Astaxanthin is a red pigment component found in seafood such as salmon, roe, and shrimp, as well as in algae, and is a type of carotenoid. It is a natural material extracted from the pure cultured algal body of the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis using supercritical carbon dioxide without any organic solvents. It is gaining attention as a component with the strongest power to eliminate active oxygen in nature. Astaxanthin exhibits antioxidant effects in almost all parts of the body. It particularly manifests its activity in cell membranes and mitochondria, possessing various characteristics not found in other carotenoids. 【Features】 ■ Derived from Haematococcus algae cultivated in Hawaii ■ Exhibits powerful antioxidant effects ■ Particularly active in mitochondria and cell membranes ■ A variety of health effect test data from basic, animal, and clinical studies are available both domestically and internationally. Astaxanthin works in mitochondria https://toyokk.co.jp/blog/article.html?page=89 *For more details, please refer to the catalog or feel free to contact us.
