Medicinal Benefits

ASTAXANTHIN+COENZYME Q10 treats male infertility and contains Astaxanthin and Coenzyme Q10. Astaxanthin is a reddish pigment (carotenoid) with anti-inflammatory and antineoplastic properties. It acts as an antioxidant and protects the cells against free radicals or toxins in the body due to pollution, smoking, ultraviolet rays, etc. It improves the functioning and motility of the sperm and further enhances the sperm's binding capacity to the oocyte (immature egg cell). Coenzyme Q10 generates energy in your cells and helps prevent migraine headaches, lowers blood pressure, and a second heart attack. It also improves sperm movement and counts in infertile men.
