Astaxanthin
What is Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is a
carotene. Carotenes are known for giving th red, yellow, and orange
color to fruits and vegetables such as carrots or apricots.
Carotenes are well known for their health benefits, especially
beta-carotene. Astaxanthin, the carotene that gives wild caught
salmon it's red or pink color, is related to beta-carotene.
Astaxanthn is
recognized as an antioxidant 10 times more powerful than
beta-carotene. It is the combination of astaxanthin and omega 3 oils
that give salmon its reputation as one of
Dr.
Perricone's superfoods.
Astaxanthin fights free
radicals and oxygen singlets. Astaxathin supports immune
functions and fights inflamation. Astaxanthin also acts as an
anti-mutagens and anti-carcinogens.
Supplementation is
recommended. Dr. Corish recommends 6-12 mg per day. (You would need
to eat salmon 3 times a day - every day to get that amount.) Most
supplements are in capsules with an oil - usually olive oil,
fish oil, vegetable oil, or krill oil.
