Ingredients: Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is a natural keto-carotenoid known as one of the most powerful antioxidants. Its unique structure with an extended chain of conjugated double bonds provides it with an excellent ability to neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress.

Natural origin and sources

Astaxanthin is extracted from microalgae (Haematococcus pluvialis), which produce it as a protection against intense sunlight and adverse environmental conditions. It can also be found in various marine organisms such as salmon, trout, krill, shrimp and other crustaceans, which get their characteristic red hue directly from astaxanthin.

Biological activity and benefits:

• Super antioxidant – up to 600 times more potent than vitamin C and 10 times more effective than other carotenoids in preventing lipid peroxidation,
• Anti-inflammatory effect – helps reduce inflammatory processes by inhibiting the release of cytokines,
• Skin health and beauty – improves skin elasticity, promotes moisture retention and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles,
• UV protection – helps neutralize oxidative stress caused by UV rays and protects against premature skin aging,
• Eye and brain health – protects the retina from oxidative damage and supports the functioning of the nervous system.

Use and application

Astaxanthin is widely used in dietary supplements, foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Its lipid-soluble properties make it ideal for oil-based formulations in skin care products.

Astaxanthin is a natural, safe and effective way to protect and improve health, offering one of nature’s most powerful forms of antioxidant protection.
