Taking Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is a relatively common supplement. Many people choose to take astaxanthin in order to improve their physical fitness, enhance their immunity, and free themselves from various diseases or adverse symptoms. Generally speaking, eating astaxanthin can protect the eyes and central nervous system, prevent ultraviolet radiation, prevent cardiovascular disease, enhance immunity, and relieve fatigue!

1. Protect eyes and central nervous system

Studies have shown that astaxanthin can easily pass through the blood-brain barrier and cell membranes, and can effectively prevent retinal oxidation and damage to photoreceptor cells, especially retinal macular degeneration, and the effect is more significant than lutein. It protects the central nervous system, especially the brain, and effectively treats central nervous system injuries such as ischemia-reperfusion injury, spinal cord injury, and Parkinson's syndrome.

2. Anti-ultraviolet radiation

Ultraviolet radiation is an important cause of epidermal photoaging and skin cancer. The strong antioxidant property of astaxanthin may make it a potential photoprotectant, which can effectively remove free radicals that cause skin aging, protect cell membranes and mitochondrial membranes from oxidative damage, and prevent skin photoaging.

3. Prevent cardiovascular disease

Studies have shown that astaxanthin has the effect of significantly increasing HDL and lowering LDL in the body, with HDL increasing from the original 49.7±3.6 mg/dL to 66.5±5.1 mg/dL. Therefore, it is speculated that astaxanthin can reduce the oxidation of apolipoproteins and can be used to prevent arteriosclerosis, coronary heart disease and ischemic brain damage.

4. Enhance immunity

Astaxanthin can significantly affect the immune function of animals. In the presence of antigens, it can significantly promote the ability of spleen cells to produce antibodies, enhance the function of T cells, and stimulate the production of immunoglobulins in the body. Astaxanthin has a strong activity in inducing cell division and has an important immunomodulatory effect.

5. Relieve fatigue and enhance body metabolism

Astaxanthin can act as an antioxidant to inhibit the oxidative damage of free radicals to the body. In addition, oral astaxanthin can enhance aerobic metabolism, increase muscle strength and muscle endurance, quickly relieve sports fatigue, and reduce delayed muscle pain after strenuous exercise.
