Q&A

• How can Astaxanthin be obtained in optimal doses, and what are its benefits?

  Astaxanthin, found in algae and salmon, can be obtained in large amounts from algae species such as haematococcus pluvialis. While it can be consumed from food, a supplement is more practical for optimal doses and has shown benefits in clinical trials, including skin protection, reducing inflammation, and potential benefits for metabolic health.

• Where can Astan be found, and what is its impact on cholesterol levels and blood pressure?

  Astan can be found in salmon, shrimp, and other foods, with microalgae, yeast, and certain bacteria being the highest sources. An important note is that concentrations of Astan in different salmon species vary. Its supplementation may lower LDL cholesterol levels, but its effects on total cholesterol and blood pressure are nonsignificant or only evident in people with elevated levels.

• What positive effects does Asaxanthin have on health?

  Asaxanthin at doses up to 12mg/day may protect against skin aging and has beneficial effects on lipid metabolism, blood pressure, and blood glucose. Several meta-analyses have shown its positive effects on cholesterol levels and blood pressure, particularly in less healthy individuals.

• What are the effects of AstaSupplementation?

  Clinical trials and studies have indicated that AstaSupplementation has anti-inflammatory effects, particularly in type 2 diabetes patients. It can also protect the skin against UV radiation, improve moisturization and elasticity, and reverse age-related skin changes. However, its effects on inflammatory proteins such as CRP and tumor necrosis factor alpha may be mixed.

• What are the potential benefits of Asex xanthin?

  Asex xanthin has shown promising benefits in anti-inflammatory, cardioprotective, and neuroprotective qualities. It has the potential to reduce inflammation, activate the Nrf2 pathway, and maintain lower inflammation levels while protecting the blood-brain barrier. A 2022 meta-analysis also found that Asex xanthin supplementation reduced inflammation.

• What is the significance of the National Institute of Aging interventions testing program study on Asex xanthin?

  The study conducted by the National Institute of Aging interventions testing program demonstrated a 12% lifespan extension in male mice, making it a significant milestone in Life Extension research for animals.

• 00:00 Asex xanthin, a carotenoid, has gained attention from longevity researchers due to a study showing a 12% lifespan extension in male mice. The National Institute of Aging interventions testing program conducted the study, which is considered the highest standard for Life Extension research in animals.
