Superb Antioxidant Capacity
Astaxanthin has been proven as one of the most potent natural antioxidants, with an antioxidant capacity 550 times that of vitamin E and 10 times that of β-carotene.
Mechanism of Action
It functions by scavenging free radicals and singlet oxygen, quenching ultraviolet-induced free radical chain reactions, thereby protecting cell membranes, DNA, and proteins from oxidative damage.
Anti-inflammatory and Immunomodulatory Effects
- Anti-inflammatory: Suppresses the release of inflammatory cytokines (e.g., TNF-α, IL-6), alleviating chronic inflammation such as arthritis and gastroenteritis.
- Immunomodulatory: Enhances the activity of T cells and B cells, promotes immunoglobulin production, and elevates the body's defense against pathogens.
1. Health and Medical Fields
- Eye Protection:
Prevents retinal oxidative damage, reducing the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. Its molecular structure absorbs blue light, minimizing photosensitizing cell damage.
- Cardiovascular Health:
Inhibits the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lowering the risk of atherosclerosis; regulates blood lipids and pressure, improving blood circulation.
- Neuroprotection:
Penetrates the blood-brain barrier, protecting brain cells from oxidative damage, and preventing neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
- Sports and Joint Support:
Alleviates exercise fatigue, reduces oxidative damage to joints, and enhances muscle recovery.
2. Food Industry
- Natural Pigment:
Provides vibrant red color to foods like salmon, shrimp, crab, and egg yolks, enhancing their commercial value.
- Antioxidant Preservation:
Extends food shelf life, maintains color and flavor, and is used in fat-containing foods such as oils and ice cream.
3. Cosmetics
- Anti-aging and Sun Protection:
Reduces UV damage to the skin, inhibits photoaging, and lightens age spots and wrinkles.
- Barrier Repair:
Promotes collagen synthesis, improves skin elasticity and dryness, and strengthens barrier function.
4. Industrial Applications
- Material Protection:
Acts as a UV absorber in coatings, plastics, and other materials, enhancing their anti-aging properties.
- Feed Additive:
Enhances the coloration of aquatic animals (e.g., salmon, shrimp, crab), boosting their disease resistance and nutritional value.
Safety and Application Recommendations
- Source Selection:
Prioritize natural astaxanthin (e.g., extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis) to avoid potential contamination from synthetic products.
- Dosage Control:
The recommended daily intake should not exceed 12 mg (as suggested by the European Food Safety Authority), as excessive intake may increase liver metabolic burden.
- Synergistic Effects:
Combined use with vitamins C and E can enhance antioxidant efficacy.
