Astaxanthin is a critical and valuable molecule with numerous beneficial effects on the human body.
It plays a key role in protecting the skin, eyes, cardiovascular system, and neurological functions; enhancing exercise performance; and regulating immune responses.
With further exploratory research in animal and in-vitro models, the scope of health-related processes influenced by Astaxanthin is expanding. These include regulating gut microbiota, protecting bones, and preventing diabetes and fibrosis.
Astaxanthin is a very powerful antioxidant.
Its ability to protect body cells from free radicals is 6,000 times stronger than Vitamin C and 50 times stronger than Vitamin E.
Additionally, it is known to increase muscle endurance and protect against muscle damage. Scientific studies have shown that Astaxanthin limits exercise-induced skeletal muscle damage in mice. Therefore, Astaxanthin is increasingly used by athletes to enhance performance.
The same properties and molecules that help salmon swim against currents and enhance their endurance are equally beneficial for humans. This finding is well-supported. Astaxanthin achieves this by reducing lactic acid production and storage, decreasing free radicals, and supporting mitochondrial function.
