The Antioxidant Power of Astaxanthin: Why It's Called the "King of Carotenoids"
Among the carotenoid family, astaxanthin stands out from its more well-known cousins — lutein, zeaxanthin, lycopene, or beta-carotene — due to its exceptional antioxidant power.
To objectively evaluate the antioxidant capacity of a compound, the reference method is to measure its free radical scavenging ability in vitro. Compared to other reference antioxidants, natural astaxanthin shows impressive results:
- 500 times more powerful than vitamin E, which contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress
- 560 times more powerful than green tea catechins
- 800 times more powerful than coenzyme Q10
- 3,000 times more powerful than resveratrol
- 6,000 times more powerful than vitamin C, which contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system
This performance is explained by astaxanthin's unique molecular structure. Unlike beta-carotene or lycopene, it has two hydrophilic ends that allow it to position itself transversally across cell and mitochondrial membranes. It can thus intercept free radicals both inside and outside the membrane — whereas most other carotenoids only act on one side.
FAQ: All You Need to Know About Our Astaxanthin
What is astaxanthin and where does it come from?
Astaxanthin is a natural pigment from the carotenoid family. It is what gives flamingos and salmon their pink color. Our astaxanthin comes from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, cultivated in an eco-responsible way and certified Organic.
Why choose organic certified astaxanthin?
Most astaxanthins on the market are either synthetic (derived from petrochemicals) or come from intensive farming. Our organic astaxanthin guarantees you:
- Solvent-free extraction
- Cultivation protected from environmental pollutants.
- Complete respect for the natural balance of the algae for an optimal concentration of active ingredients.
How and when should I take my astaxanthin capsules?
For maximum absorption, we recommend taking 1 capsule daily, preferably with a meal containing some fat (oil, avocado, nuts, seeds, etc.). As astaxanthin is fat-soluble, fats
facilitate its absorption into your body.
How long does it take to feel the effects?
Antioxidants work deep within the body. While some athletes experience improved recovery after 15 days, we generally recommend a 2 to 3-month course of treatment to observe lasting benefits on skin and overall vitality.
Are there any contraindications?
Astaxanthin is very well tolerated. As a precaution, we recommend that pregnant or breastfeeding women seek medical advice. This product is not recommended for children under 14 years of age.
