Researchers from the U.K. report that taking astaxanthin regularly can reduce oxidative stress, which in turn, help fights skin aging. For their study, published in Nutrition Research, they looked at the effect of continuous astaxanthin consumption on oxidative stress in middle-aged men and women.
In conclusion, the findings of the study suggest that regular astaxanthin intake exhibits a strong antioxidant effect that leads to facial skin rejuvenation, which is especially seen in obese individuals.
