Astaxanthin is a sunscreen, a muscle performance enhancing anti-oxidant, and powerful anti-inflammatory and analgesic, with immune boosting effects.
Uvex protects the skin by directly absorbing sunlight. Sunlight contains Ultraviolet A (UVA), and Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation that is the direct cause of skin damage including wrinkling, roughening, brown age spots, and skin cancer including melanoma. UVA is the principal cause of wrinkling and cancer, but does not cause sunburn, and is not blocked by most sunscreens. Astaxanthin is one of the most effective UVA blockers known.
Risk of skin cancer and immune supression is known to be higher in outdoor sports, particularly runners and anyone who spends many hours playing, training, and competing outdoors.
Uvex is formulated into a capsule that is taken once a day by mouth. Uvex concentrates in the skin to protect it from burning. Inital sun protection begins within about 2 hours and take about 1 week to reach peak sunscreen effect.
Uvex skin protection is continuous 24 hours a day. It does not wash off, does not make your skin oily or greasy, and does not have to be frequently reapplied. Using standard SPF (Sun Protection Factor) as a guide, Uvex can provide a SPF of 10 to 30 depending on your body and skin type.

Muscle strength and athletic performance is significantly enhanced by Uvex. Many athletes take advantage of up to 20% increase in muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility.
Uvex is classified by the FDA as a food supplement. It is available to anyone as an over the counter product and is not "banned" from competition. Since it carries such a significant advantage in performance, most competitive athletes still keep it a secret.
