Astaxanthin (CAS: 472-61-7) is produced by microscopic small plants: the micro-alga Haematococcus pluvialis. Haematococcus algae can contain up to 30g of astaxanthin per kg dried algae. These micro-alga are eaten by marine animals including fish, crawfish, crabs and lobster. The Astaxanthin is responsible for the red colour of these animals. Another commercial source is from the ink coloured yeast Xanthophyllomyces dendrorhous.
Astaxanthin is a kind of lutein, the most widely distributed in the animal kingdom. It has unique coloring function, also can promote antibody production, enhancing animal immunity. Astaxanthin powder has excellent antioxidant and healthcare benefits, and it is helpful to improve immunity and scavenge free radicals. On the aspects of the antioxidant and scavenging free radicals, the ability is stronger than β-carotene( (10 times).
Astaxanthin powder is used in food and dietary supplements as coloring agent, preserving agent and nutritional ingredient; it can be used in feed as additives; it can also be used in cosmetics for skin care; besides, it can be used in healthcare products.
Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-carcinogenic agent that is gaining increasing attention due to its potential health benefits. Astaxanthin is a kind of very potential carotenoid additives, and has a broad prospect in food, feed, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and other fields.
1. Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant. The free radical scavenging activity of astaxanthin protects lipids from peroxidation and reduces oxidative damage of LDL-cholesterol (thereby reducing arterial plaque formation), cells, cell membranes, mitochondrial membranes. Astaxanthin increases strength and endurance.
2. Astaxanthin seems to improve the immune system by increasing the number of antibody producing cells. Astaxanthin enhances antibody production by exerting actions on T-cells and T-helper cells.
3. Astaxanthin is used to treat neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
4. Astaxanthin protects the eyes and skin from sun radiation damage by quenching singlet and triplet oxygen. Studies with rats show that astaxanthin reduces retinal injury.
5. Studies have shown the anti-cancer effects of astaxanthin in rodents. The inhibitory effect of astaxanthin on cancer is stronger han that of beta-carotene.
Astaxanthin (CAS: 472-61-7) is a powerful antioxidant compared to other eye health ingredients. The available data show that it can act on the oxygen free radicals of singlet oxygen molecules and convert them into heat energy, and can also work synergistically with other carotenoids (such as lutein and zeaxanthin) to provide stronger light absorption across a wider wavelength than other carotenoids. Whether it is structural specificity or health benefits, natural astaxanthin is becoming a "potential" raw material for the eye health market.
Improves depth perception; Improves eye fatigue; Also can prevent eye fatigue; Increases retinal capillary blood flow; Increases blood flow velocity to the eyes; Prevents eye strain; Improves eye accommodation (adjustment of the lens that allows it to focus); Reduces blurred vision; Reduces eye soreness; Prevents eye dryness; Prevents diplopia (double vision); Dosage range 4mg to 8mg per day.
1. Astaxanthin is used for treating Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and "brain attack" (stroke),
2. Astaxanthin is also used for treating high cholesterol, and an eye condition called age-related macular degeneration(AMD).
3. Astaxanthin is also used for preventing cancer.
4. Astaxanthin is the most powerful anti-oxidant.
1. Natural Astaxanthin can be used to develop immunity enhancement, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, eye and brain health, lipid regulation and other aspects.
2. Applied in food field, it is mainly used as food additives for pigment and health care.
3. Applied in animal feeds field, it is used as an new animal feed additive to impart coloration, including farm-raised salmon and egg yolks.
4. Applied in cosmetic field, cosmetic additives. It is mainly used to Antioxidant and UV protection. For its high performance antioxygenic property, it can protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation damage and effectively reduce melanin deposition and the formation of freckles to keep skin healthy. At the same time, as an ideal natural coloring agent for the lipstick can enhance the radiant, and to prevent the ultraviolet injury, without any stimulation, safe.
5. Applied in health supplements. Currently, the primary use for humans is as a raw materials of human advanced health food and medicine. Research shows that due to astaxanthin's potent antioxidant activity, it may be beneficial in cardiovascular, immune, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases.Some sources have demonstrated its potential as an anti-cancer agent. Research supports the assumption that it protects body tissues from oxidative damage.It also crosses the blood-brain barrier, which makes it available to the eye, brain and central nervous system to alleviate oxidative stress that contributes to ocular, and neurodegenerative diseases such as glaucoma.
6. Astaxanthin can significantly improve the immunity of human body, because its non-specific binding with skeletal muscle, can effectively remove free radicals generated by exercise in muscle cells, strengthen aerobic metabolism, so it has a significant anti-fatigue effect.
7. Astaxanthin is the only carotenoid that can cross the blood-brain barrier and has real anti-aging effects and effective antioxidants.
