ASTAXANTHIN
It keeps you young and fit in both mind and body…
Astaxanthin is a xanthophyll carotenoid molecule that gives the reddish colour to a variety of organisms such as: microalgae, yeast, salmon, trout, krill, shrimp, crayfish, and some other crustaceans. It is used as a feed supplement for salmon, crabs, shrimp, chicken and eggs at farms across North America. It is the freeing of this pigment that is responsible for lobsters and shrimp turning red when they are cooked. Astaxanthin is a strong antioxidant that has a number of different health benefits.
Antioxidant
Astaxanthin is a strong antioxidant that can protect our cells against free radical damage from pollution, smoke, poor diet, and UV rays from the sun. This protection allows astaxanthin to help prevent and treat eye diseases such as age-related macular degeneration, neurodegenerative conditions, skin diseases and even many different types of cancer. At the same time, this ability helps astaxanthin to protect the skin against the physical signs of aging such as wrinkles and age spots while maintaining moisture levels and smoothness.
Neurologic Benefits
Astaxanthin has been found to be extremely beneficial in a number of neurological concerns. It can be used to help prevent and treat neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's diseases, and has also been shown to help in recovery from stroke. Studies have shown that beta-amyloid (a toxic protein found in the brains of Alzheimer's patients) is also present on red blood cells where it reduced oxygen delivery to tissues. Taking astaxanthin helps to decrease the accumulation of amyloid-beta on red blood cells.
Cardiovascular and Blood Sugar Benefits
Astaxanthin has been found to help reduce cholesterol levels as well as lower the risk of developing metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a disease state that involves central obesity, high blood pressure, poor blood sugar control, and unhealthy cholesterol levels. It is also used to treat diabetes and to help prevent diabetic nephropathy. At the same time, current research has found that astaxanthin protects the heart muscle against permanent damage during a heart attack.
Immune Boosting Benefits
Studies have shown that astaxanthin helps to balance the immune system. It stimulates the infection and cancer fighting components as well as helps to suppress overactive immune responses that cause inflammation. Astaxanthin helps to increase the number of white blood cells which are considered to be responsible for responding attacking and getting rid of infecting organisms. Astaxanthin may also suppress inflammation, especially in allergies and asthma and may help with carpal tunnel syndrome, and arthritis.
Other Benefits
In addition to its health benefits listed above, astaxanthin has shown to be effective in the treatment of: chronic inflammatory diseases, gastrointestinal diseases, liver diseases, and even in some cases of male infertility. Many athletes are beginning to take astaxanthin because it is believed that pure natural astaxanthin can help recovery of muscles, endurance, enhanced strength and improved energy levels.
How can I get More?
Eating a diet that is sufficient in astaxanthin containing fish and shellfish, such as salmon, trout, krill, and shrimp can help to increase your levels of astaxanthin. Astaxanthin for supplementation is most often extracted from microalgae formally called Haematococcus pluvialis and from the waste shells of commercially prepared shrimp. There is no established dosage for astaxanthin, so suggested dosages on the label of each product should be followed.
Important Information
Astaxanthin is used as a feed supplement for many farmed products to impart a yellow-orange colour to the food, such as egg yolks, salmon, etc. The astaxanthin used in these farms is often produced synthetically from petrochemical sources. Supplementation of astaxanthin has not been studied in pregnant or breast-feeding women, so it should be avoided. Astaxanthin should be obtained from food sources instead.
