Thank you to our partners Key takeaways
  • Astaxanthin (ASTA) is a natural molecule found in marine environments, classified as a xanthophyll carotenoid due to its oxygenated structure
  • Unlike other carotenoids, astaxanthin protects against UV damage, reduces DNA damage, & supports skin health by improving elasticity & moisture
  • The effectiveness of antioxidants depends on their location & function within the body & cells
  • Cellular health is crucial, as it influences numerous signaling pathways & overall well-being
  • Astaxanthin targets mitochondria, reducing oxidative stress & lipid peroxidation, which protects mitochondrial membranes
  • The FOXO3 "anti-aging gene" significantly impacts longevity, with certain activated variants tripling the likelihood of living to 100 healthily
  • Studies show astaxanthin can extend lifespan—12% in males & 9% in females—with high statistical significance
  • Aging is a constant process, but maintaining or improving health over time is a valuable achievement
