Why is Astaxanthin So Popular?
A recent study by Brandon K. Harvey, a professor at the National Institutes of Health, found that astaxanthin can significantly reduce the damage caused by cerebral infarction. Astaxanthin can effectively block oxidative stress in the brain, reduce glutamate release, and inhibit cell apoptosis. Several Japanese university hospital pharmacy laboratory studies have shown that natural astaxanthin can consume human triglycerides, increase high-density lipoprotein HDL and adiponectin. Global health products companies have also launched about 200 kinds of astaxanthin soft, hard capsules, oral liquid health food. At present, astaxanthin is mainly used in the market as health food, or in some cosmetics or facial masks. Astaxanthin comes into play when it comes to skin problems such as working late nights, eating irregularly, and getting sunburned by UV rays. Here's a closer look at the effects of astaxanthin.
What is the astaxanthin?
Astaxanthin is widely found in nature, such as shrimp, crab, fish, algae, yeast and bird feathers, oysters, mandarin fish, algae, is one of the main carotenoids in Marine organisms, like other carotenoids, astaxanthin belongs to a fat soluble and water-soluble pigment. It is also the highest grade product of carotenoid synthesis. It is dark pink. It binds to proteins in the body to form a bluish blue color, hence the name astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is the most powerful antioxidant found in nature, hundreds of times more powerful than many other dietary supplements such as vitamins, carotene, natto, anthocyanins, and lycopene.
What are the benefits of astaxanthin and who should/shouldn't take?
A. Protect the eyes and central nervous system. Studies have shown that astaxanthin can effectively prevent retinal oxidation and photosensitive cell damage, especially the retinal macular degeneration effect is more significant than lutein, astaxanthin can supplement the retinol needed by the eyes, and play a protective role in the eyes. It also has a protective effect on the central nervous system, especially on the brain, and effectively treats ischemia, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's syndrome and other central nervous system injuries.
B. Anti-ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation is an important cause of epidermal photoaging and skin cancer. Anti-mutation, that is, anti-cancer effect, astaxanthin can prevent cancer to a certain extent. The strong antioxidant properties of astaxanthin may make it a potential photoprotective agent, which can effectively remove free radicals that cause skin aging, protect cell membrane and mitochondrial membrane from oxidative damage, and prevent skin photoaging. Astaxanthin can also improve inflammation, infection, joint pain, etc. caused by free radicals.
C. Prevention of cardiovascular disease. Studies have shown that astaxanthin can reduce the oxidation of apolipoprotein, and can be used to prevent arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease and ischemic brain injury. By reducing the inflammatory response of macrophages to reduce the formation of atherosclerotic plaque, increase the stability of atherosclerotic plaque, reduce plaque rupture, improve blood flow and other ways to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases.
D. Enhance immunity. Astaxanthin can significantly affect the immune function of animals. In the presence of antigen, it can significantly promote the ability of spleen cells to produce antibodies and stimulate the production of immunoglobulin in the body. Astaxanthin has strong activity in inducing cell division and plays an important role in immunomodulation. It can also increase the absorption of calcium ions by bones and reduce the probability of osteoporosis.
E. Relieve fatigue and enhance body metabolism. Astaxanthin can be used as an antioxidant to inhibit the oxidative damage of free radicals to the body. In addition, oral astaxanthin can also strengthen aerobic metabolism, increase muscle strength and muscle tolerance, quickly relieve exercise fatigue, and reduce delayed muscle pain after strenuous exercise. When the body exercises muscles will release free radicals, these free radicals if not timely treated by antioxidants, will produce oxidative stress, resulting in muscle soreness or muscle tissue damage.
F. Control diabetes and kidney disease. Astaxanthin is the only substance that can effectively prevent diabetic nephropathy damage, prevent free radicals generated by high blood sugar to destroy the basement membrane, fight free radicals of renal tubular epithelial cells, protect the normal transport of glucose and phosphorus in renal tubular cells, and ensure that renal blood flow is not affected.
Suitable population: adolescents and long-term use of computers, mobile phones to work or study, as well as the above mentioned efficacy of the population.
Discomfort group: patients with high uric acid can not take it.
What kinds of the astaxanthin pills do you offer?
We provide 90 capsules of astaxanthin in each bottle. The main ingredients include rhodococcus pluvium (including astaxanthin) , grape seeds, green tea, mulberry, lycopene, and auxiliary ingredients include flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, wheat germ oil, one capsule once a day.
Attentions:
The dosage of natural astaxanthin as an antioxidant should be at least 3mg daily. Long-term sustained as anti-fatigue needs 8-10mg/ day, 2 months effective as a lipid-lowering use needs 10-12mg/ day, generally 2-4 weeks will have a more obvious response, as the relief of jet lag caused by flight 20mg/ day (3-5 days). Generally, pure products are not required for human consumption, but the corresponding time and amount must be ingested to play its role. While it may not feel obvious to some people, the improvement in the lifespan of the cells is significant.
Astaxanthin requires reducing or stopping bad habits such as smoking, staying up late, and drinking too much alcohol during use, which counteracts its antioxidant effects and thus affects its efficacy.
Conclusion:
In general, astaxanthin is very beneficial to human body, people in need can insist on taking, now the research of countries all over the world have confirmed this point. Do not take too little or too much to ensure maximum effect. Of course, health care products can not replace medicine. If you have a serious physical illness, please seek medical attention.
