Known Application
Astaxanthin possesses strong antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress on cells. This contributes to maintaining cell health and slowing the aging process. And Astaxanthin exhibits potent antioxidant effects, indirectly exerting anti-inflammatory actions by modulating the balance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body. Astaxanthin significantly reduces the levels of markers of DNA damage and lowers plasma C-reactive protein concentrations, confirming its anti-inflammatory effects on the human body.
