As we all know, ultraviolet radiation is an important cause of skin aging and skin cancer. Studies have shown that astaxanthin has a special effect on transglutaminase, which can consume putrescine when the skin is exposed to light. Oral astaxanthin has a stronger inhibitory effect on putrescine accumulation than oral vitamin A, so its strong antioxidant capacity can make it a potential photoprotective agent, which can effectively remove free radicals that lead to skin aging, protect cell membrane and mitochondrial membrane from oxidative damage and prevent skin aging.
(2) Astaxanthin can relieve swelling, ulcer pain or wound infection caused by fever.
American medical experts found that astaxanthin can relieve swelling, ulcer pain or wound infection caused by fever, and obtained a patent on February 5, 2002. The content is: Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant, which is E500 times that of vitamin E, 10 times that of β-carotene, and stronger than other carotenoids, such as lutein, canthaxanthin and zeaxanthin. Astaxanthin can strengthen and regulate the immune system, weaken the destructive influence of UVA sunlight, delay and relieve fever blisters (cold sores) and oral ulcers. Astaxanthin can be used not only orally, but also externally or in combination with oral and external dosage forms.
(3) The effect of astaxanthin on improving sperm quality and fertility.
Neil discovered the effect of astaxanthin on improving sperm quality and fertility, and applied for a patent. The patent content is: a method that can increase the total number of male sperm and improve the reproductive performance of male semen. Haematococcus pluvialis-astaxanthin extract can increase semen volume and total sperm count, and enhance animal or human reproductive capacity.
