BETA XANTHIN - A COMBINATION OF TWOMIRACULOUS HEALING AGENTS!!!!
A large body of scientific evidence supports the connection between nutrition and disease. Immune enhancers and antioxidants are the focus of research because of the number of diseases in which immune imbalance and oxidative damage have been identified. The protective effects of antioxidants and immune balance is the foundation of preventive care. BetaXanthinTM contains a potent complex of an antioxidant and a clinically tested immune system enhancer. Both beta glucan and astaxanthin are safe and non-toxic. BetaXanthinTM is a combination of two of the most potent substances ever discovered for immune system support. Both of these products are found in dietary items and are known to be safe. Scientists at some of the world’s pre-eminent universities and research institutions have conducted over 800 studies in animals and humans relative to the components contained in BetaXanthinTM. This research confirms that the compounds isolated for use in BetaXanthinTM produce multiple broad-scale effects that strengthen the vitality of the immune system and provide superior antioxidant activity. Why should a person consider taking an immune supplement? These components together help to ehnahce the body's own defense against disease through support and balance of antioxidant status and immune function. The objective in compounding these two complexes is to support the body's own defenses against cancer, infectious disease, cellular, mitochondrial and DNA damage. Studies regarding the maintenance of healthy DNA, cardiovascular and gastrointestinal systems have also shown positive results regarding these materials. The two components of BetaxathinTM are Beta 1, 3-D glucan and Astaxanthin. BetaXanthinTM contains Beta Glucan, a component that helps maintain immune balance. Beta Glucan is a high quality pure extract from Baker’s Yeast. The second component, Astaxanthin, helps maintain antioxidant balance. The Astaxanthin in BetaXanthinTM is a high quality pure pigment extract from an aquatic plant. BetaXanthinTM should be taken on an empty stomach twice daily, with water, at least 30 minutes before eating. Capsules can be opened and the loose powder taken with water. The daily dose of two capsules is calculated per 150 lbs. Dose may be adjusted on a weight basis (one capsule per 75 lbs.) or as otherwise directed by a healthcare professional.

What is Astaxanthin? Astaxanthin, a member of the carotenoid (carotenes as in carrots, other orange vegetables and fruit, and deep green vegetables) family, is an oxygenated pigment called a xanthophyll. It is a fat-soluble nutrient with a molecular weight of 596.8 Da and a long, double-bonded polyene chain with a six-membered ring polar (water-loving) end group. Its unique molecular structure gives it superior antioxidant capacity. It is an all-natural, renewable material extracted from microalgae grown on the Kona Coast of Hawaii, using a nontraditional, proprietary method. The extract contains no organic solvents, and is characterized and standardized to ensure the highest quality. For those who wish to know the biochemisty of why I choose BetaXanthin for my patients: This Astaxanthin brand begins with the most highly concentrated natural source of astaxanthin, Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae. This source is far more concentrated than other sources of astaxanthin as shown below:
Astaxanthin is more stable than the microalgae because the extracted Astaxanthin Complex is better protected within the oleoresin matrix than in the dry form of the microalgae meal. The esterified form of Astaxanthin (as in the microalgae) also contributes to stability; an advantage over extracts of crustaceans, which are not as highly esterified. In addition, Astaxanthin is also in the same isomeric form found in the most common source consumed by humans – salmon. Astaxanthin found in the yeast, Pfaffia is in the opposite form, and synthetic astaxanthin is a mixture of both forms. Astaxanthin is a natural complex of carotenoids including astaxanthin, beta-carotene, lutein and canthaxanthin in its own natural oil containing small amounts of omega 3 and 6 fatty acids (essential fatty acids). This complex provides a more desirable group of carotenoids than a single dietary ingredient. Is there scientific support for astaxanthin in the research literature? Yes. There is a substantial body of literature including in vitro studies, preclinical studies and several human clinical trials. These data consistently suggest that Astaxanthin, with its unique molecular structure and resulting potent antioxidant activity, may be an effective therapeutic modality for a variety of conditions, including cardiovascular, immune, anti-inflammatory, and neurodegenerative. A bibliography is available upon request. Have clinical studies been conducted for astaxanthin? There have been numerous preclinical in vivo and in vitro studies and several human clinical trials to evaluate the efficacy of astaxanthin. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study demonstrated that astaxanthin was found to significantly increase strength and endurance. Another clinical study shows that astaxanthin alleviates symptoms in patients with H. pylori (pre-ulcer indigestion). A third clinical study demonstrated bioavailability in humans. Additional human clinical studies are being sponsored. What are the major benefits associated with Astaxanthin? -Inhibits lipid peroxidation at the cell level, thus protecting the cell membrane and the mitochondrial membrane within the cell.
Astaxanthin has 100-500 times the antioxidant capacity of Vitamin E and 10 times the antioxidant capacity of beta-carotene. Many laboratory studies also indicate astaxanthin is a stronger antioxidant than lutein, lycopene and tocotrienols. How does Astaxanthin work in the body? After ingestion, Astaxanthin is absorbed by the duodenal mucosa and transported to the liver where it binds with a lipoprotein for transport through the body to the cells. The polar end groups attach to the outer and inner side of the cell membrane, where free radical attack first occurs. The hydroxy and carbonyl groups in astaxanthin help to anchor this molecule to the cell membrane, thus strengthening it. Astaxanthin is an oxygenated carotenoid called a xanthophyll. Because it is oxygenated, a xanthophyll has greater antioxidant capacity than many other carotenoids. Within the xanthophylls, the astaxanthin molecule contains the longest conjugated, double-bond polyene chain along with both hydroxy and carbonyl groups at each end. This configuration supports the greatest antioxidant capacity, its peroxyl radical chain-breaking abilities, its incorporation of free radicals into its polyene chain (thereby more effectively trapping them), and its enhancement of Vitamin C as an antioxidant. While other carotenoids and antioxidants may perform one or two of these functions, astaxanthin does them all and, in most cases, does them better. In addition to entrapping
free radicals, astaxanthin also de-charges singlet and triplet oxygen
and inhibits reactive oxygen, giving it anti-inflammatory properties.
Astaxanthin may also increase gap junctional communication between cells,
which is a mechanism in the body thought to inhibit the growth of cancer
cells. What is the cell membrane bilayer? The cell membrane is constructed of two layers of lipid (fat) molecules, resulting in the name "lipid bilayer." The lipid molecules are polar (water-loving) on one end and non-polar on the other. They line up so that the non-polar center of the membrane is inside of the polar outer edges, which are in contact with the water-based material inside and outside of the cell. What is the importance of the blood-brain barrier? The blood-brain barrier is a very dense network of tight capillary walls (5 nanometers between cells) that are wrapped around the capillaries of the brain to prevent harmful bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other substances from entering the brain while allowing neurotransmitters and nutrients that nourish the brain to cross. These nutrients include growth factors, water, fat-soluble molecules less than 600 Da, oxygen and carbon dioxide. What indications does astaxanthin have for human use? -Increases strength
and endurance (2.8 times greater increase over baseline versus placebo
in human study).* Is Astaxanthin safe? Preclinical studies demonstrate that astaxanthin is safe. There are no known side effects. Should I replace other dietary supplements with Astaxanthin? Astaxanthin enhances the action of Vitamin C and Vitamin E and increases the release of Vitamin A from the liver. On a weight basis astaxanthin has about 10 times the antioxidant activity of other carotenoids such as lutein, zeaxanthin, canthaxanthin and beta-carotene, and is about 100 to 500 times greater than alpha-tocopherol. Astaxanthin compliments and enhances the effects of other dietary supplements. What is the recommended dosage? The recommended dosage of 1 mg twice per day is similar on a weight basis to current doses for beta-carotene and alpha-tocopherol. The recommended dose is one half of that used in the Malmsten human clinical study in which astaxanthin was found to increase strength and endurance threefold. Basically, 1 capsule per day per 75 lbs of weight or less..double, etc as needed. Excellent for your dog, cat particularly after vaccination when their immune system is very challanged.
