What is Astaxanthin? The origin of the super antioxidant
Astaxanthin is a reddish-orisor-colored natural substance from the group of carotenoids. It occurs in algae, crustaceans such as krill or lobster and in fish such as salmon, responsible for their typical color.
The most productive natural source is the microalge Haematococcus pluvialisthe astaxanthin forms to protect itself from intensive UV radiation and oxidative stress.
Why is Astaxanthin considered super antioxidants?
As one of the strongest known antioxidants, Astaxanthin is particularly effective in the protection against free radicals. Studies show that it has many times stronger than vitamin C, vitamin E or beta-carotene. It protects the cells, supports skin health and is used in a targeted manner in both cosmetics and as a dietary supplement.
Skin care with depth effect
Thanks to its fat -soluble structure, Astaxanthin can penetrate deep into the skin layers and cell membranes. There it unfolds its function as a natural protective shield, reduces inflammation and promotes regeneration. Ideal for daily use in anti-aging, UV protection and for the preservation of healthy skin.
Astaxanthin effect: The power of one of the strongest antioxidants
Protection against oxidative stress by UV radiation
Astaxanthin belongs to the class of carotenoids and acts as a particularly strong antioxidant against harmful effects of UV radiation. It neutralizes free radicals before they can attack cells, DNA or cell membranes. This antioxidant force not only protects the skin superficially, but also on the lower level and supports the immune system.
In nutritional supplements, Astaxanthin is used to reduce oxidative stress, to preserve the skin from early aging and to promote cell health in the long term. It is ideal for daily prevention as natural cell protection.
Anti-aging effect: protection against light-related skin aging
UV radiation is one of the main factors of skin aging. It accelerates the reduction of collagen and elastin, which leads to wrinkles, pigment spots and a loss of elasticity. Astaxanthin can significantly slow these processes, since its antioxidant properties of light -related aging counteract, stabilize the skin structure and smoothly smooth fine lines. The effect is particularly evident in regular use, whether as a cream or in the form of Astaxanthin capsules. Studies also indicate that the combination with vital substances such as vitamin C, vitamin E and omega-3 fatty acids can increase the anti-aging effect.
Anti -inflammatory and calming effect
Another advantage lies in the anti -inflammatory effect of Astaxanthin. After intensive sun exposure, the skin often reacts with redness, irritation or feelings of tension. The carotenoid reduces inflammatory messenger substances such as interleukin-6 and TNF-α, promotes regeneration and supports the skin in finding its balance. People with sensitive or mature skin in particular benefit from this gentle, natural care effect. Astaxanthin is also positively discussed in research with regard to the cardiovascular system and chronic inflammatory processes.
Supplement to the classic UV filter
Astaxanthin is not a chemical or physical UV filter, but complements conventional sun protection on a cellular level. It protects the skin from the inside by effectively intercepting free radicals that arise despite sunscreen. This additional protection is particularly relevant for lower light protection factor or for longer sun exposure. Taking Astaxanthin via creams can support the protective effect in the long term, both on the skin and in deeper tissue stories.
Photostable and protective for the wording
While many natural ingredients become unstable under sunlight, Astaxanthin remains photostable. It helps to keep the overall formulation of sun protection products stable and to protect other sensitive ingredients such as vitamin C or retinol from UV-related dismantling.
Glow effect through natural tinting
The natural red color of the Astaxanthin gives sun protection products a slightly reddish-orange tint. This creates a gentle glow on the skin, which provides a healthy, fresh complexion. This effect can be used in particular in formulations with natural ingredients or as a tinted day care. At the same time, the active ingredient increases the protection against light -related damage, an additional bonus for everyone who value natural skin care with a visible effect.
Application in skin care: Why Swiss Tallow relies on Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin not only convinces as a dietary supplement, but also shows impressive effects in skin care. As a fat -soluble carotenoid, it can be integrated particularly well into rich, tallow -based care formulas. Swiss Tallow uses this advantage, because Rindertalg offers a skin -like lipid structure that serves as a natural carrier for antioxidant active ingredients such as astaxanthin.
Especially in the case of light -sensitive, dry or sensitive skin, the use of astaxanthin can strengthen the skin barrier, reduce oxidative stress and promote the natural regeneration process. The strong effect against free radicals, combined with anti-inflammatory properties, makes the active ingredient an ideal component of modern and sustainable anti-aging and sun protection products.
Swiss Tallow is currently developing two high -quality product lines that rely on the power of Astaxanthin:
Valley -based facial care with regenerating cell protection and natural glow
Sun care with antioxidative effects, especially to support UV-related skin load
Thanks to its natural origin, its good tolerance and its deep effects, Astaxanthin fits perfectly into the Swiss Tallow concept of original, effective and natural-based skin care.
Astaxanthin in comparison - superior cell protection for skin and body
Astaxanthin is a powerful, fat -soluble carotenoid that in nature, especially in microalgae such as Haematococcus pluvialis occurs. It is one of the strongest known antioxidants and clearly exceeds other antioxidants such as vitamin C, vitamin E or Coenzyme Q10.
Superior antioxidant effect
In contrast to water -soluble antioxidants such as vitamin C, which are quickly broken down, Astaxanthin integrates directly into the cell membrane. There, it effectively neutralizes free radicals that arise from UV radiation and environmental exposure and protects the cells from damage. This profound antioxidant effect contributes to reducing skin aging, inflammation and other environmentally related skin damage.
High stability and suitability for skin care
Astaxanthin is characterized by high stability compared to light and oxygen. It does not oxidize as quickly as many other active ingredients and remains active in demanding skin care products for longer. This property makes it particularly suitable for natural skin care and nutritional supplements with anti-aging focus.
Synergy with natural carriers
Due to its fat -soluble structure, Astaxanthin can be ideally combined with cattle valley, a natural carrier that supports the inclusion in the skin. The daily application thus offers long-term cell protection, strengthens the immune system and naturally protects the skin from UV damage, free radical and early cell aging.
Astaxanthin is not just another trend ingredient, but one of the most effective natural connections to skin care, health maintenance and prevention that modern research has to offer. Its superior antioxidant effect, high stability and synergy with natural carriers make it an indispensable component of modern skin care and nutritional supplements.
How can you use Astaxanthin? Topisch & oral at a glance
Astaxanthin can be used in two ways to develop its full effect as super antioxidants: topically over the skin or orally as a dietary supplement.
Topical application of astaxanthin on the skin
Astaxanthin is used in high -quality skin care products such as creams, serums, oils and balms. As a fat -soluble carotenoid, it gets deep into the skin layers and acts directly in the cell membrane. There it unfolds its antioxidant power against free radicals caused by UV radiation, environmental toxins and oxidative stress.
The application on the skin supports skin elasticity, strengthens the cell structure and protects against skin aging. The combination with natural lipids such as cattle valley is particularly effective, since it improves the inclusion in the skin as a carrier. Astaxanthin in creams and care products not only protects protecting, but also regenerating.
Oral intake as a dietary supplement
Astaxanthin is also available as a dietary supplement in the form of capsules. Oral intake ensures holistic cell protection in the entire body, especially for skin, eyes and cardiovascular system.
As a super antioxidant, Astaxanthin protects the cells from oxidative damage, strengthens the immune system and can prevent age-related processes such as cell aging, inflammation and eye diseases. The combination with vitamin C, vitamin E, Coenzyme Q10 or Omega-3 fatty acids is particularly popular to increase the effect.
Dosage, quality and security when taking Astaxanthin
According to studies, the optimal dosage of Astaxanthin is between 4 and 12 mg per day, depending on the individual objective. It is important to choose high -quality products with standardized production of microalgae such as Haematococcus pluvialis, because they guarantee the highest purity and bioavailability.
People with chronic illnesses, during pregnancy or while taking medication at the same time, should discuss the use with a doctor in advance. Quality, security and purity are crucial to use the positive effects without side effects.
Who is Astaxanthin suitable for?
Astaxanthin is suitable for everyone who protects their cells, strengthen the skin, support the immune system and want to actively act against premature cell age. People who are often exposed to the sun are physically active or who want a natural anti-aging effect, benefit from regular intake.
