Oxidative stress impairs the function of cells and tissues in the body, increasing their susceptibility to inflammatory processes, infections and the associated risks to health and aging of the body. Astaxanthin has powerful antioxidant properties that protect cells from free radicals and damage caused by oxidative stress. It is a fat-soluble carotenoid pigment with a distinct, brilliant red color. It is recognized worldwide for its high antioxidant capacity and is often called the “king of carotenoids”.
Natural Factors Astaxanthin is a source of antioxidants that help protect against oxidative damage caused by free radicals. This high-quality product contains 100% natural astaxanthin extracted from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. Each easy-to-take softgel capsule contains astaxanthin in a flaxseed oil base for better absorption. Natural astaxanthin has been confirmed in numerous scientific studies to be a more biologically active alternative to synthetic varieties.
In a systematic review and meta-analysis of 12 randomized, controlled trials, participants who took astaxanthin for at least one week experienced measurable antioxidant effects. The benefits of taking astaxanthin included reductions in biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation, such as blood concentrations of malondialdehyde (MDA), isoprostane (ISP), and interleukin-6, as well as increased activity of the antioxidant enzyme superoxide dismutase.
In a randomized, placebo-controlled study, participants with blood sugar disorders took 10 mg of astaxanthin daily for 12 weeks, while also taking their usual blood sugar medications. Compared to placebo, participants who took astaxanthin showed a significant increase in the activity of two antioxidant enzymes, SOD and catalase, by 17% and 9%, respectively. In addition, the activity of Nrf2, a protein responsible for regulating the body's antioxidant response and detoxification processes, doubled compared to the placebo group.
A placebo-controlled study investigated the anti-inflammatory effects of astaxanthin on photoaging of the skin by environmental factors. It was found that women who took 6 mg or 12 mg of astaxanthin daily maintained good skin condition throughout the study, while women who took a placebo showed signs of deterioration, such as increased wrinkle depth and decreased hydration.
