AGEGUARD™ AST-5

• Protection Against Age-Related Challenges
• Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant, with studies showing it provides significantly greater antioxidant protection than the carotenoids beta carotene, lycopene, and lutein as well as alpha-tocopherol, and thus it is considered one of the best agents for protecting cellular membranes.
• Its ability to reduce oxidative damage, promote healthy levels of inflammation, and detoxify the body from environmental factors that trigger a pro-inflammatory and oxidative state, has been shown to help reduce changes we often see with aging.
• Improve the health of the skin
• Both in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated that astaxanthin may play a promising functional role to treat and prevent skin aging. Oxidative stress plays a crucial role in human skin aging and dermal damage. In animal studies, astaxanthin has been shown to reduce UV-induced inflammation and apoptosis, as well as increase the amount of collagen and growth factors, which can enhance wound healing and improve age-related changes.
• Astaxanthin is reported to improve the DNA repair capacity of cells exposed to UV radiation. In particular, Astaxanthin was capable of minimizing DNA damage and influencing the kinetics of DNA repair. Astaxanthin inhibits the UV-induced DNA damage and increases the expression of oxidative stress-responsive enzymes. Moreover, Astaxanthin was shown to exert its protective effects against cyclophosphamide-induced oxidative stress and DNA damage by activating Nrf2 and modulating NQO1 and HO-1 expressions.
