Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is currently the most powerful natural antioxidant that actively breaks down free radicals. The preparation contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. Astaxanthin is also a suitable addition to the diet of athletes. It helps to increase endurance and strength, energy levels and reduces fatigue. Astaxanthin is a red dye of the carotene group obtained from the freshwater microalga Haematococcus Pluvialis, which produces it as protection against intense UV radiation (oxidative stress).Astaxanthin also has a unique structure that protects cell membranes in all organs of the body. It thus prevents their premature ageing and damage.

Astaxanthin is up to:

6000x more potent than vitamin C
3000x more potent than resveratrol
800x more potent than coenzyme Q10
560x more potent than the catechins contained in green tea
500x more potent than vitamin E

Immunity boosting and anti-inflammatory effects

Astaxanthin has the effect of boosting immunity. It promotes the production of immunoglobulin and the rapid proliferation of a wide range of immune cells. In addition, this antioxidant helps to reduce the production of substances that are involved in the development of inflammatory processes in the body.

Brain and eyes
Scientific studies also point to a beneficial effect of astaxanthin on the brain. It protects brain cells from damage, improves cognitive function and may help treat the early stages of Alzheimer’s disease.

The effect of this carotenoid on eyesight cannot be neglected either. It protects against UV damage and various diseases, prevents age-related vision problems and supports the prevention and treatment of glaucoma. Especially people working daily with a computer will appreciate the improvement of focusing ability and the alleviation of eye fatigue.

Cardiovascular system
The positive effect on the cardiovascular system cannot go unmentioned. According to research, astaxanthin lowers triglyceride and LDL cholesterol (bad cholesterol) levels in the blood and alleviates oxidation, which is involved in the development of cardiovascular disease. Conversely, it increases HDL (good) cholesterol.

Skin protection and skin rejuvenation
Especially women appreciate another advantage of this active substance – the beneficial effect on the skin. Astaxanthin can not only protect the skin from harmful UV rays and sunburn and accelerate its healing after sun damage, but also improves the overall condition and appearance of the skin. It slows aging, visibly reduces wrinkles and age spots, and increases skin elasticity and hydration. At the same time, it has been found to improve sebum production, making it suitable for acne-prone skin as well. It is for these beneficial effects that it is also used in the manufacture of cosmetic treatment products. According to scientific studies carried out, the best result is achieved by combining internal use with external application.

Sports Performance
Last but not least, astaxanthin has a scientifically supported effect on physical performance. It helps to increase strength, endurance, energy levels, and in turn reduce fatigue. Athletes and physical workers will also appreciate the beneficial effect on speeding up muscle recovery and reducing inflammation. Astaxanthin is thus a popular dietary supplement precisely among athletes.

Because of all these effects, astaxanthin is used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries. On the market we can find various food supplements that combine astaxanthin with other vitamins and active substances for different needs of the body. There are also cosmetic products with this miraculous substance on offer, and the all-natural algae Haematococcus pluvialis itself can be purchased in dried form. Astaxanthin is not only beneficial for humans, but also has a great effect on the health of pets, which is why it is used as an additive in pet food.

However, for all products, we recommend that you study their origin properly before buying them, especially the origin of astaxanthin. We cannot recommend any other astaxanthin than the natural one from the Czech Republic, which ranks at the very top of the world’s production in terms of its quality.
