Natural Astaxanthin 2%
Part used: Haematococcus Pluvialis
Specification: 2%
Appearance: Dark red powder
Description:
Nature Astaxanthin is a red carotenoid, a pigment produced by plants, fungi and bacteria, but most prevalent in algae. In 1970, an organic chemist, British professor Basil Charles Weedon discovered astaxanthin when he used magnetic resonance spectroscopy to map structures of the lipid soluble pigments. Animals, including humans, must obtain these essential pigments for health. Similar to beta-carotene, astaxanthin is a nutritional component, but also is used commercially to improve color.
Function:
1, Medical Use: Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that it is 10 times more capable than other carotenoids, so it is beneficial in cardiovascular, immune, inflammatory and neurodegenerative diseases. It also crosses the blood-brain barrier, which makes it available to the eye, brain and central nervous system to alleviate oxidative stress that contributes to ocular, and neurodegenerative diseases such as glaucoma and Alzheimer's.
2, Cosmetic Use: For its high-performance antioxygenic property, it can protect the skin from ultraviolet radiation damage and effectively reduce melanin deposition and the formation of freckles to keep skin healthy. At the same time, as an ideal natural coloring agent for the lipstick can enhance the radiant, and to prevent the ultraviolet injury, without any stimulation, safe.
3,Feed additive: used as a feed supplement for salmon, crabs, shrimp, chickens and egg production.
