Haematococcus pluvialis is a freshwater microalgae rich in natural astaxanthin. Its core functions and effects are concentrated in anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, and skin and eye health protection. Astaxanthin, as its key active ingredient, has a strong free radical scavenging ability, which can help delay oxidative damage, improve body functions, and play a potential role in cardiovascular and immune regulation.

1. Main functions and effects
2. Powerful antioxidant

The antioxidant capacity of astaxanthin in Haematococcus pluvialis far exceeds that of vitamin C, vitamin E, etc. It can neutralize free radicals and reduce the damage of oxidative stress to cells and tissues. Studies have shown that its antioxidant activity helps delay aging and reduce the risk of chronic diseases related to oxidative damage.

2. Skin health and photoprotection

Astaxanthin can inhibit skin inflammation and collagen degradation caused by ultraviolet rays, improve skin elasticity and moisture content, reduce wrinkles and spots, and is widely used in anti-aging skin care products. In addition, it can also enhance the skin barrier function and reduce redness and swelling after sun exposure.

3. Eye protection

Astaxanthin can penetrate the blood-retina barrier, reduce the damage of blue light to the eyes, improve visual fatigue, and have a certain auxiliary protective effect on eye diseases such as macular degeneration and glaucoma.

4. Cardiovascular and metabolic regulation

Studies have found that astaxanthin can reduce the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), improve endothelial function, and assist in regulating blood lipids and blood pressure, thereby having a positive impact on cardiovascular health. In addition, it may also improve insulin sensitivity through anti-inflammatory effects.
