Research on astaxanthin for human health

       All cells in our bodies are constantly exposed to reactive free radicals that are produced from smoking, irradiation, pollution and also as a by-product of metabolism itself. A higher level of free radicals, as compared to antioxidants, leads to increased oxidative stress in the body.

      Oxidative stress causes many health problems because it damages proteins, lipids, DNA and enzymes, which leads to dysfunctional cells and inflammation.chronic,low-level inflammation. Because astaxanthin is taken up by all cells in the body and reduces oxidative stress, it has demonstrated several health benefits in clinical studies.

      The aim of our medical research is to develop methods for the prevention and treatment of ailments caused by oxidative stress and low-level inflammations,so as to inprove health and quality of life.
