The human Central Nervous System (CNS) contains 100 billion neuronal cells and an equal number of glia cells, such as microglia, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. The CNS includes all nerves in the brain and spinal cord and is isolated from the other compartments of the human body through the blood-brain barrier (BBB). This barrier is fundamental to [...]
Carotenoids have a polyene chain and long conjugated double bonds. The structure of these compounds is responsible for antioxidant activity, such as the hardening of singlet oxygen and the removal of radicals to complete the chain reactions. The structure of astaxanthin consists of a conjugated polyene chain in the center and hydroxyl and ketone moieties on [...]
The maturation of Haematococcus Pluvialis cells and the passage through successive stages of life cycles result in an altered biochemical profile of the cell. Most Haematococcus Pluvialis green stage cells are characterized by high protein content of 29%–45% per dry weight (d.w.). Protein content in palmella decreases to 36% d.w., while in the red stage cells, this content is [...]
There are many types of cosmetics raw materials with different properties. Many raw materials such as Fullerene, Ectoin, Astaxanthin, Nicotinamide, Centella asiatica extract, Pro-Xylane, Peptides, Cannabis extract, Salicylic acid, Retinol, etc. have emerged in the cosmetics industry. Let's take a look at these raw materials in detail. 1. Fullerene Fullerene is a hollow molecule composed entirely [...]
Anti-ultraviolet radiation Ultraviolet radiation is an important cause of skin photoaging and skin cancer. Studies have shown that haematococcus pluvialis powder has a special effect on glutamine transferase, which can consume humic amines when the skin is exposed to light and the inhibitory effect of oral natural astaxanthin on the accumulation of humic amines is [...]
As the strongest antioxidant, natural astaxanthin has a lot of health benefits, however some people are not recommended to use natural astaxanthin, please see the applicable group and inapplicable group listed below: Applicable group 1) People with painful diseases: rheumatoid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, bursitis, synovitis, knee arthritis, etc. 2) People with diabetes and its complications: [...]
The biological source of natural astaxanthin At present, the biological source of astaxanthin is microalgae (haematococcus pluvialis powder). Haematococcus pluvialis is a unicellular algae that does not contain components derived from animals. Many studies have shown th haematococcus pluvialis powder is richer in astaxanthin than other green algae, and the ratio of astaxanthin and its esters [...]
For patients with acute cerebral infarction, they can be recanalized quickly and effectively if thrombolytics such as urokinase and streptokinase are used within 3 hours, which is medically called RT-PA therapy. But no matter what method is used to treat cerebral infarction, the incidence of recurrent cerebral infarction is still very high. In the first 30 [...]
Natural astaxanthin has been widely known by its superior antioxidant ability. In Japan, dozens of experts and research institutions have done a lot of academic research and clinical experiments, the results show that natural astaxanthin can consume human triglyceride and increase high density lipoprotein (HDL). Method Take natural astaxanthin doses 0, 6, 12, 18 mg/day for [...]
Astaxanthin is a kind of red natural carotenoid that is widely found in squid, shrimp, and crab, as well as in leaves, flowers, and fruits. Most of the marine crustaceans and fishes contain astaxanthin, which are all derived from microalgae, phytoplankton and zooplankton through food chain. Studies in recent years have confirmed that natural astaxanthin has [...]
