Organic Astaxanthin Powder 5%: 100g-1kg – Antioxidant, Algae

Organic Astaxanthin Powder 5% is a powerful antioxidant found in the algae Haematococcus pluvialis, which is believed to be up to 10 times more effective than other carotenoids. This means it may be very beneficial to the cardiovascular system and the immune system, while inhibiting inflammation and neurodegenerative disease. Because it can cross the blood-brain barrier it becomes bioavailable to the eye, brain, and central nervous system and it may then alleviate the oxidative stress that contributes to ocular, and neurodegenerative diseases, e.g. glaucoma and Alzheimer’s.

Oxidative stress and inflammation are often connected, as oxidation leads to chronic, low-grade inflammations. Organic astaxanthin powder helps to ease inflammation by balancing your levels of free radicals to reduce oxidative stress. When cells use oxygen to generate energy, they create free radicals as a by-product, which generate oxidative stress. Oxidative stress may damage cell structures, which is believed to speed up the aging process. Some research suggests oxidative stress may be a factor in multiple health conditions, including Alzheimer’s, cancer, and arthritis.

Function

People take the organic astaxanthin powder 5% for a variety of reasons.

1. Antioxidant Protection. Astaxanthin is known for its potent antioxidant properties. It has a higher antioxidant capacity than many other antioxidants, including vitamin C and beta-carotene. Astaxanthin helps neutralize free radicals, reducing oxidative stress and cellular damage throughout the body. Free radicals are unstable molecules that are linked to a number of chronic diseases, including cancer, heart disease, and Alzheimer’s disease.
2. Eye Health. Organic astaxanthin has a particular affinity for the eyes and may support eye health. It crosses the blood-retinal barrier and accumulates in the retina, where it helps protect against oxidative damage to retinal cells. Research suggests that astaxanthin may contribute to the prevention of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and support overall visual acuity.
3. Skin Health. The antioxidant is known for its skin benefits. It may help protect the skin from UV radiation-induced damage, reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and atopic dermatitis, while improving skin elasticity. The ability of astaxanthin to quench free radicals contributes to its potential role in promoting a youthful and healthy complexion.
4. Anti-Inflammatory Effects. Astaxanthin powder has demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties, helping to modulate the body’s inflammatory response. This makes it potentially beneficial for conditions characterized by chronic inflammation, such as arthritis. Astaxanthin’s anti-inflammatory effects contribute to its overall health-promoting properties.
5. Cardiovascular Health. Astaxanthin supplements may have cardiovascular benefits. It has been studied for its potential to reduce oxidative stress, lower blood pressure, improve lipid profiles, reduce fat buildup in arteries, and enhance blood flow. These effects contribute to cardiovascular health and may reduce the risk of heart disease.
6. Muscle Endurance and Recovery. Some research suggests that organic astaxanthin may improve muscle endurance and recovery. Athletes and individuals engaged in physical activities may benefit from astaxanthin’s ability to improve athletic performance by increasing endurance and reducing muscle damage. A study published in the journal “Nutrition” found that athletes who took astaxanthin supplements were able to exercise for longer periods of time and recover more quickly from exercise.
7. Cognitive Function. The ability to cross the blood-brain barrier has led to investigations into its potential cognitive benefits. Studies suggest that astaxanthin may have neuroprotective effects for the aging brain, potentially reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases and supporting cognitive function.
8. Joint Health. Organic astaxanthin powder may contribute to joint health by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. This makes it a potential supplement for individuals dealing with conditions like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
9. Immune System Support. Astaxanthin may support the immune system by enhancing the activity and increasing the production of immune cells. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties contribute to overall immune function, helping the body defend against infections and diseases.

Suggested use

As a dietary supplement, the suggested dose is 100 mg to 400 mg a day. This corresponds to 1/4 scoop to 1 scoop. For use as a cosmetic, apply on the skin a thin layer.
