As a highly effective pure natural antioxidant, astaxanthinis more than 6,000 times that of vitamin C and 3,000 times that of resveratrol. The main function of astaxanthin is to scavenge free radicals and improve the body's anti-aging ability. Its high antioxidant capacity is derived from the following three properties:
1. Strong penetrating power Natural astaxanthin can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, blood-pancreatic barrier, and blood-testis barrier, the three major human barriers, and is the only carotenoid that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier. A carotenoid.
2. Transmembrane stability The biological cell membrane is composed of a phospholipid bilayer. Natural astaxanthin can cross the phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane, preventing the phospholipid molecules from being damaged by oxidation, and ensuring the stability of the cell membrane, thereby significantly prolonging the life of the cell.
3. Super absorbent Due to the small molecular weight of astaxanthin of 596.8, even if the ester groups at both ends are added, it is less than 1000 Daltons, which is easily absorbed by the human body and can quickly reach various organs of the human body.
A large number of studies have shown that astaxanthin has a certain function improvement effect on various systems of the human body. For example, it has a good therapeutic effect on diseases of the human nervous system and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems; it can delay skin aging and prevent skin aging; it can reduce oxidative damage to joints, improve muscle tolerance, and quickly recover from exercise fatigue.
