Antioxidant - Astaxanthin

2022/03/09

In addition to collagen and rosehip extract, many functional ingredients can help "women's wine" products improve the quality of "yourself," such as astaxanthin that we will talk about next.

As an outstanding representative of the "strongest antioxidant on the surface," astaxanthin is an "all-rounder" in improving skin health. In subjects aged 20-50, after taking 12mg of astaxanthin daily for 60 consecutive days, the pores, pigmentation, texture, roughness, acne, pigment, moisture, and UV spots were improved. In addition to skincare, there are more benefits, and the main benefits are as follows:

1. Protection against UV radiation

The potent antioxidant properties of astaxanthin may make it a potential photo protectant, effectively scavenging free radicals that cause skin aging, protecting cell membranes and mitochondrial membranes from oxidative damage, and preventing skin photoaging

2. Prevent cardiovascular disease

Astaxanthin can reduce the oxidation of apolipoprotein and can be used to prevent arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and ischemic brain damage

3. Enhance immunity

Astaxanthin has an intense cell division activity and has acute immunomodulatory effects.

4. Relieve fatigue and enhance body metabolism

Increase muscle strength and muscle tolerance, quickly relieve exercise fatigue, and reduce delayed-onset muscle pain after strenuous exercise.

5. Protect the eyes and central nervous system

Astaxanthin quickly passes through the blood-brain barrier and cell membrane. It can effectively prevent retinal oxidation and photoreceptor cell damage, especially for macular degeneration, more significant than lutein. It has a protective effect on the central nervous system, especially the brain, and effectively treats major jumpy system injuries such as ischemia-reperfusion injury, spinal cord injury, and Parkinson's syndrome.
