Astaxanthin
Haematococcus pluvialis
In mice, astaxanthin by mouth left prostate growths 41.7% smaller and 39.6% lighter over 31 days, division markers down and the executioner caspase up.
What the evidence shows
Every line below is carried on the blend page that makes the claim. Follow it to the pathway and its sources.
The marine xanthophyll that spans the whole membrane — a uniquely sited antioxidant, with human data across triglycerides, insulin sensitivity and vascular inflammation.
In 22 adults over nine weeks, blinded, skin needed more UV to redden than on placebo, and held its water.
A green microalga reddens under stress to make it, and salmon wear it; astaxanthin sits in the mitochondrial membrane, shielding the energy chain.
Astaxanthin lowers creatine kinase after hard exercise — the enzyme muscle leaks when it has been torn.
In 64 screen-heavy children over twelve weeks, eye strain fell 20% and visual fatigue 27% below placebo.
The pigment that colors salmon settles into skin and guards its collagen against sunlight's oxidative wear, keeping the dermis firm and supple with the years.
Animals recovering from a brain bleed kept that defense up, and silencing the switch in cells cost 60% of the response - proof the route is the switch.
Spans the cell membrane to quench UV damage, protects collagen, calms redness and evens tone.
The red pigment salmon carry upstream — it spans the cell membrane, quenches oxidative sparks, cools inflamed signaling and keeps mitochondria firing.
