Lately, when discussing the topic of supplements and longevity with close friends or even acquaintances, I hear that no one knows and asks what astaxanthin is? It sounds completely new and like a new term. And that's completely understandable. Just six months ago - I myself heard about it for the first time.
WHAT IS ASTAXANTHIN?
Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid belonging to the same group of chemical compounds as beta-carotene (a precursor to vitamin A). It is a potent natural antioxidant that gives a reddish-orange color to animals such as:
Salmon
Shrimp
Crabs
Flamingos
In our world, Astaxanthin is also known as the MASTER ANTIOXIDANT SPF , often referred to as "edible SPF" (edible SPF) due to its exceptional antioxidant properties, which can help protect skin cells from oxidative damage caused by UV rays - one of the main reasons why the skin ages, loses elasticity and becomes prone to pigment spots. Therefore, it is a great supplement, especially during the sunny season, to protect your skin and body from harmful sunlight, no matter how much we all love, enjoy and try to be in the sun and sunbathe on the beach as much as possible.
MAIN FEATURES AND IMPORTANCE:
A powerful antioxidant - protects cells from free radical damage. It is believed to be 10-100 times more potent than most other antioxidants (e.g., vitamins C, E).
Eye health - may help protect eyes from blue light and oxidative stress.
Skin protection - can help protect against UV rays and signs of aging.
Brain and heart health - studies show that it can help maintain good blood circulation, reduce inflammation, and support cognitive function.
Athletic performance - some athletes take astaxanthin to improve endurance and recover faster.
WHY IT'S CALLED EDIBLE SPF:
– Neutralizes free radicals formed by exposure to UV rays.
– Protects collagen structures in the skin from breakdown.
– Reduces inflammatory processes caused by excessive sun exposure.
– Works from the inside , complementing external sun protection.
Astaxanthin supplementation can improve cellular resistance to UV-induced stress, but does not replace physical protection – it is not an SPF filter , but a means of enhancing protection . SO when you enjoy sunbathing - do not forget that despite taking supplements - it is necessary to use SPF creams.
Clinical studies show that taking astaxanthin can improve skin moisture , elasticity, reduce redness (erythema) caused by UV rays, and help skin recover faster after sun exposure.
WHERE DOES ASTAXANTHIN COME FROM?
Naturally extracted from a microalgae called Haematococcus pluvialis .
Also accumulates in the tissues of animals that feed on them (e.g. salmon)
The alga Haematococcus pluvialis, which contains the powerful antioxidant ASTAXANTHIN.
WHY DO I RECOMMEND YOUNGENIX ASTAXANTHIN SUPPLEMENTS?
You've probably noticed that everything I recommend and use myself is from the "YOUNGENIX" brand , which can be purchased at the online store www.zenyou.lt .
Food supplements are not shower gels, which only work externally, gently and don't really do much :)
This should be a responsible approach, choice and trust . The main rule is to read labels . And as far as I have had to compare - the brand "YOUNGENIX" surpasses many supplement brands in composition, even if it can be found in pharmacies. These are supplements that are created, tested and used by the brand's supplement creator and doctor Rūta Merkytė herself. So, the answer is simple - if she uses them herself - then she is creating them NOT even FOR HERSELF , but first of all - FOR HERSELF :) AND THANKS TO HER , we have high-quality and extremely good quality and composition supplements on the market.
YOUNGENIX ASTAXANTHIN SUPPLEMENTS
This high-quality bioactive complex is based on the latest scientific discoveries about natural carotenoids and their synergy with other plant extracts. The main active ingredient, astaxanthin , is extracted from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis , which has naturally adapted to withstand extreme environmental conditions, and now this protective mechanism can also work in your skin cells.
The formula is supplemented by:
Vitamin C , which helps protect cells from oxidative damage and supports normal collagen synthesis - which is important not only for the immune system, but also for skin elasticity.
Piperine (black pepper extract, 95%) – combined for greater bioavailability and synergistic effects.
Gentle, plant-based capsules , free of artificial additives, suitable for vegans. Designed for those looking for deep solutions for beauty, resilience and long-term cellular protection – not just the surface, but also the inner potential.
USAGE OF YOUNGENIX ASTAXANTHIN SUPPLEMENTS:
Take 1 capsule with or after food , with a glass of water.
When taken in the morning, astaxanthin can help strengthen the skin's defenses against UV rays and environmental stressors. When taken in the evening, it can support the body's overall antioxidant defenses .
To achieve optimal results, it is recommended to use for at least 4 months.
INGREDIENTS OF YOUNGENIX ASTAXANTHIN SUPPLEMENTS:
Haematococcus pluvialis algae powder, filler microcrystalline cellulose, capsule shell (from hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose), L-ascorbic acid, silicon dioxide, astaxanthin (from Haematococcus pluvialis algae ), piperine ( Piper nigrum , black pepper) 95% extract.
I would like to point out that in 1 capsule we have as much as 300mg of astaxanthin , which is found in the algae Haematococcus pluvalis , and supplemented with as much as 50mg of vitamin C.
In summary, astaxanthin is not only a natural pigment , but also a very strong antioxidant that can have a positive effect on our health: from protecting the eyes and maintaining energy to strengthening the immune system . One of its unique properties is the ability to protect the skin from the harmful effects of UV rays from the inside, as if acting as a natural internal SPF . It helps reduce oxidative stress caused by the sun, slows down the aging process of the skin and maintains its elasticity and moisture. By including astaxanthin in your daily routine – through diet or supplements – you can take another step towards healthier, stronger and naturally protected skin and overall better well-being.
