Skin

Astaxanthin revitalizes photoaged skin

Photoaging occurs when the skin gets attacked by the free radicals produced by UV rays, pollution, stress, and poor nutrition. Natural astaxanthin revitalizes photoaged skin by quenching free radicals present in all layers of the skin. It reduces the size of wrinkles and lightens age spots by inhibiting the overproduction and oxidation of melanin in the skin.

Heart

Astaxanthin prevents cardiovascular diseases

Astaxanthin prevents the occurrence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease by reducing lipid deposits, lipid peroxidation, and vascular inflammation and increasing capillary circulation. Tocopherol, an organic compound, along with asthaxanthin has antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and anti-atherogenic qualities that prevent cardiovascular diseases.

Eyes

Astaxanthin has protective effect on eyes

Oxidative stress leads to a wide range of eye diseases such as cataract, age-related macular degeneration, and retinopathies. Astaxanthin can prevent light-induced retinal damage and may improves the quality of vision by preserving the focus of the ciliary muscle. Further, its antioxidant property might have a protective effect on eyes.

Muscles

Astaxanthin may enhance muscle performance and strength

Excessive production of free radicals during heavy exercise leads to oxidative stress that causes inflammation, fatigue, and soreness of muscle. Astaxanthin can enhance muscle performance and strength by protecting muscles from reactive oxygen particles. It also bolsters power output and controls muscle fatigue and soreness.
