Astaxanthin Benefits are being seen in a wide range of medical conditions, and consumers who are taking astaxanthin are feeling the difference.
As a result, the demand for this king of antioxidants has skyrocketed.
Astaxanthin's positive benefits
Scientific research and clinical trials have confirmed and validated astaxanthin's positive health outcomes in conditions such as:
* Heart disease - In human clinical trials, Astaxanthin improved cholesterol and lipid levels. â†' HDL-C 15%, â†"Triglycerides 25% and â†" CRP 21%.
* Joint pain due to inflammation - A study by Rheumatoid arthritis patients reported that 80% had improvement in pain scores, flexibility and movement. Also, 60% reported that astaxanthin was just as effective if not better than prescription medications.
* Brain health - Astaxanthin crosses the blood brain barrier and the British journal of Nutrition recently reported that astaxanthin was able to reduce lipid peroxides (by 50%). These peroxides accumulate in large amounts in patients suffering with dementia, leading researchers to suggest that astaxanthin may help to prevent dementia.
* Sports performance and exercise recovery - Astaxanthin was able to improve time trials and exercise performance in athletes such as cyclists and elite soccer players. Astaxanthin reduced fatigue, inflammation and injury and was able to shorten recovery times.
* Eye health - Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid and has shown that it can protect eye structures, such as the Macula, the Retina, the Lens and Cilliary eye muscles. This is offers exciting potential for those suffering with eye problems.
* Skin & anti-aging - Asian women have long known the anti-aging benefits of astaxanthin and its ability to slow down the aging effects of the sun. Recent studies from Japan have actually shown reversal of very fine lines and sun damage to the skin whilst taking astaxanthin by mouth.
* Immune function - Some of the earliest studies on astaxanthin demonstrated that astaxanthin was able to boost the immune system during times of stress. Astaxanthin increased the number of circulating antibodies, improved natural killer cell activity and enhanced the overall immune response.
* Anti inflammatory - It's well documented that Astaxanthin inhibits nuclear factor kappa beta - the 'master switch' that turns on the inflammation process. Astaxanthin also reduces pain that is associated with the inflammation process. Astaxanthin was able to lower by up to 21% blood levels of C-reactive protein, a biomarker used to measure systemic inflammation
Other exciting areas where this king of antioxidants is aggressively being researched include; anti-cancer effects, Diabetes and weight loss. Hold on tight this is going to be a great ride.
