A potent antioxidant has been hailed as a “miracle supplement” after research linked it to the prevention of cell damage in the body.
Astaxanthin – naturally found in some fish and microalgae – is said to “enhance longevity prospects” and even block the development of type 2 diabetes.
Celebrity nutritionist, Gabriela Peacock claims the antioxidant helps “reduce harmful oxidative stress”.
Compared to other antioxidants, Astaxanthin is much better absorbed by the body, according to a 2021 review in the Pharmacological Research journal.
Peacock told The Times: “Astaxanthin is a strong anti-inflammatory compound that helps to preserve neurones, reduce harmful oxidative stress in the body and support mitochondrial function.
“All of this means it can help to enhance longevity prospects.”
Analysts suggest that astaxanthin will become one of the fastest-growing health supplements within the global market.
“It’s a red antioxidant pigment that belongs to a group of chemicals called carotenoids and is essentially the substance that causes the pink-red colour of salmon,” says Rhiannon Lambert, a registered dietician.
“Commercial products containing it are sold in the form of tablets, capsules, syrups, oils, soft gels, creams and granulated powders, but you can also get it from food.”
