Underwater Secret Boosts Energy

Dear Living Well Daily Reader,

When you’re feeling run-down, frazzled and mentally fatigued, handling even the smallest tasks can be a real challenge.

But what if you could wake up tomorrow feeling more energized and mentally alert than you’ve felt in decades?

According to some Japanese researchers, this could be possible thanks to an underwater nutrient that’s shocking researchers around the world.

It’s called astaxanthin, a unique compound found in microscopic microalgae and even certain types of fish.

And it’s long been touted for its ability to hunt down free radicals and stop oxidative stress – two powerful culprits responsible for aging and disease.

And now recent research shows astaxanthin could be the energy-boosting, mind-clearing miracle we’re all looking for in our golden years.

A double-blind, placebo-controlled study out of Japan asked 39 healthy participants to take either 12 mg. of astaxanthin a day or placebo.

Then they were subjected to mental and physical tests that caused fatigue and stress similar to the types we all face in our daily lives.

At the end of the eight-week trial, folks who were taking the astaxanthin experienced a significant reduction in physical and mental fatigue.

They were less irritated, and even saw improvements in concentration, motivation, and clarity of thinking.

This means by supplementing with 12mg of astaxanthin every day, you could have the extra energy and sharp mind you need to deal with whatever life throws your way.

And the best part — astaxanthin is easy to get your hands on. You can find it at natural health stores and through online retailers like amazon.com at about $13 for a month’s supply.

Live well,
