Description
10mg of liposomal astaxanthin per serving, delivering high-strength antioxidant support to improve skin complexion, joint health, heart health and more.
Pronounced Asta-Zan-Thin
Ingredients: Astaxanthin 10mg, Vitamin C - 30mg
Indications:
Joint Health; through its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, astaxanthin has recently been shown to help reduce chondrocyte ferroptosis - another name for inflammatory injury in chondrocytes. Astaxanthin does this by downregulating the action of interleukin-1β, an inflammatory promoter. In addition, astaxanthin was shown to improve collagen production and even reverse mitochondrial damage caused by the IL-1β. All of this indicates that astaxanthin could be a promising additional support for osteoarthritis and chondrocyte injury.
Heart Health: Through its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, astaxanthin has recently been shown to help reduce chondrocyte ferroptosis - another name for inflammatory injury in chondrocytes. Astaxanthin does this by downregulating the action of interleukin-1β, an inflammatory promoter. In addition, astaxanthin was shown to improve collagen production and even reverse mitochondrial damage caused by the IL-1β. All of this indicates that astaxanthin could be a promising additional support for osteoarthritis and chondrocyte injury.
Hypertension: A 2008 study found that taking astaxanthin for as little as 10 days was enough to significantly shorten blood transit time, reducing high blood pressure. It is thought the astaxanthin in the red blood cell membranes helps improve their flexibility. By increasing the bioavailability of nitric oxide through lower oxidative stress, astaxanthin has also been associated with vasodilation and inhibiting platelet clumping that can cause thrombosis.
Antioxidant: Intrinsic ageing causes wrinkles, loss of elasticity and pigmentation - all of which are accelerated by oxidative stress. Pretreatment with astaxanthin has been shown to reduce the reactive oxygen species induced by UVB light. Astaxanthin can also effectively reduce skin dehydration by reducing transepidermal water loss, suppress hyperpigmentation and photoaging, and increase skin elasticity. Studies have also shown that astaxanthin can reach all the skin layers from the dermis to the epidermis.
Skin Inflammation: Photoaging is caused mostly by consistent exposure to UV radiation. Knowing that astaxanthin can help accumulate in the dermis means that it can directly support the skin from UV-induced problems.
By strengthening the stratum corneum lipid barrier in the skin and helping maintain the correct intercellular lipid balance, astaxanthin helps reduce inflammatory skin diseases including atopic dermatitis and psoriasis.
Wrinkles: Too much unprotected sunlight can result in photoageing which damages collagen fibres and cause uneven pigmentation. UV rays also cause an increase in matrix metalloproteinases which promote protein degradation in the skin. Result = wrinkles and coarse, dry skin. Research found the length and depth of wrinkles were reduced when astaxanthin supplements were taken consistently for over 3 months and skin collagen also increased. By accumulating in the skin over time, astaxanthin is able to reduce UVA-induced wrinkle formation.
Wound Healing: Helping skin to recover after a wound is crucial to minimise the risk of infection and restore tissue health. Several studies have shown astaxanthin is an effective supplement to support wound healing. It does this by reducing inflammatory cytokine expression and cell infiltration, allowing the skin tissues to regenerate and repair. Astaxanthin supplementation also demonstrated an upregulation in the production of certain healing white blood cells and also both collagen Type 1 and 3, all of which help to accelerate wound healing.
Dry Eyes: Dry eyes? We see you. It’s suffered by anywhere between 5-50% of the global population, causing everything from mild discomfort to debilitating ice-pick headaches and impaired vision. Astaxanthin can improve dry eyes and help protect against a recurrence. It does this by reducing iron overload, increasing glutathione, scavenging up the damaging reactive oxygen species and lipid peroxides and rescuing the mitochondria, preventing something called ferroptosis, which is a form of metal-induced toxicity, and enhancing autophagy.
The smooth operator...
Most of us have a vague idea about the importance of antioxidants. The crucial vitamins and minerals that protect and repair damage from free radicals - unavoidable toxic molecules that cause ageing, inflammation and physical damage to our bodies. Astaxanthin, generated naturally by certain microalgae, is an extremely potent antioxidant estimated to be 6,000 times more powerful than vitamin C alone. This potency allows it to protect the body both inside and out.
How does astaxanthin work?
Size matters. Astaxanthin is a more powerful antioxidant than Vitamins C & E because its unique molecular structure allows it to span across the cell membrane, so it can protect both the lipid bilayer and the inner cell membrane from oxidative damage. Astaxanthin also improves the effect of the antioxidant enzyme paraoxonase-1, which breaks down damaging lipid peroxidases.
Antioxidant reactions are mainly controlled by something called Nrf2. Astaxanthin supplementation has been shown to restrict DNA damage and cell death by increasing Nrf2 and Phase 2 detoxification enzymes such as NAD(P)H dehydrogenase.
As well as its antioxidant powers, astaxanthin also influences cellular signalling pathways to inhibit the release of inflammatory causing compounds such as TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6
An easy guide to astaxanthin
Ever wondered why flamingoes are pink? Ever asked yourself how algae can use photosynthesis without getting damaged by the sun’s rays? Probably not. But the answer is astaxanthin, a naturally red pigment with unbelievable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory powers. Pacific wild salmon, shrimps, crabs and lobsters are all red because of astaxanthin and like a benign MI6 agent, it’s main job is protection.
What is liposomal Astaxanthin?
#1 In it's natural state, Astaxanthin is unprotected and vulnerable to being destroyed in the harsh environment of your digestive system
#2 To get around this, we developed a way to wrap Astaxanthin in "Liposomes" - tiny bubbles made from the same building blocks that make up the walls of our cells
#3 These "Liposomes" form a shield around the Astaxanthin which 1) protects the Astaxanthin from stomach acid and 2) increases the absorption of Astaxanthin across the gut wall and into the bloodstream
Clinically proven to have up to 4x higher absorption
Through multiple studies and clinical trials, we’ve demonstrated that Zooki Liposomal Encapsulation provides nutrients with up to 4x higher absorption into the bloodstream compared to conventional supplements.
10x less nutrients destroyed in the stomach. Studies measuring how Zooki products held up in the stomach acid conditions compared to regular supplements found that 10x less nutrients are destroyed by stomach acid when wrapped in a Zooki liposome.
Up to 4x higher absorption into the bloodstream. Clinical trials found that when compared to regular supplements, 4x more nutrients are absorbed into the bloodstream when wrapped in a Zooki liposome.
