Some people say that the discovery of natural astaxanthin is comparable to the discovery of "penicillin" in the early 20th century. Due to the discovery and application of antibiotics such as penicillin, high-incidence diseases such as pneumonia and meningitis that plagued human beings in that era were effectively controlled. Today, the scientific community has finally made it clear that many chronic diseases that plague human beings include hyperlipidemia, diabetes, coronary heart disease, atherosclerosis, cerebrovascular disease, gout and other metabolic diseases, and the pathogenesis of chronic poisoning are all caused by "oxidative stress". "As a result, as Professor Wu Zhigang of Tongji Medical College and others said: oxidative damage is the mother of all damage. If we can effectively prevent oxidative damage at the beginning of the disease, it is expected to stop and delay the occurrence and development of such conditions. Swedish astaxanthin cells are anti-oxidative, just like penicillin's anti-bacterial infection; it can be inferred: with the recognition and application of Swedish astaxanthin, the above-mentioned chronic diseases will also be expected in this century. Be effectively controlled.
First, the protective effect of free radicals generated by oxidation can easily cause peroxidative damage. Studies have shown that astaxanthin can easily pass through the blood-brain barrier and cell membrane, can effectively prevent retinal oxidation and photoreceptor cell damage, and protect the central nervous system, especially the brain targeting damage. In particular, the effect of macular degeneration is more significant than that of lutein. American CADAX Company has used astaxanthin as a drug to prevent re-infarction after cerebral infarction, and it is reported that it has entered the clinical trial stage in 2010. The most significant advantage is that it does not cause coagulation disorders like antiplatelet drugs.
Second, it can effectively anti-wrinkle whitening. The skin comprises three layers of structure: the epidermis layer, the dermis layer, and the subcutaneous fat. The dermis layer contains collagen, elastin, and other fibres that form the backbone that appear smooth and youthful, and these elements are also susceptible to UVA and UVB damage.
Ultraviolet rays are divided into long-wave ultraviolet UVA and short-wave ultraviolet UVB. Among them, UVA long-wave ultraviolet rays can reach the dermis layer due to their relatively long wavelengths, mainly damaging collagen and elastin, the skeleton supporting the epidermis disappears, resulting in an uneven collapse of the epidermis, so that skin wrinkles are formed, and UVB is mainly acting on the epidermis, resulting in sunburn or the deposition of melanin, comprising spots or skin darkening.
The skin's repair mechanism can rebuild the damaged collagen; however, if the destructive activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and matrix metalloproteinase (NMP) is not effectively controlled, they will continue to damage these collagens, which seriously hinders the skin's repair process, astaxanthin can significantly weaken the ROS and NMP damage to collagen and elastin in the dermis layer, ensuring the normal metabolism of the skin. If topical astaxanthin is combined with internal astaxanthin while supplementing collagen-rich foods, wrinkle repair will be quick.
Realistically speaking: relying on "elastin" and "collagen" alone cannot remove your crow's feet. These are raw materials, and the power comes from the solid antioxidant natural astaxanthin.
