ASTAXANTHIN

ASTAXANTHIN

Astaxanthin is a red pigment found in algae, marine life, and certain plants. It is considered one of the most powerful natural antioxidants and can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Its antioxidant activity is stronger than that of other carotenoids such as beta-carotene and lycopene.

Indications

Astaxanthin is used for various health purposes, including: Anti-aging: Protects skin from UV damage and may improve skin health and appearance. Cardiovascular health: May support healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels. Eye health: Protects against eye conditions such as age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Exercise recovery: Can reduce muscle fatigue and promote faster recovery. Immune support: Helps strengthen the immune system.


Dosage

The recommended dosage of astaxanthin can vary depending on the specific condition being treated and the form of astaxanthin being used. Common dosages range from 4 mg to 12 mg per day. It's advisable to follow the dosage instructions provided by a healthcare provider or the product label.


Contra-Indications

Individuals with known allergies to astaxanthin or any of its sources (such as algae) should avoid using astaxanthin supplements. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult with their healthcare provider before taking astaxanthin.


Special Precautions

Pregnancy and breastfeeding: The safety of astaxanthin during pregnancy and breastfeeding has not been well studied, so caution is advised. Allergies: Individuals with shellfish allergies should be cautious as astaxanthin may be sourced from shrimp or krill. Medical conditions: Individuals with pre-existing medical conditions should consult a healthcare provider before using astaxanthin.


Side Effects

Astaxanthin is generally well-tolerated, but some individuals may experience mild side effects such as: Gastrointestinal discomfort Changes in skin color (yellow-orange tint) Possible effects on hormone levels


Drug Interactions

Anticoagulants: It may enhance the effects of blood thinners like warfarin. Immunosuppressants: It may interact with medications that suppress the immune system. Cholesterol-lowering drugs: It may have additive effects with statins.
