• Opis:
  INTRODUCTION: Astaxanthin, a carotenoid compound belonging to the xanthophyll group, occurs naturally in algae, yeast, and marine organisms such as shrimp, trout, lobster, and krill. Renowned for its antioxidant prowess, astaxanthin shields mitochondria from harm caused by reactive oxygen species (ROS). Its exceptional antioxidant potency is noteworthy, surpassing that of α-tocopherol (Vitamin E) by 100-fold and eclipsing over 600 other recognized natural carotenoids. REVIEW METHODS: The article was complied by analyzing data from PubMed and Google Scholar data regarding the benefits of astaxanthin supplementation. THE STATE OF KNOWLEDGE: Astaxanthin, offers a range of health benefits. It modulates immune responses, inhibits cancer cell growth, reduces bacterial presence and gastric inflammation. With potent antioxidant properties, it also serves as a neuroprotective agent by combating neuroinflammation. Additionally, astaxanthin shows promise in preventing and treating liver diseases, thanks to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and signaling pathway regulation properties. Overall, antioxidants like astaxanthin, whether from diet or supplements, help combat lipid and protein oxidation, thereby slowing down the progression of atherosclerosis. CONCLUSION: Astaxanthin emerges as a promising candidate for treating various pathological conditions linked to oxidative damage and impaired mitochondria function. These conditions span across cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative disorders and liver diseases. It could also help healthy people like athletes in enhancement of overall quality of life.
