Mindsip insights from this episode:
Acknowledge lack of evidence for astaxanthin's effect on wrinkles
Despite improving moisture and elasticity, the same meta-analysis found no statistically significant evidence that astaxanthin reduces skin wrinkles.
Enhance skin moisture and elasticity with astaxanthin supplementation
A meta-analysis of human trials concluded that astaxanthin supplementation provides a statistically significant improvement in both skin moisture and elasticity.
Exercise caution with weak evidence from biased studies
The studies included in the meta-analysis were assessed as having a high risk of bias, meaning the conclusions should be viewed with caution.
Enhance skin moisturization by improving sebum quality with astaxanthin
By preventing oxidation, astaxanthin improves the quality of sebum (your skin's natural oil), which helps with proper moisturization.
Preserve skin structure by reducing MMPs with astaxanthin
Astaxanthin helps preserve skin structure by reducing the production of metalloproteinases (MMPs), which are enzymes that degrade collagen and elastin fibers.
Leverage astaxanthin for superior antioxidant protection
Astaxanthin is known to have approximately 40 times greater antioxidant ability than the more common beta-carotenoids.
