Astaxanthin: The Powerful Pink Microalgae That Packs a Health Punch

In this episode, Dr. Kahn dives into the latest research on healthy fats and lifespan, the link between untreated hypertension and dementia risk, red meat's connection to colon cancer, and the role of TMAO in heart failure. He also discusses why ApoB might be a better cholesterol test.

The main focus is on astaxanthin, a potent carotenoid antioxidant derived from microalgae, which is difficult to source from plant foods. Astaxanthin offers significant health benefits, from supporting brain health to protecting the heart. A promising study on astaxanthin's impact on congestive heart failure is also highlighted.

Dr. Kahn proudly offers a premier brand of plant-based astaxanthin: Astaxanthin Complex.
