ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
What makes up Perfect White?
Yeast Extract
Yeast extract is the common name for various forms of processed yeast products that are used as food additives or flavorings. Yeast is recommended as a source of Vitamin B12.
L-Cysteine
L-Cysteine is a conditionally essential amino acid, one of only three sulfur-containing amino-acids, the others being taurine (which can be produced from L-Cysteine) and L-Methionine fropm which L-Cysteine can be produced in the body by a multi-step process. Cysteine plays a role in the sulfation cycle, acting as a sulfur donor in phase II detoxification and as a methyl donor in the conversion of homocysteine to methionine. Cysteine also helps synthesize glutathione, one of the body’s most important natural detoxifiers. N-acetyl-cysteine is the acetylated form of L-cysteine which is more efficiently absorbed and used.
Apple Polyphenols
Polyphenols extracted from apples are also showing promise in treating male pattern baldness, improving skin disorders and preventing allergic reactions. Apple polyphenol extracts have been show to be 2 to 6 times more powerful than Vitamin C as antioxidants. Apple polyphenols are naturally occurring plant compounds that act as potent antioxidants. They protect cells against free radicals, reactive atoms that contribute to tissue damage in the body.
Recently, apple polyphenol extracts have been announced to dramatically decrease organ fat and increase muscle strength in laboratory animals.
Grape Seed Extract
Grape seed extract is a natural plant substance that has a concentrated source of oligomeric proanthocyanidinsm (OPC). These antioxidants help protect cells from free radical damage and also promotes healthy circulation. Grape Seed Extract is rich in polyphenols, a compound that is high in antioxidants. Studies have shown OPC to be more powerful antioxidants than Vitamin C, E and beta-carotene.
Health Benefits of Grape Seed Extract:
One of the most powerful antioxidants that fights free radials
20 times more potent than Vitamic C and 50 times stronger than Vitamin E
Helps improve cardiovascular health
Helps promote brain, skin and eye health
Anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-inflammatory
One of the few antioxidants that can penetrate the blood brain barrier to help protect the brain and nerve tissue
Prevents the formation of plaque in the arteries
Improves mental alertness and helps prevent sinility
Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is a natural extract of dried Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae, rich in the red carotenoid pigment astaxanthin. A growing body of scientific literature is demonstrating that dietary astaxanthin has profound antioxidant potential and beneficial effects on health.
Haematococcus has never been associated with any toxicity in the reported literature or in field studies and numerous animal and human studies lend support to its safety (Maher 2000).
Lactose
Lactose (also referred to as milk sugar) is a sugar that is found most notably in milk. Lactose makes up around 2-8% of milk (by weight), although the amoung varies among species and individuals. It is extracted from sweet or sour whey. The name comes from lacte, the latin word for milk, plus the -ose ending to name sugars.
Astaxanthin, which is part of the carotenoid family, is thought to be the most potent antioxidant nature has to offer, and mounting research suggests it has broad-spectrum, system-wide health benefits.
It's derived from Haematococcus microalgae, which produces astaxanthin as a protective mechanism to shield the fragile algae from harsh ultraviolet (UV) light and other environmental stressors.
Astaxanthin's benefits are so numerous, I've written several articles to cover its activities, from radiation protection, to eye, brain, lung and heart health.
Other health benefits noted in a scientific review published in Molecular Nutrition and Food Research in 2011 included the prevention and treatment of: "cancers … metabolic syndrome, diabetes, diabetic nephropathy … gastrointestinal diseases, liver diseases … male infertility and HgCl₂-induced acute renal failure."
Importantly, astaxanthin is a very potent anti-inflammatory, making it useful for virtually any inflammatory condition, including joint problems such as rheumatoid arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome and tennis elbow.
It's also been shown to improve athletic performance, in part by ameliorating exercise-induced fatigue. It has broad versatility and exceptional safety, even at extremely high doses.
What Makes Astaxanthin So Unique?
Astaxanthin is related to beta-carotene, lutein and canthaxanthin. However, its unique molecular structure makes it both more potent and unique than other carotenoids.
For example, astaxanthin has 550 times stronger antioxidant power than vitamin E, and is 6,000 times more potent than vitamin C. Other key differences that sets astaxanthin apart from other carotenoids include the following five features:
•Like other antioxidants, astaxanthin donates electrons to neutralize free radicals.
However, while this free electron donation depletes most other antioxidants, astaxanthin has a massive surplus that allows it to remain active far longer — at least one order of magnitude longer than most other antioxidants.
The astaxanthin also remains intact, meaning there are no chemical reactions to break it down, which is what occurs in most other antioxidants.
•Another major difference is in the number of free radicals it can handle. Most antioxidants, such as vitamins C, E and various others, can typically handle only one free radical at a time.
Astaxanthin can address multiple free radicals simultaneously, in some cases more than 19 at the same time. It does this by forming an electron cloud around the molecule. This is known as the electron dislocation resonance.
When free radicals try to steal electrons from the astaxanthin molecule, they're simply absorbed into and neutralized by this electron cloud, all at once.
•One of astaxanthin's most unique features is its ability to protect both water- and fat-soluble parts of the cell. Carotenoids are typically divided into water-soluble or fat-soluble, but astaxanthin belongs to an in-between group that can interface between both water and fat.
This means the astaxanthin molecule can affect and expand the biolipid membrane of ALL cells. It's not simply floating around in your bloodstream; it actually integrates into the cellular membrane.
This includes the mitochondrial membranes of your heart cells, which is one of the reasons it's so beneficial for your heart. Since mitochondrial health is a key factor in aging, supporting mitochondrial health is also one of the primary strategies to help slow down the overall aging process.
It also has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, which is part of its neuroprotective ability.
•Another key feature is that it cannot function as a pro-oxidant. Many antioxidants will act as pro-oxidants (meaning they cause rather than combat oxidation) when present in sufficient concentrations.
This is one of the reasons why you don't want to go overboard taking too many antioxidant supplements. Astaxanthin, on the other hand, does not function as a pro-oxidant, even when present in high amounts, which makes it both safer and more beneficial.
•Astaxanthin acts on at least five different inflammation pathways, making it a very potent anti-inflammatory, and maintains balance within the system.
Astaxanthin Helps Protect Your Skin From the Inside Out
Well over 100 studies demonstrate the safety of astaxanthin, even at mega-doses as high as 500 milligrams (mg) per day. About the only side effect ever documented at higher doses is the possibility of developing a slight reddening of the skin, which most people tend to find attractive.
Astaxanthin is also very beneficial for skin health in general, as it helps protect against UV (sun) damage, increases skin elasticity, reduces fine wrinkles and improves the moisture level in the skin.
When it comes to UV radiation protection, astaxanthin specifically helps protect against UV-induced cell death.
Unlike topical sun block, astaxanthin does not actually block UV rays, so it doesn't prevent UVB from converting into vitamin D in your skin; it simply protects your skin against damage. This protective effect is so potent studies even show it helps protect against:
•Total body irradiation, primarily by scavenging intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reducing cell apoptosis (programmed cell death
•Burn-wound progression, by reducing oxidative stress-induced inflammation and mitochondrial-related apoptosis
How Astaxanthin Benefits Your Heart and Cardiovascular System
Quite a few studies have focused on astaxanthin's impact on heart and cardiovascular health, showing it can be extremely beneficial in this area.
For example, in one double-blind, placebo-controlled study,15 people who took 12 milligrams (mg) of astaxanthin per day for eight weeks had a 20 percent decrease in levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), which is a marker for heart disease.
CRP is essentially an indicator of systemic inflammation in your body, and lower levels tend to be associated with a reduced risk of not only heart disease but many other chronic health problems as well.
Needless to say, a 20 percent decrease in CRP in just two months is a rather dramatic reduction in disease risk, and one that few if any drugs can match.
According to Gerald Cysewski, Ph.D., a former assistant professor at the Department of Chemical Engineering at UC Santa Barbara and founder of Cyanotech, the first company to produce natural astaxanthin, studies have also shown astaxanthin protects your heart and cardiovascular system by:
•Improving blood flow
•Decreasing blood pressure
•Improving blood chemistry by increasing high density lipoprotein (HDL cholesterol), lowering low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and decreasing triglycerides
•Decreasing oxidation of LDLs that contributes to arterial plaque buildup
The Neuroprotective Effects of Astaxanthin
More than a dozen studies also show astaxanthin protects your neurons and can slow the effects of age-related cognitive decline and psychomotor function decline.16
In one study, they found people taking either 6 or 12 mg of astaxanthin per day had significantly decreased accumulation of phospholipid hydroperoxides (PLOOH), which is a marker for dementia. It may therefore also have therapeutic benefit against Alzheimer's.
In another double-blind, placebo-controlled study done in Japan, elderly volunteers with age-related forgetfulness improved both their cognition scores and psychomotor function/coordination after taking 12 mg of astaxanthin for 12 weeks.
A number of animal studies have even shown that astaxanthin can drastically limit the damage caused by a stroke, when consumed PRIOR to the stroke — which brings us to the issue of absorption. It takes approximately 12 to 19 hours for astaxanthin to reach its maximum level in your bloodstream. After that, it decays over a three- to six-hour period.
This means you need to take it at least one day ahead of time to ensure tissue saturation. That said, if you're using it for, say, sun or radiation protection, your best bet is to take it consistently for a few weeks beforehand, to allow it to build up in your system.
Astaxanthin Is a Potent Protector of Vision
Many studies have also investigated astaxanthin's effect on eye health. Some of the early work was done in France, where they confirmed that astaxanthin can cross the blood-retinal barrier, thereby providing potent anti-inflammatory protection to your eye and retina. Studies suggest it may help protect against a variety of eye-related problems, including:
Age-related macular degeneration (ARMD)
Cataracts
Inflammatory eye diseases (i.e., retinitis, iritis, keratitis, and scleritis)
Retinal arterial occlusion and venous occlusion
Cystoid macular edema
Diabetic retinopathy
Glaucoma
Importantly, astaxanthin appears to be a potent way to both prevent and treat ARMD, which is the most common cause of blindness among the elderly. As previously reported by Life Extension Magazine:
"The human retina naturally contains the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, molecules closely related to astaxanthin. Supplementation with all three carotenoids (astaxanthin 4 mg/day, lutein 10 mg/day, zeaxanthin 1 mg/day) has been shown to improve visual acuity and contrast detection in people with early age-related macular degeneration.18
In laboratory studies, astaxanthin supplementation protects retinal cells against oxidative stress and significantly reduces the area of destructive new blood vessel growth on retinas, a hallmark of advanced macular degeneration.19,20 Studies of patients with age-related macular degeneration reveal significant improvements in retinal electrical outputs following supplementation with astaxanthin and other carotenoids.
Glaucoma, an increase in the pressure of fluid inside the eyeball, eventually results in retinal cell death from oxidant damage and loss of blood flow. Astaxanthin restores retinal parameters to normal in eyes with experimentally-induced glaucoma."
Since astaxanthin is far more powerful an antioxidant than both lutein and zeaxanthin, many researchers believe it to be the most effective antioxidant ever discovered for eye health.
Specifically, astaxanthin has been shown to ameliorate or prevent light-induced damage, photoreceptor cell damage, ganglion cell damage and damage to the neurons of the inner retinal layers. Astaxanthin also helps maintain appropriate eye pressure levels that are already within the normal range, and supports your eyes' energy levels and visual acuity.
Anti-Cancer Effects Exerted by Astaxanthin
More recent studies have also delved into astaxanthin's effects on cancer. Both in vivo and in vitro preclinical anti-tumor effects have been demonstrated in various cancer models. According to a study published in 2015, astaxanthin:
"… exerts its anti-proliferative, anti-apoptosis and anti-invasion influence via different molecules and pathways including signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3), nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells (NF-κB) and peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ). Hence, [astaxanthin] shows great promise as chemotherapeutic agents in cancer."
In animal studies, astaxanthin has been shown to:
•Reduce the growth of transplanted mammary tumors
•Suppress liver carcinogenesis
•Inhibit potentially tumor-promoting polyamines in skin following UVA and UVB exposure (thereby reducing risk of skin cancer)
•Reduce incidence and proliferation of chemically-induced cancer of the urinary bladder, oral cavity and colon
Some of the proposed mechanisms of action include antioxidant activity, immune function enhancement and gene expression regulation. Also, as noted by Cyanotech in its "Astaxanthin and Cancer Chemoprevention" paper:
"Effective cell-[to]-cell communication through gap junctions is deficient in many human tumors, and its restoration tends to decrease tumor cell proliferation. Several retinoids and carotenoids are now known to enhance gap junctional communication between cells ... This stimulation of gap junctional communication occurs as a result of a dose-dependent increase in the connexin 43 protein, via up-regulation of the connexin 43 gene."
Astaxanthin Offers a Cornucopia of Health Benefits
Astaxanthin is likely one of the most useful supplements available, capable of tackling and preventing a host of health problems. It's one I regularly take and one I would not want to be without.
If you decide to give astaxanthin a try, I recommend starting with 4 mg per day, and working your way up to about 8 mg per day — or more if you're an athlete or suffering from chronic inflammation. Taking your astaxanthin supplement with a small amount of healthy fat, such as butter, coconut oil, TMC oil or eggs, will optimize its absorption.
Krill oil supplements also contain high quality animal-based omega-3 fat in combination with naturally-occurring astaxanthin, albeit at lower levels than what you'll get from an astaxanthin supplement. Different krill products have varying concentrations of astaxanthin, so check your label.

Dengue fever is passed on by a mosquito bit, mostly the Aedes aegypti mosquito (or “tiger mosquito”). There are four types of the dengue virus, and the infection causes a wide range of symptoms, including fever, headache, pain behind the eyes, muscle and joint pain, and rash. People infected with dengue often also experience long-term fatigue.
Dengue occasionally develops into a life-threatening form (known as severe dengue), which causes abdominal pain and vomitting, breathing difficulty and a decrease in of blood platelets that can lead to internal bleeding.
ABOUT 2.5% OF THOSE INFECTED BY SEVERE DENGUE DIE, AND THERE IS NO CURE FOR THE INFECTION.
Many people infected by the virus a first time show few or no symptoms, but they can still contribute to the transmission of the virus if bitten by a mosquito.
Having been infected once does not protect you from the virus. In many cases, the second time you get dengue, the symptoms are more severe.
WHERE IS IT?
Dengue is the fastest-growing mosquito-borne viral infection, and its impact today is 30 times greater than 50 years ago.
As recently as the 1970s, less than 10 countries had reported epidemics of severe dengue. These days, dengue is present in over 150 countries.
While most reported cases are in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Western Pacific, dengue also is present in many African countries. And it is spreading to Europe, as well as in the USA, and China.
Who is affected and who is most at risk?
The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that about 40% of the world’s population is at risk of being infected with dengue. All age groups are at risk.
What can be done to fight dengue?
Many governments are already doing a lot to fight dengue. Current efforts focus on prevention, such as using insecticides or reducing potential egg-laying habitats for dengue mosquitoes. Various organizations are also making progress in terms of immunization, with the most advanced vaccine candidate soon to be introduced in endemic countries.
However, this is not enough. In fact, the World Health Organization (WHO) and other health organizations such as the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent societies (IFRC) call for a globally coordinated and integrated approach to addressing the issue, which risks becoming a global pandemic.
In 2012, the WHO issued a Global strategy for the control of dengue, with specific objectives to reduce mortality by 50% (2020), reduce morbidity by 25% (2020) and to estimate the true burden of the disease (2015). See the WHO report.
The strategy relies on five technical elements: diagnosis and case management; integrated surveillance and outbreak preparedness; sustainable vector control; future vaccine implementation; and research.
In order for this to be achieved, nations and organizations must work together in implementing a cross-border, sustainable approach to controlling the burden of dengue.
In the Philippines, we find a solution for treating patients with dengue. We let them take Complete Phyto-energizer.
Here are some testimonials.
The kid was infected with dengue fever and was confined in the hospital. She had high fever and vomiting blood. With the continuous taking of Complete Phyto-energizer her platelet count increased.
Here's the kid. She is now okay. Alive and kicking.
