About Us
Sam Shepherd started Valasta in 2018, in the USA, following 8 years of research into the benefits of micro algae on chronic disease, as well as general health, fitness, anti-ageing. As an algae research scientist and biochemical engineer, Sam began studying the effects of astaxanthin on his own cancer, after he developed leukaemia in 2000. From his own personal studies, he hoped that astaxanthin could potentially offer a solution to his own blood cancer. There are also over 1000 independent medical and research papers published by the national institute of health on astaxanthin. These have been summarised in easy to read laymenβs terms and categorised into sections, detailing over 35 individual ailments and general health benefits, from universities and research departments in over 25 different countries. read more β¦
Although astaxanthin is readily available from many different producers, most of the research efforts were focused at developing a version which is the most highly absorbable. Sam experimented with many different methods in order to get the astaxanthin molecules to be mixed at a molecular level with the fat molecules within the olive oil mixture. Without this the fat and the astaxanthin separate not much actual astaxanthin makes it past the stomach acid. He also experimented with different dose for individual health requirements. The result is Valasta, which uses unique electromagnetic pulse technology to address the problem of absorbability. This is the Valasta difference.
Thankfully Sam has been cancer free for many years now. Astaxanthin is clearly a very potent anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory and can successfully target free radicals which can have a huge boost for oneβs health, it also has very beneficial effects on the bodyβs actual cells themselves.
