Dunaliella Salina - Berry Radical Ingredient #10
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Dunaliella Salina is a marine microalgae that is the richest known source of dietary carotenoids. It also contains alpha and beta carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin and cryptoxanthin.
The combination of carotenoids and green chlorophyll give Dunaliella salina its orange-red colour.
Carotenoids have antioxidant, anticarcinogenic and immune enhancing properties. They may help to protect against premature ageing, cataracts, cardiovascular disease and other chronic diseases.
It is grown in clean ocean waters of Karratha in Western Australia. It is harvested and dried mechanically without chemicals or solvents.
