In terms of antioxidant power or potency, astaxanthin is 550 times stronger than vitamin E, and 6,000 times stronger than vitamin C! The first studies of the health benefits of natural astaxanthin were done on astaxanthin produced from krill oil. Cyanotech became aware of those studies as some of their customers started requesting supplement-grade astaxanthin for human consumption.

“It really caught our attention,” Dr. Cysewski says. “We started doing our own investigations, scouring the literature. And indeed, the first thing we found was that natural astaxanthin is probably the most potent natural antioxidant known.”
An important distinction is that, astaxanthin does not block UV rays, so it doesn’t prevent UVB from converting into vitamin D in your skin. It simply protects your skin against damage. Dr. Cysewski explains how:

“One of the first reactions, of course, is that UV radiation produces free radicals. The astaxanthin, as a potent antioxidant, can neutralize or quench those free radicals and stop them from causing damage, which eventually [would] lead to sunburn or to inflammation of the skin.
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid, related to beta-carotene, lutein, and canthaxanthin, but it has a unique structure, and works in some very unique ways. For example, most other antioxidants are depleted after they’ve transferred their free electrons. But astaxanthin has a massive surplus, allowing it to remain “active” far longer — at least one order of magnitude more than most other antioxidants. It donates electrons to neutralize free radicals, and then rejects the excess energy primarily as heat. But the astaxanthin remains intact — there are no chemical reactions to break it down, which is what occurs in most other antioxidants.
Astaxanthin also acts on at least five different inflammation pathways, and maintains balance within the system. Another major difference is in the number of free radicals it can handle at any given time. Most antioxidants, such as vitamin C, E and various others, can typically only handle one free radical at a time. But astaxanthin can handle multiple free radicals simultaneously – in some cases more than 19 at the same time.
“Studies have also shown that it improves blood flow and decreases blood pressure. It’s very beneficial to your heart’s mitochondria membranes, [and] can have a positive effect on blood chemistry, increasing HDL (the good cholesterol), and decreasing triglycerides.”
For comparison, four to six ounces of salmon — which contains some of the highest levels of astaxanthin — would provide about 2-3 mg. However, unless you’re eating wild caught salmon, beware that what you’re getting is synthetic astaxanthin, which is produced from petrochemicals. In fact, the synthetic astaxanthin fed to farmed salmon is not approved for human consumption, which is yet another reason to abstain from farm raised fish — especially salmon.
Make Sure Your Astaxanthin is Extracted Using Non-Toxic Methods.
Mangoes

Mangoes are rich in astaxanthin. This fruit also contains vitamins such as A and C and minerals like calcium.
Guava

Guava is another fruit high in astaxanthin. It is considered a super food because it has many vitamins and nutrients and is high in antioxidants.
Krill Oil

Krill feed on the micro-algae that produce astaxanthin. Humans consume krill in the form of krill oil supplements. Algae supplements containing astaxanthin are also available.
Shellfish

Shrimp, crawfish, crab and lobster all get their distinctive red color from the carotenoid astaxanthin. Chitosan, derived from shrimp shells, does not contain astaxanthin.
Fish

Astaxanthin is responsible for the distinctive red color of rainbow trout, salmon and salmon roe. Farm-raised salmon eat a diet supplemented with astaxanthin to ensure that they develop the expected coloring.
Vegetables and Fruit

Carrots, red peppers, and other red-pigmented vegetables and fruits contain astaxanthin.
staxanthin is a naturally occurring pigment that gives foods an orange, yellow or red color. Astaxanthin is considered a carotenoid, a class of antioxidants that includes lycopene, beta carotene and lutein. Doctor Boon Chew of Washington University has done research showing that astaxanthin stimulates the human immune system and can decrease DNA damage. Astaxanthin is found in salmon, lobster, shrimp, algae and dark-colored fruits and vegetables.

Olanipekun, had madethe application seeking an order for the directors of the bank to give explanations for flouting the orders of the court.
He argued that the court order made on January 28, which directed Access bank to discontinue its processes before a London court within 48 hours, had been disregarded by the defendants.

Afam4eva: Uploading videos in what sense? Pls be lucid.

i mean embedding videos on a webpage built with either joomla, wordpress, smf etc.
The idea is a website that users can interact but restrict some to view certain pages with videos on them. Is dat xplicit enof? Tanx

I also discovered that wordpress plugins for videos is not free. Please i just need your advice on other ones that you've used such as phpBB, b2evolution, drupal, etc

Please webmasters, have you any idea about the most suitable content management system for uploading videos?
I just tried joomla 1.7 and its kinda difficult though i've installed the plugins for it but there might be other ones you might have tried that's working fine for ya. Thanks.

jofech: Nobody mentions the fact that this is the same way that the Super Eagles allowed Guinea to score a similar late goal in the last Nations Cup qualifiers. I wonder how many more times our Eagles (they are not Super anymore) will subject us all to this anguish very late in matches. First, the team lacks tactical discipline and organization. Leading 1-0 with a couple of minutes to go only means one thing to an organized team:simply hold the ball, pass it around, go to the corner flag and hold the ball there for as long as you can. Eagles failed to do this. Why not start Ike uche and emenike same time? They will be dynamite. Yobo's captaincy should be reviewed because he is too docile. Keshi should communicate more to his players during matches.we still can qualify.

what hapnd 2 manutd v tottenham few days ago? Its nt dat dy lakd tactical discipln, 'dy jus playd acording 2 instructions' in keshi's words.

Somebody like me will allow my domain to expire because i want to change to another webhost provider. This is just to try my hands on different cpanels and features. For ur info, utiware.net cpanel features is quite different 4rm syskay.com. The same 4 web4africa.net etc. So it depends also on a webmaster looking for what he wants!

Burger01: Hmmm... Because of religion. Fanatico.. Mtcheew..

its just disheartening

A woman beat her seven year old son to death because he failed to memorise the koran as fast as she wanted. She had withdrawn him from school to enable him memorize the koran. A judge gave her a 17-year sentence in prison. She is 33 years old from wales. Can you imagine? http://m.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-20920649

Alaafia l‘oro:
For those you using derogatory word like ‘chinko‘ for tecno, you just stay there rubbishing their products while they are gradually taking over technologically. The asians have woken up in terms of technological advancement but africans will continue to be consumers, and not producers. Incase you don‘t know, acer, htc, samsung, toshiba, lg, tecno,lenovo etc are all asian products.

yeah. I knw dat samsung is south korean

DivideUs: Yes its aboki that is disgracin Nigeria. Hmmm

I think its time this becomes CONSTITUTIONALY endorsed or "offenders" are JAILED. (e dey hapn?)

cyril83: Dangote is very far from the richest man in nigeria, he's not even among 100....

proof please. Besides, Dangote's wealth can be traced and verified. It has a success story, so are the other richest men in the world such as bill gates, warren buffet, zuckerberg etc. They all have success stories bcoz we know how and where they started from.
But these others(IBB, OBJ, ABDULSALAM, TINUBU, etc) we all know atleast we envisage how they cut corners to earn their own. Even if they might have wealth more than dangote, they know that everyone knows they got their wealth through dishonest means at the expense of the populace. Abi no be so?
