Astaxanthin, the core component extracted from *Haematococcus pluvialis*, is hailed as the "King of Antioxidants" due to its unparalleled antioxidant capacity and multi-target anti-aging mechanisms. It offers unique advantages in delaying aging and protecting cellular health. Below is a detailed introduction to its antioxidant and anti-aging properties:   Antioxidant Mechanisms: A Triple Defense System   Astaxanthin’s [...]

Astaxanthin prevents pulmonary fibrosis by promoting myofibroblast apoptosis

By |2022-10-09T08:15:09+00:00October 9th, 2022|Categories: Haematococcus Pluvialis Astaxanthin|

Myofibroblasts are clinically and biologically important pathological features of pulmonary fibrosis, and their numbers on surgical lung biopsy directly correlate with progressive physiological deterioration and shortened survival. Although resident fibroblasts activate myofibroblasts in response to injury, their origin in lung fibrosis remains controversial. AECs gradually lose their epithelial cell markers and polarity during human lung fibrogenesis. [...]

Neuroprotective Properties of Astaxanthin

By |2022-09-27T11:02:37+00:00September 27th, 2022|Categories: Haematococcus Pluvialis Astaxanthin|

There have been numerous studies concerning the beneficial effects of astaxanthin. Astaxanthin-mediated neuroprotection in experimental models of neurological disorders involves anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation, and anti-apoptotic mechanisms. The following sections will delve into these molecular mechanisms and their potential as treatments for neurological diseases. Anti-Oxidant Effects Oxidative stress is a key mediator in the pathology of neurological diseases. [...]

Astaxanthin Inhibits Cigarette Smoke-Induced Emphysema

By |2022-08-20T09:23:37+00:00August 20th, 2022|Categories: Haematococcus Pluvialis Astaxanthin|

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is caused by the prolonged inhalation of toxic gases, primarily cigarette smoke. Cigarette smoke contains many harmful substances, such as oxidants. It has been hypothesized that the etiology of COPD stems from an oxidant-antioxidant imbalance and a protease–antiprotease imbalance. Oxidative stress is an important factor in COPD pathogenesis. Therefore, antioxidant treatment [...]

The Role of Astaxanthin in Liver Diseases

By |2022-08-16T09:43:57+00:00August 16th, 2022|Categories: Haematococcus Pluvialis Astaxanthin|Tags: |

Due to its various biological activities, astaxanthin has been used to prevent and treat various systemic diseases in vivo. In recent years, researchers have confirmed that astaxanthin is important in preventing acute liver injury, alleviating insulin resistance and NAFLD, liver fibrosis, and liver cancer. Liver Fibrosis Liver fibrosis is a key link in chronic liver diseases [...]

Anti-Atherosclerotic Effects of Astaxanthin

By |2022-07-09T14:24:42+00:00July 9th, 2022|Categories: Haematococcus Pluvialis Astaxanthin|Tags: |

Anti-Oxidation Carotenoids contain long conjugated double bonds in a polyene chain responsible for antioxidant activities by quenching singlet oxygen and scavenging radicals to terminate the chain reaction. Astaxanthin has a conjugated polyene chain at the center and hydroxy and keto moieties on each ionone ring. Due to its unique molecular structure, astaxanthin shows better biological activity [...]

The Difference Between Closed Incubation And Opening Incubation of Haematococcus Pluvialis Astaxanthin

By |2022-07-05T09:18:49+00:00July 5th, 2022|Categories: Haematococcus Pluvialis Astaxanthin|Tags: |

According to the current research, the best source of natural astaxanthin, Haematococcus pluvialis, has extremely harsh growth conditions and has very high requirements for light, temperature, and growth environment. Once the growth environment does not meet the requirements, Haematococcus pluvialis will stop producing astaxanthin and die quickly. Only under certain circumstances, astaxanthin will be rapidly produced [...]

Anti-inflammatory Effect of Astaxanthin

By |2022-06-15T07:35:51+00:00June 15th, 2022|Categories: Haematococcus Pluvialis Astaxanthin|Tags: , |

Inflammation plays an important role in developing cardiovascular diseases and other comorbidities, such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and obesity. Astaxanthin exerts a marked anti-inflammatory effect, which may be interrelated with its antioxidant effect and contributes to physiological changes that benefit cardiovascular function. Atherosclerosis is a degenerative and chronic disease that affects [...]

Antioxidant Effect of Astaxanthin

By |2022-06-14T01:11:41+00:00June 14th, 2022|Categories: Haematococcus Pluvialis Astaxanthin|Tags: |

Cell membrane systems are particularly vulnerable to reactive oxygen and nitrogen species(RONS) attacks due to their content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) and their metabolic activities, which endogenously generate other oxidizing metabolites. Astaxanthin protects cell membranes against RONS and oxidative damage. Due to its chemical structure, its polar groups overlap the polar regions of the cell membrane. [...]
