AstaReal AB's astaxanthin has been utilized for over 25 years to support the performance and recovery of elite sled dogs in competition. Egil Ellis and Helen Lundberg, multiple world champions in the sport, have consistently incorporated the supplement into their dogs' routines.
The collaboration with AstaReal began in the late 1990s with systematic testing aimed at understanding astaxanthin's effects on canine athletic performance and recovery. This evaluation focused on absorption, dosage, and its impact.
Ellis and Lundberg emphasize astaxanthin's contribution to improved muscle recovery and endurance, particularly under high physical strain. They note benefits in muscle oxygenation during intense work, crucial for sprint racing.
The use of astaxanthin in the sport has evolved from an obscure additive to a recognized component of race preparation for many competitors. AstaReal notes that the benefits extend beyond elite athletes to general canine health and puppy development.
