Astaxanthin, a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment, is a powerful biological antioxidant. Astaxanthin exhibits strong free radical scavenging activity and protects against lipid peroxidation and oxidative damage of LDL-cholesterol, cell membranes, cells, and tissues. Astaxanthin has been the focus of a large and growing number of peer-reviewed scientific publications.

Astaxanthin is able to cross the blood/brain barrier and enter directly into the cells. Once inside, its antioxidant properties help improve the function of these cells in several different ways. It has even been placed on a short list of potential "brain foods".One key feature of this nutrient is its ability to protect the cells from damage and/or cell death in the event of an ischemic attack or stroke. By preventing the buildup of oxidative toxins in the cells, It also was shown to improve production of certain neurotransmitters that are commonly in short supply during such an episode, improving memory and cognitive function. Treated mice were shown to perform better at memory tests involving a maze that they had been through many times before than those who were not treated.In humans, this nutrient was shown to protect cells from the types of neuron damage seen in diseases such as Parkinson's and Alzheimer's. Another study showed that it lowered levels of the metabolite, PLOOH, which has been linked with dementia. This shows that supplementation with this one nutrient can help to prevent the onset of dementia in otherwise healthy patients.
Main Function:
1. With the function of natural food pigment, Astaxanthin has rich nutritional value and good coloring effect.
2. Astaxanthin has excellent oxidation resisting activity, in terms of free radical scavenging activity is 1000 times higher than the natural VE.
3. Astaxanthin can prevent arteriosclerosis and relative diseases.
4. Astaxanthin can be used as anticancer activity to strengthen the functions of immune system.
5. Enhance the health of central nervous system.
6. Intensify energy metabolism of organism.
7. Astaxanthin is used for treating Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and "brain attack" (stroke)
8. Astaxanthin is also used for treating high cholesterol, and an eye condition called age-related macular degeneration(AMD).
9. It is also used for preventing cancer.
Application:
1. Applied in food field, it is mainly used as food additives for pigment and health care.
2. Applied in animal feeds field, it is used as an new animal feed additive to impart coloration, including farm-raised salmon and egg yolks.
3. Applied in pharmaceutical field, it is mainly used to prevent cancer and anti-oxidant.
4. Applied in cosmetic field, it is mainly used to Antioxidant and UV protection.
Recommended Dosage
Around 20 milligrams per day is considered to be a good dose for athletes who experience heavy oxidative stress, or individual with excessive sunlight exposure and pilots facing elevated levels of ionizing radiation. For other people doses between 10~16mg are sufficient.
