Core Benefits & Functional Mechanism of Natural Astaxanthin
Natural astaxanthin has super strong free radical scavenging capacity, 6000 times higher than vitamin C, 550 times higher than vitamin E. Taken orally, it can pass through retinal barrier to relieve eye fatigue and blue light damage, eliminate systemic oxidation waste and ease exercise fatigue. Applied topically, it blocks UVA/UVB radiation, inhibits melanin generation, anti-glycation, fades fine lines and repairs dull photoaged skin.
Classic compound collocation: Astaxanthin + Lutein for eye health oral formula; Astaxanthin + Resveratrol / Olive Polyphenols for anti-aging skincare & oral anti-oxidation blends.
- Top-level natural anti-oxidant: far superior to VC, VE & grape seed polyphenols
- Targeted eye protection: relieve dry eyes & blue light oxidative injury
- Anti-photoaging & anti-melanin: resist UV damage, brighten dull complexion
- Anti-glycation anti-wrinkle: reduce collagen loss & light fine lines
- Dual forms & separated grades: oil/water two types for full formula compatibility
- Stable microalgae source, no synthetic astaxanthin impurities
