 +===== Astraxanthin =====
 +
 +Astaxanthin is a red pigment and potent antioxidant that belongs to a group of chemicals called carotenoids. It is naturally found in various aquatic organisms, including algae, salmon, trout, krill, shrimp, and lobster. The primary source for its commercial production is the microalgae *Haematococcus pluvialis*.
 +
 +==== Health Benefits ====
 +Astaxanthin is known for its numerous potential health benefits, which include:
 +
 +  - **Antioxidant Properties**: It is one of the most powerful antioxidants, helping to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in the body.
 +  - **Eye Health**: Astaxanthin may support eye health by protecting against damage from UV light and reducing the risk of eye diseases.
 +  - **Skin Health**: It can improve skin elasticity and hydration, protect against sun damage, and reduce wrinkles.
 +  - **Brain Health**: Astaxanthin may improve cognitive function and support brain health by crossing the blood-brain barrier and reducing inflammation.
 +  - **Heart Health**: It can help lower cholesterol levels and improve overall cardiovascular health.
 +
 +==== Sources and Dosage ====
 +You can obtain astaxanthin from dietary sources such as wild-caught salmon, krill, algae, red trout, lobster, crab, shrimp, and crawfish. It is also available as a supplement, typically in capsule form. The recommended dosage ranges from 4 to 8 milligrams per day, but higher doses have been studied for specific health benefits.
 +
 +==== Safety and Side Effects====
 +Astaxanthin is generally safe when consumed in recommended amounts from food sources or supplements. Some mild side effects reported with high doses include increased skin pigmentation, altered hormone levels, and gastrointestinal issues. It is advisable to consult a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication.
 +
 +==== Storage and Disposal====
 +Store astaxanthin supplements in a cool, dry place, and keep them out of reach of children. Follow disposal instructions on the packaging or consult a pharmacist for safe disposal methods.

 +===== Strophanthin=====
 +
 +Strophanthin, also known as ouabain, is a cardiac glycoside derived from the seeds of the *Strophanthus* plant, native to Africa. It has been traditionally used for treating heart conditions, particularly in Germany, for several decades.
 +
 +==== Uses and Benefits====
 +Strophanthin is primarily used to treat heart failure and angina pectoris. It works by improving the metabolism of the heart muscle and reducing the buildup of lactic acid, which can lead to heart attacks. Notably, strophanthin taken orally does not increase the strength of the heart's contraction (positive inotropy) as it does when administered intravenously, making it safer for long-term use.
 +
 +==== Safety and Side Effects====
 +While effective, strophanthin can be toxic if not used correctly. Potential side effects include nausea, vomiting, and heart rhythm disturbances. It is crucial to use strophanthin under medical supervision to avoid these risks. In the United States, it is not commonly used but can be specially ordered from pharmacies.
 +
 +====Historical and Recent Research====
 +Historically, strophanthin has been a subject of interest since the 1970s. Dr. Kern, a German doctor, proposed that heart attacks were due to metabolic acidosis rather than coronary artery disease, suggesting that strophanthin could neutralize lactic acid buildup in the heart. Recent studies have supported this theory, indicating that oral strophanthin can effectively prevent heart attacks without causing adverse effects associated with intravenous administration.
 +
 +Strophanthin remains a promising treatment for heart disease, especially in Germany, where it is used by many doctors. For further information and specific dosage guidelines, consulting with a healthcare professional is recommended.
