Medical Doctor says Natural Astaxanthin Changed his Life

I was born and raised in Honolulu. Both of my parents were physicians with me being the fifth generation of physicians on my mother's side. I have been practicing anesthesiology in Honolulu for over twenty-five years. I have spent most of my youth, and as many free hours of my life as possible, in and on the ocean. Unfortunately I have always been exquisitely sensitive to sun exposure, becoming physically ill after a day in the sun, and always getting a burn no matter how much sunscreen, hats, and long shirts I put on. It definitely affected my quality of life, and I started avoiding going outdoors to the detriment of my ingrained psyche that craved being in the sun.

BioAstin [Natural Astaxanthin] literally changed my life, I am outdoors in the sun whenever and for as long as I like. For myself, the increased sun tolerance has been quite remarkable. Most of my surfing and diving friends now use the product. In my specialty of cardiothoracic anesthesia for open heart surgery and transplantation, the use of pharmacologic doses of free radical scavengers is crucial to survival of the patients whose organ systems are being challenged by the stresses of complex operations. The anesthesia research literature is heavily published in this area. For this reason I have intimate knowledge of how this product BioAstin works, and the potential significance of application in the medical field.

Coincidentally, within a few weeks after I starting taking Astaxanthin, I noticed that it was so much easier to jump out of bed in the morning. The usual stiffness and occasional soreness that would take 15 to 30 minutes to resolve was gone. I didnt think about it much at the time, but looking back at it now, I realize that my physical body regained the smooth, painless functions that I enjoyed in my thirties, almost twenty years ago.

Lastly, some of the older surgeons I work with who have confided in me their own aches and pains have tried BioAstin themselves and been so amazed that they are now recommending it to their patients.

Professional Triathlete

My name is Tim Marr and I am a professional triathlete from Honolulu, Hawaii. I first discovered BioAstin about 4 years ago, which was when I first started racing triathlons. Racing triathlons in Hawaii involves two things: Heavy exercise and long term sun exposure. With these issues in mind I was looking for a product that would help my performance in those two areas. My solution was BioAstin. Once I started using BioAstin I noticed a significant improvement in overuse injuries as well as long term sun exposure. Antioxidants are the secret to training performance and recovery and BioAstin is packed full of high quality antioxidants. The value of a BioAstin bottle with 60 capsules is a great deal, even as a college student I knew the benefit was well worth the investment. I will be using BioAstin for many years to come, and it will be one of my favorite tools as a professional athlete. I want to thank BioAstin for helping me achieve my goalsits an important part of all of my results.

Americas Top FreediverImmunity/Recovery/Less Fatigue

My sport is physically demanding and I train in very extreme conditions. I found out about BioAstin in 2003 and started taking it religiously. I took it on the premise that it would take care of the free radicals in my system which bind to the O2 molecules and would hinder O2 uptake. Once I started taking BioAstin I noticed an overall change in my health. I was getting sick far less than previous years. Colds and flu, which are a potential problem for freediving during training and for competition as I push my body to its limits, had become a non-issue for me.

On top of this I was noticing changes in my training itself. During dives I found that on my ascent I was getting far less fatigued and absolutely no lactic acid build up in my quadriceps. I was also recovering from the dives much quicker on the surface, which means that I am able to catch my breath far quicker than before.

In recent weeks I have conducted my own personal experiment and stopped using BioAstin to see what effects this would have on my body in training. During training dives to 200 feet I was experiencing much fatigue in my quadriceps on my ascent. I was also taking much longer to recover from the dives on the surface than while taking BioAstin. This re-enforced my belief that BioAstin really was making a difference in my diving performances.

Based on my experience with your product I feel very confident and enthusiastic to promote its benefits in regards to the sport of freediving in my National and International appearances at competitions.

70 Year OldJoint Pain/Stamina/Macular Degeneration

My wife and I have been taking BioAstin for almost two years. Our joint pain has gone away or was significantly reduced, in the case of my wife. I work out at a local gym for 2 hours, 6 days a week, riding the bike for 45 - 60 minutes at a time, the rest of the time on strength exercises. I no longer have pain in my knees and my stamina has improved. In addition, I developed a vision problem nine months ago in my right eye which has recently been diagnosed as potentially macular degeneration. Im not sure this is correct as my vision has been improving each month and my vision has returned almost to what it was prior to the problem occurring. I dont know if BioAstin has anything to do with this but with all the other improvements in my general health it could be the BioAstin along with the exercise. My wife and I will be 70 years old next year and want to continue our good health.

College AthleteSore Hands

I was a collegiate athlete and have had a lot of problems with joint pain in my hands for years. In fact, it gets so bad that Im unable to hold a newspaper for longer then 5 minutes without my hands and fingers getting sore. I started taking BioAstin about 5 years ago and since taking BioAstin my hands and fingers are 90% better. I started seeing results after the first 2 months. I have tried several different competitive products and within 2 weeks my hands were just as bad as prior to taking BioAstin. I will definitely never use anything else! I'm glad I finally found something that works.

Immunity/Skin Tone/Exercise Recovery

I am a marathoner and have been taking your product since March 2002. I took one gel before exercise for the first 2 years in accordance with your instructions. Taking the BioAstin made a huge difference in my recovery time as well as allowing me to run pain free on my daily training runs of 6 miles. On my weekend long run of 12 to 18 miles, I do experience a bit of soreness in the calves, and on completing the last Honolulu Marathon 2005, only a bit sore for a day or so. Prior to taking BioAstin, I could expect to be sore for 4 5 days. The past year or so I have increased my dosage to 3 per day for short runs and 5 per day for long runs of 12-18 miles.

My immunity is very high as a result of taking BioAstin, I am sick-free year round except for right after the marathon, I am prone to catching the flu or colds. My skin tone is great also.

I am a good spokesman for BioAstin, having many family and friends hooked on your product to whom I send BioAstin as far as Paris, Orlando and California. Keep up the good work.

Gum Disease/Tendonitis

I just wanted to let you know about my experience with your BioAstin Astaxanthin supplement. Your company might find this to be very interesting since my benefit was not something I was expecting, namely healing my gum disease. I think the name for gum disease is gingivitis. Anyway, here is my experience.

I began using BioAstin to help with tendonitis in my wrists and forearms and it did really help with that. Prior to my introduction to BioAstin, I had been dealing with regular problems with bleeding and receding gums. I had even resorted to having gum surgery on one particularly bad area. My dentist and hygienist urged me to brush and floss more often than once a day. Despite good intentions, I have never managed to improve my brushing and flossing even to this day. After beginning BioAstin supplementation, my gums began to improve. The hygienist began to find fewer problem areas and pockets each time I had my teeth cleaned. Within a year, I had virtually no gum problems. I was unable to change my brushing and flossing habits and I did not really change my diet or regular supplements during this period. I feel that this dramatic improvement in my gum health can only be attributed to using BioAstin. My dose was two gelcaps per day.

Thanks for your work in developing this wonderful product.

Sunscreen/Joint Pain

My wife and I recently completed a 9,940 mile trip by motorcycle from California, USA to Quebec, Canada and back. We headed east from California through Nevada and Utah in May, 2005 and the temperatures reached over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. We started using BioAstin one week prior to departure and used no sun block for the next 60 days of our ride. I was driving the motorcycle and never had sunburn. My wife Jeanette was behind me and did have sunburn one day in Colorado on her neck, however it tanned and did not peel.

I also usually use glucosamine and condroitin for joint pain and found I didn't need it when using the BioAstin. This allowed us to carry 1/3 the number of pills we normally carry on such trips. Thanks for a great product.

Pain and Mobility/Healing from Injuries

I first purchased BioAstin in July of 2005. I had problems with my right knee for years, in part due to a pronation problem with my right foot. I finally got custom orthotics, which fixed that problem. However, six months after getting the orthotics, my right knee still hurt.

It hurt getting up or down, and stairs were agony. I couldn't even stretch my leg out straight when lying in bed, it always had to be bent. Nothing I didrest, exercise, painkillershelped it heal. Once I received the BioAstin, I took 3 gelcaps a day. Within 3 weeks, the pain in my right knee was gone for the first time in years. I've continued to take it daily. I have gotten minor injuries in that knee since, and the BioAstin helps the knee heal very quickly. Thank you for giving me real mobility back!

Cholesterol/Bronchitis

I love BioAstin. My cholesterol dropped from 233 to 180 after taking BioAstin for six months, and I never got the winter bronchitis that I normally get.
(Lisa Marie Duncan, Grand Ledge, Michigan)

Colds and Flu/Cold Sores

I have used BioAstin for the past few years. Since taking BioAstin, I feel at least I am doing something to combat the negative aspects of free radicals etc., which we are all being bombarded with. I have noticed a distinct decrease in colds and flu, and having previously had the occasional cold sore, I cannot remember when the last one was. Excellent result!
(Arlene Meyers, Seattle, WA)

Hawaiis Top Marathon Runner

I used to take various supplements that included antioxidants, Vitamin E & Vitamin C. I also took glucosamine to help joint pain. I started taking BioAstin several years ago and found that it gave me more energy day to day. BioAstin is a very healthy supplement. I have since recommended it to my parents and they too have been taking it daily.

Marathon training is very demanding and BioAstin has helped me recover from intense workouts quicker even though I was getting older. I also found that I no longer needed to take various antioxidants or glucosamine as BioAstin seemed to have benefits of these supplements too. Now I just take BioAstin and Hawaiian Spirulina.

Eyesight/Skin/Menstrual Pains

Spirulina in tablets and powder form has helped me and my family a lot. My eyesight has recovered from blurred vision. I have very tight sleep. Most of my pimples are gone and my face became more beautiful, not only because of smooth skin, but my eyes sparkle and dark spots around my eyes are gone. My menstruation pains are totally gone also. I feel really better. Thanks to Spirulina and God for such a wonderful discovery.
(Ellen Dimabayao, Los Angeles, CA)

Body Pains

This is an excellent product which has put the desire to live back in me. Before I started the tablets I was so miserable with pain of all kinds all over my body, shooting pains, tired pain in my hip, aches in my calves. I am now improved so that I can exercise, which is also good for me. My diet has not changed much nor my medication for diabetes and hypertension. However, my feeling is vastly different. I have told many others and started my two sisters and a fellow worker on it. I hope they are helped by it too, although mine was an extreme case which medical doctors and chiropractors couldn't seem to help.

Arthritis/Energy

I am a 63 year old woman, have always been very active, and still have a cleaning service where I do a lot of the work myself. I've known for several years that I have the telltale signs of arthritis, the swollen joints in my fingers and a very tender lump on one of my knuckles. I was beginning to think I would have to give up my business as I was in so much pain, especially in my hands. Also, my ankles made a cracking noise when I walked.

A friend of mine told me about Spirulina and I thought, well I might as well give it a try. After taking Spirulina for three weeks, the first thing I noticed was that all the soreness and pain were gone from my hands and that my ankles didn't make a noise when I walked. After my second bottle, I could work eight and ten hours straight and still no pain. I was out of Spirulina after my third bottle and after two weeks the soreness and pain had returned. After starting back on Spirulina, within four days all the swelling and pain are gone. I have more energy and just feel better all over. I've stopped taking all my other vitamins. I find that taking three tablets in the morning and three at bedtime works best for me.

I've recommended Spirulina to several of my friends and family members who are now taking it with positive results. I know for myself I don't want to be without Spirulina again.
(A. Walls, Melbourne, FL)

Strength/Energy

I wish to tell you how much I appreciate the introduction to your Spirulina. I first became aware of the product when I asked a neighbor what her secret was in keeping in such good shape and how she gets so much energy. She told me that she had eaten your Spirulina for one year, and gets the energy from this product.

I was at that time in the process of moving, and was afraid, by doing all the work myself, I would hurt myself again, especially my shoulders (bursitis), and back (old age, I guess). I am 59 years old.
I started to eat 6 Spirulina tablets daily, two weeks before moving. Needless to say, I got through all with flying colors, experienced strength I had not known for a long time.
Thank you for making this product available to me. I feel younger, better, stronger, can work better with more energy. I am recommending your Spirulina to my friends, and for a good deed, I get them started with a first supply.
(E. Corderoy, Hilo, HI)

Resistance to Colds/Energy/Pain

I have been taking Spirulina for six months. Mostly six tablets a day, sometimes more. I started taking your Spirulina when I had a painful condition in my right knee from what I thought was arthritis. Within two weeks, I had no pain left. It also gave me so much energy. I have not been hungry between meals.

I also noticed that I do not get colds and that during the flu season, even though I was in contact with my family who did have the flu, I did not get it. I know that when I forget to take Spirulina my symptoms returned. I know this natural product is from God. I recommend it to anyone. Thank you.
(C.B. Lang, lndiatlantic, FL)

Arthritis

I am 64 years of age and have had a bone density test. They determined I have arthritis in two vertebrae, pelvic bone, and knee joint. I was in so much pain it was hard to walk any distance and had trouble sleeping, as I would wake with severe pain in my entire right leg.

When I first heard about Spirulina I did not think it would work but I was willing to give it a try. After three weeks, I can now walk two miles without pain. I thank God for Spirulina and for Clara who told me about it.

Energy/Appetite Suppressant/Mental & Cognitive Improvement

I am a Nutritional Health Advisor, Chef, Yoga Practitioner and Teacher, Drummer and Writer. In over ten years of veganism I have tried many brands of Spirulina and Nutrex [Hawaiian] is by far the freshest and most potent form available on the market today. This has been confirmed by many nutritionist and scientist colleagues of mine. As a raw and living foodist, I consume Spirulina almost every day and it is one of my main sources of protein. I will never forget the first time I tried Nutrex Hawaiian Spirulina; I had boundless energy, my appetite decreased and I finally felt like my brain was functioning adequately. This product has increased my mental and cognitive capacities remarkably! If you want to understand what is meant by the statement we use less than 2% of our brain, try this product and you will feel yourself accessing the remaining 98%.
(Shanti Devi Michal, New York City)

Sports Training

I use Spirulina simply because it works and it is 100% natural. I feel fitter, have a better resistance and recover more quickly after exertion, whether it is a heavy training session or a match. My last condition test showed clearly that I had more stamina than last year.
(Erwin Koeman, Dutch National Soccer Team, Holland)

Diabetes

I am a juvenile diabetic patient. After I have started taking Spirulina Pacifica [Hawaiian], I have found an amazing result. My fasting blood sugar count has come down from 294 mg to 120 mg. Thank you very much.
(Mohua Dasgupta, Kolkata, India)

Digestion/Energy

Over the past year I have been taking Hawaiian Spirulina to neutralize some serious health problems. About four years ago I contracted acute and aggressive Ulcerative Colitis, necessitating the complete removal of my large intestine. In my particular case, this played havoc with my digestive system, especially in the area of essential nutrients.

During these last four years I have tried many health products and supplements and have had few permanent benefits. Most of these products helped for a short term, but were unable to sustain that on a continuing basis. Since discovering Hawaiian Spirulina, I have appreciated its benefits over an entire year. Its effects have not diminished, and I have found this to be a major source of my nutritional intake. Since taking Hawaiian Spirulina, I have felt myself being able to increase my energy levels and feel it has helped in my general lifestyle.
(Marie Cleanthous, St. Georges, South Australia)

Physical Enrichment Without Being Rich

I am not affluent and cannot afford a rich diet for my family. But Spirulina Pacifica [Hawaiian] has taken worries off me. Today with this Spirulina Pacifica every member of my family is physically enriched without being rich. Thank you Spirulina Pacifica.
(Indranath Mondal, Sonarpur, India)

Energy/Endurance

I am a national level swimmer currently in the Australian Telstra Dolphins Swim Team. I have been selected in the Australian Under 18 Team that competed in the Sydney Youth Olympics 2001.

I have only been using Spirulina for a short time but believe it has helped greatly with training and recovery. It gives me more energy and endurance. I recently swan a 2 km time trial with a 30 second personal best.
(David Cox, Beechboro, West Australia)

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Hawaiian Spirulina! Have you heard of it? I would like to inform every person out there of this wonderful natural health food that comes in powder or tablet form.
Some years ago after running my swimwear shop alone for 13 years, I was completely exhausted and had chronic fatigue syndrome. I had to sell up and take two years out of my life trying to get better. Doctors can do nothing for you. My son had heard about Hawaiian Spirulina and bought some.
As each week went by I became stronger and happier and got into life again, my dark hair became shiny again, my nails grew stronger.
I SWEAR BY SPIRULINA and have been taking it for 6 years now.

I look at the cost as a wonderful way to eat healthy. As I am now 61 years of age and want to always do the most with my life, I will always take Spirulina. I have introduced it to all my family and friends and have watched them all sparkle with health and energy. Why dont you do yourself a favor also?
