Astaxanthin Powder

Product Details

Astaxanthin is a red carotenoid, a pigment produced by plants, fungi and bacteria, but most prevalent in algae. In 1970, an organic chemist, British professor Basil Charles Weedon discovered astaxanthin when he used magnetic resonance spectroscopy to map structures of the lipid soluble pigments. Animals, including humans, must obtain these essential pigments for health. Similar to beta-carotene, astaxanthin is a nutritional component, but also is used commercially to improve color.

Function

It can significantly improve the body's immunity. Because it can non-specifically bind to skeletal muscle, it can effectively remove free radicals generated by exercise in muscle cells and strengthen aerobic metabolism, so it has a significant anti-fatigue effect. It is the only carotenoid that can pass through the blood-brain barrier and has a real anti-aging effect. Effective anti-oxidation is the basis of all beauty activities, due to its super anti-oxidant effect

Application

Astaxanthin is an extremely precious healthy raw material that can be used to develop natural and healthy products that enhance immunity, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, eye and brain health, and regulate blood lipids. At present, it is mainly used as the raw material of human advanced health food and medicine; feed additives for aquaculture (mainly salmon, trout and salmon at present) and poultry farming; cosmetic additives.
