Pharmaceutical astaxanthin: a natural precious antioxidant gold sunrise industry

Astaxanthin is a kind of carotene with brownish red crystal Compared with β - carotene and VE, astaxanthin has stronger biological activity and can be widely used in food, medicine, feed and cosmetics industries Astaxanthin is a miracle of nature Astaxanthin produced by cultivation of microalgae is a gift from nature to human health It is a golden sunrise industry integrating biological and health industries Astaxanthin is one of the super natural antioxidants discovered so far Its antioxidant capacity is 1000 times of vitamin E, 3100 times of natto and 700 times of anthocyanin However, as a new biochemical product, the research and development of astaxanthin in China is just in the beginning, and the understanding of astaxanthin in the market is not very deep, so there is no product supply in the domestic market, while the annual demand in foreign markets such as Europe and the United States is more than dozens of tons, with a demand of more than one billion US dollars Astaxanthin content directly affects the quality of products At present, astaxanthin, which is generally sold on the market, has a content of 4-8 mg per capsule Due to its low content, it is often of low health preservation value The original imported natural astaxanthin of American pharmaceutical is as high as 12mg / capsule, which is very rare! If the middle-aged and old people want to keep healthy, they may as well Supplement 2 astaxanthin per day, and keep it for more than 8-10 weeks We should especially remind you that astaxanthin from different sources has different nutritional values Astaxanthin from yeast and other fungi, chemical synthesis, shrimp and crab shell wastes is not conducive to human absorption, low purity, low safety, and the risk of heavy metals exceeding the standard Many national regulations do not allow it to be used for human nutrition The original imported natural astaxanthin from American pharmaceutical is from Haematococcus pluvialis, which is more easily absorbed by human body It is green, pollution-free and safe Dr Song Lirong, director of algal biology and Application Research Center of Institute of Hydrobiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, introduced that at present, the good natural astaxanthin source is Haematococcus pluvialis, which is regarded as the "concentrate" of natural astaxanthin, and astaxanthin, which is the only one approved for edible by the world, including the European Union, the United States, Japan and China, is also the source of astaxanthin The author has learned that Hangzhou Xinwei low carbon technology research and Development Co., Ltd has made many years of technological breakthrough Its "astaxanthin products from water-soluble Haematococcus pluvialis and its manufacturing methods" project uses modified starch with good hygroscopicity, solubility and stability, which can also be used as food as capsule wall, and uses spray coating technology to embed prawn cyanin oil, Water soluble astaxanthin powder was prepared by microencapsulating astaxanthin oil from Haematococcus pluvialis, which was difficult to dissolve in water The embedding rate was 98.5% The water-soluble astaxanthin product improves the bioavailability of astaxanthin, makes astaxanthin more easily absorbed and greatly expands its application scope; the astaxanthin content in the water-soluble astaxanthin microcapsule powder can reach 2.0% - 2.5%, which is a water-soluble astaxanthin product with high astaxanthin content and good solubility on the international market at present In summer, the metabolism of human body is accelerated, the oxygen consumption of human body is greatly increased, and more free radicals are easily produced Excessive free radicals will invade our cells and tissues, resulting in the accumulation of harmful products Once the body is in a bad state, the damage of free radicals to the body will appear, such as drowsiness, fatigue, dizziness, palpitation, even fever, blood pressure surge, etc Therefore, it is very important to scientifically cope with the challenge of peroxyradicals to our health and maintain good physical function and health Astaxanthin is a precious antioxidant in nature The content of astaxanthin has a direct impact on the quality of products, so it is very important to choose a good astaxanthin.
