WHY IS ASTAXANTHIN FAR BETTER THAN ASCORBIC ACID?
WHY IS ASTAXANTHIN FAR BETTER THAN ASCORBIC ACID?
Astaxanthin, also known as "The King of Carotenoids," is a natural wonder and one of the most potent antioxidants, with numerous health benefits. Astaxanthin is derived from Haematococcus Pluvialis microalgae, which can create this antioxidant to protect themselves during stressful environmental conditions. During summertime, astaxanthin allows microalgae to preserve their DNA, ready to grow again when the next rain falls, even if it takes many years. This remarkable ability demonstrates astaxanthin's role as an excellent antioxidant. Natural astaxanthin derived from microalgae has been shown in studies to be over 500X stronger than vitamin E and far more potent than other carotenoids. Astaxanthin, a rich, dark red pigment, is known to not only give shrimp, krill, and salmon their distinct colors but also to help salmon - with the endurance needed - to swim upstream for up to 2,000 miles, as well as to power birds' incredible eyesight.
Astaxanthin shields the DNA of the Haematococcus Pluvialis microalgae from harmful radiation and oxidative stress. Numerous studies have been conducted to evaluate and understand Astaxanthin's antioxidative effect, which is the underlying mechanism behind the majority of its benefits in biological systems. Over the last 25 years, an extensive literature has been developed in many experimental systems, and data has recently been generated in humans. Modern and demanding human life requires protection from daily oxidation stress. Oxidation is a critical and fundamental process in healthy physiology, and an imbalance toward excessive oxidation is what causes many diseases and disorders in humans.
When it comes to natural astaxanthin, there is no doubt that Haematococcus Pluvialis is the best source. This algae produces high levels of astaxanthin, which is a powerful antioxidant. In fact, studies have shown that H. Pluvialis contains up to 100X more astaxanthin than other sources. As a result, it can provide superior protection against free radicals.
Natural astaxanthin from the Haematococcus Pluvialis algae and L-ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, has many benefits. Still, there are some key differences between them. Clinical study suggests Natural astaxanthin to be 6,000 times stronger than vitamin C making it much more effective at scavenging free radicals and protecting cells from damage. In addition, natural astaxanthin is fat-soluble, meaning the body can better absorb it. On the other hand, Vitamin C is water-soluble and is excreted more quickly by the body. For these reasons, natural astaxanthin is considered a more potent antioxidant than vitamin C. This is also why we avoid photosensitising ingredients like glycolic acid in favour of protective antioxidants.
Consumers are bombarded with a never-ending stream of advertising for skincare products, promising everything from a youthful appearance to acne-free skin. When it comes to vitamin C, there are a few things you should keep in mind. Vitamin C is a popular ingredient in skincare products but can be irritating and unstable. However, vitamin C is notorious for its instability, and many products containing vitamin C irritate the skin. This is especially concerning when combined with photo-reactive ingredients like furocoumarins found in many luxury skincare products.
Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to be even more effective than vitamin C in supporting healthy skin. Unlike vitamin C, astaxanthin is far more stable and non-irritating, making it an ideal ingredient in skincare products.
