Although there is "shrimp" in the name of astaxanthin, shrimp is not the main source of astaxanthin!

The main source of astaxanthin extracted by ITRI is Haematococcus Pluvialis.

After eating Haematococcus, aquatic organisms will naturally accumulate astaxanthin in their bodies. Therefore, when people first found astaxanthin in lobsters, they mistakenly thought that the source of astaxanthin was shrimp, crab and fish.

Astaxanthin is also known as astaxanthin and phycoerythrin.

Revitalizes and repairs aging dull skin

By inhibiting the activity of intracellular tyrosine enzymes to reduce melanin deposition, and reduce DNA damage, so as to achieve true whitening of the skin.

Protects skin from UV rays

It can prevent the damage of ultraviolet rays to the skin by reducing the reactants induced by ultraviolet light and avoiding the death of keratinocytes.

The antioxidant activity is 1000 times that of vitamin E.

Astaxanthin can inhibit matrix metalloproteinases from degrading skin collagen and elastin, so as to delay skin aging.

The ability to scavenge free radicals is 6000 times that of vitamin C and 794 times that of CoQ10.

Astaxanthin has a phenolic benzophenone ring at both ends of its molecular structure, as well as a hydroxyl group and a ketone group, which are easy to react with free radicals and effectively reduce the activity of free radicals.
