Get ready for summer with astaxanthin

摘要

Anew randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial provides stronger evidence for the protective role of algal-derived astaxanthin against skin deterioration caused by ultraviolet (UV) light. FujiFilm's research group conducted the research using Algatech Ltd.'s natural astaxanthin, already formulated in their branded supplement ASTOTS®. Skin is the first line of defense against the assaults of nature, stress, and time. But it needs nutrients just as the rest of the body does. One nutrient shown to be particularly exemplary at protecting the skin from within is natural astaxanthin, a powerful carotenoid antioxidant. We have scientific evidence from human, animal, and cellular models, demonstrating astaxanthin enhances the innate sun protection and reduces UV damage and other insults that cause skin to age. Nature has already tuned into this: fish and birds accumulate astaxanthin from microalgae in order to enhance their protection from oxidative stress and UV radiation. Human skin can benefit as well, In fact, natural astaxanthin from microalgae is the ideal "summer supplement." The global nutricosmetics market is estimated to reach $12.6 billion by 2024 (according to Variant Market Research), growing at a CACR of 12.6% from 2017 to 2024.
