Astaxanthin, a lutein pigment commonly found in animals, plants, algae, and microorganisms. It was first discovered in lobsters and is also known as astaxanthin, was first found in lobsters, also known as astaxanthin. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid, which is mainly produced by plants and microalgae in nature.
Animals cannot synthesize carotenoids and can only obtain them from plants or algae through the food chain. Astaxanthin has strong antioxidant properties and efficient ability to scavenge free radicals, making it widely used in fields such as food additives, cosmetics, health products, aquatic aquaculture, and medicine. With the continuous development of these fields, the demand for astaxanthin has also increased. As the best source of natural astaxanthin softgels, the development of the Haematococeus Pluvialis has attracted much attention.
Haematococeus Pluvialis is a freshwater unicellular green algae
Haematococeus Pluvialis is a freshwater unicellular green algae, belonging to the phylum Chlorophyta, family Red Chlorellaceae, and genus Red Chlorella. This algae can accumulate a large amount of astaxanthin and turn red, hence its name Red Chlorella, also known as Haematococeus Pluvialis. Under limited nutritional conditions or unfavorable environments, the photosynthetic rate and utilization rate of photosynthetic products in red algae are imbalanced, leading to carbohydrate accumulation, increased fatty acids and carotenoids, especially rapid accumulation of astaxanthin.
Compared with natural sources such as Phaffia yeast (0.4%), Pacific krill (0.012%), and Arctic shrimp (0.12%), the highest astaxanthin content in the spores of Haematococeus Pluvialis can reach 5%. Due to the abundance of astaxanthin in the spores of red algae, they have become another high-value economic microalgae after spirulina and Chlorella.
Haematococeus Pluvialis is the Best Source of Natural Astaxanthin?
So why does it stand out from numerous astaxanthin raw materials and become the most noble one among astaxanthin softgels ?
1. Content
It is the highest astaxanthin-rich algae and the highest astaxanthin accumulation among all known astaxanthin synthetic organisms. Its astaxanthin accumulates up to 4% of the cell dry weight and contains up to 10-40mg, so it is regarded as a "concentration" of natural astaxanthin.
2. Structure
Astaxanthin according to the structure is divided into left, right and racemic, the highest biomass, the most accord with the human cell absorption characteristics is the natural left structure of astaxanthin. Astaxanthin extracted from Haematococeus Pluvialis is a natural left-handed structure, which can exert its due effect to its inhibition with the required astaxanthin human and animal bodies. Its antioxidant ability is stronger than that of right-handed, racemic, and mixed astaxanthin.
3. Safety
At present, there are four main types of astaxanthin extraction. One type is 100% dextran astaxanthin extracted from shrimp shells, which has low antioxidant capacity, low bioavailability, and has a certain equivalent purine value, which carries the risk of increasing uric acid.
One type is D-astaxanthin extracted by fermentation with red yeast, which has only partial antioxidant activity and high sugar content, posing a risk of increasing blood sugar.
One type is artificial synthesis, which is synthesized in a left-handed (1): racemic (2): right-handed (1) manner. Its antioxidant capacity is only a quarter of that of natural left-handed astaxanthin, and it has been banned by the United States due to the generation of many harmful impurities during the synthesis process.
The last type is the natural levorotatory structure extracted from Haematococeus Pluvialis, which has high purity, low impurities, purine free, sugar free, and safety equivalent to food. Therefore, Haematococeus Pluvialis extract Astaxanthin soft capsules are also listed as "new resource food" in our country.
How does astaxanthin, the effective ingredient in Haematococeus Pluvialis, work?
The research results indicate that astaxanthin has multiple effects on the human body (some of which are shown in Figure 1). Astaxanthin is an excellent antioxidant with a higher ability to quench the activity of reactive oxygen species in cells and eliminate cellular free radicals β- Carrot is more than 10 times higher and a hundred times stronger than vitamin E.
Astaxanthin can increase the number of immune cells, inhibit cytokine storms or inflammatory storms caused by excessive immune response, and thus enhance the body's immune system. Ultraviolet radiation is an important cause of epidermal aging, and astaxanthin can effectively eliminate oxygen free radicals in cells and reduce the accumulation of aging cells, protecting skin health and delaying skin aging.
There are high concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids and oxygen in the retina, and the central nervous system is rich in unsaturated fatty acids and iron, both of which are highly susceptible to oxidative damage. Astaxanthin can cross the blood-brain barrier and quench damaging reactive oxygen species, thereby achieving the function of maintaining eye health.
Conclusion
Since its discovery, astaxanthin has brought enough shock to the world. It was discovered from small insects in extremely cold saline lakes, went to the laboratory, and began a legendary life. Every time scientists uncover the mysterious veil of astaxanthin, they can discover its amazing effects, from its powerful antioxidant ability to its powerful anti-aging effect, to its powerful anti-inflammatory properties. It seems that all chronic diseases in humans can be solved by astaxanthin, and even the blood-brain barrier with outstanding defense ability can be easily broken through by astaxanthin.
Therefore, astaxanthin is a member of the carotenoid family, The only substance that can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, making it the only carotenoid that can penetrate the brain for antioxidant activity. Although in nature, we can find traces of astaxanthin in algae, fish, shrimp, crabs, and even fungi, the only globally recognized source of astaxanthin is Rhodococcus pluvialis.
HEMING Astaxanthin Softgel capsules, extracted by supercritical CO2, has approximately the same characteristics as the original plant version, namely 100% natural and organic. This classic supplement has antioxidant activity, helping to prevent oxidative damage that leads to neurodegenerative diseases such as aging, insulin resistance, cardiovascular disease, and Alzheimer's disease. It can play a greater role in protecting the general antioxidant effect of cell membranes than various commonly used antioxidants.
