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.

This is a video review on Eden soy. It tastes like traditional soy milk, it is unsweetened and has a slightly beanie taste to it.

I love that study! You and I both know why those studies aren’t performed more often. Who’s going to profit? (Other than, of course, the millions of people suffering and dying from cancer).
The pomegranate extract video I opened with can be found here: Pomegranate vs. Placebo for Prostate Cancer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/pomegranate-vs-placebo-for-prostate-cancer/). And the note I ended on, the landmark Ornish study, is detailed here: Cancer Reversal through Diet (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/cancer-reversal-through-diet/). For those unwilling or unable to make such significant dietary changes, there’s still something you can do. See Prostate Cancer Survival: The A/V Ratio (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/prostate-cancer-survival-the-av-ratio). Changing a Man’s Diet After a Prostate Cancer Diagnosis (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/changing-mans-diet-prostate-cancer-diagnosis/) isn’t easy!

What about preventing prostate cancer in the first place? You can check our videos like Prostate Cancer and Milk vs. Almond Milk (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/prostate-cancer-and–milk-vs-almond-milk) and Eggs, Choline, and Cancer (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/eggs-choline-and-cancer/) to get a sense of what you might want to avoid, but in terms of what to eat, I’ve got two videos coming up soon: The Role of Soy Foods in Prostate Cancer Prevention (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/The-Role-of-Soy-Foods-in-Prostate-Cancer-Prevention) and Fermented or Unfermented Soy Foods for Prostate Cancer Prevention? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/Fermented-or-Unfermented-Soy-Foods-for-Prostate-Cancer-Prevention). But first, a video series on the heavy metal lead, up next.
