess strong anti-inflammatory effects. Since astaxanthin is taken up all over in the body supplementation with astaxanthin contributes positively on a range of different indications.

Human research

Human Research humanresearch The cells in our bodies are constantly exposed to free radicals. Molecules which trigger oxidation of vital components and causing oxidative stress. The oxidative stress increases with aging and in connection with many diseases or intensive physical activities. Chronic inflammations and infections are other areas in which free radicals are one of the contributory factors.

Astaxanthin is one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants, shown to have a thousand times higher antioxidative capacity than Vitamin E. Astaxanthin, unlike other antioxidants, also has the unique ability to span through the lipid bi-layer of the cell membrane. Therefore, it helps protecting lipids and other sensitive components in the cell membrane and within our bodies from reactive oxygen species and oxidation. The aim of our medical research is to develop methods for the prevention and treatment of these widespread ailments to improve your health and quality of life.

Animal research

Animal studies Astaxanthin may in future prove to be the natural alternative to antibiotics and hormone treatments in livestock. Results from intensive research on chicken, pig, cattle and horses have shown a significant increase in fertility and health because the antioxidative properties of astaxanthin.

In breeding boars used for insemination astaxanthin supplementation improved reproduction by 13.5% – that means 1400 more piglets born per boar, per year.

Natural astaxanthin may prove to be alternative to antibiotics and hormone treatments in animal nutrition. Results from intensive research on hens, pigs, cattle and horses have shown significant increase in fertility and improved animal health due to the unique antioxidant properties of astaxanthin.
