Brief Introduction

Astaxanthin is a natural nutritional component, it can be found as a food supplement. The supplement is intended for human, animal, and aquaculture consumption.

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid. It belongs to a larger class of phytochemicals known as terpenes, which are built from five carbon precursors; isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate . Astaxanthin is classified as a xanthophyll (originally derived from a word meaning “yellow leaves” since yellow plant leaf pigments were the first recognized of the xanthophyll family of carotenoids), but currently employed to describe carotenoid compounds that have oxygen-containing moities, hydroxyl or ketone , such as zeaxanthin and canthaxanthin. Indeed, astaxanthin is a metabolite of zeaxanthin and/or canthaxanthin, containing both hydroxyl and ketone functional groups. Like many carotenoids, astaxanthin is a colorful, lipid-soluble pigment. This colour is due to the extended chain of conjugated (alternating double and single) double bonds at the centre of the compound. This chain of conjugated double bonds is also responsible for the antioxidant function of astaxanthin (as well as other carotenoids) as it results in a region of decentralized electrons that can be donated to reduce a reactive oxidizing molecule.

Function:

1.Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant and may protect against oxidative damage to body tissues.

2.Astaxanthin can improve the immune response by increasing the number of antibody producing cells.

3.Astaxanthin is a potential candidate to treat neurodegenerative disease such as Alzhimer and Parkinson diease.

4.Astaxanthin dan reduce UVA-light damage to skin such as sunburn, inflammation, ageing and skin cancer.

Application

1.When applied in pharmaceutical field, astaxanthin powder has the good function of antineoplastic;

2.When applied in health food field, astaxanthin powder is used as food additives for pigment and health care;

3.When applied in cosmetic field, astaxanthin powder has the good function of antioxidant and anti-aging;

4.When applied in animal feeds field, astaxanthin powder is used as animal feed additive to impart coloration, including farm-raised salmon and egg yolks.

**Comments have been disabled on this video- we are not affiliated with Kirkland in any way and just wanted to share about how amazing turmeric has been for our dog. We hope you take that away from the video and not just the type of food we’re feeding him.** Please visit the blog post for more information: https://anoregoncottage.com/how-turmeric-helped-our-dogs-hip/

A few years ago we learned that turmeric has been traditionally known to reduce inflammation and that current medical studies validate this time-honored use of turmeric.

But after using it for our dog, we are firm believers in the benefits of turmeric.

This video is a follow-up to AnOregonCottage.com blog post Jami did about how turmeric helped our Greater Swiss Mountain Dog/Black Lab mix dog walk again. Now this nine year old dog is not only walking without a limp, he can run for miles with no ill effects. (We’ve gradually worked him up to it–but it’s still remarkable.)

Watch the video to see a quick recap of Samson’s story, how we initially treated his bad hip, and now what we’re feeding him.

More than 23,000 samples of Ocean Spray dried cranberries were distributed on sidewalks, business centers and even traffic jams.
