Authored by Derek Henry, Holistic Health Coach for Healing the Body,

At the root of every disease process is inflammation, a first defence process used by the body in order to try and heal itself. The problem is that when your body is in that state chronically it creates an overactive immune system, which brings crippling pain with it. This compromises your ability to do anything, which includes living a normal and productive life. So what do you do if you want to heal inflammation naturally? You consider astaxanthin.

robynmac/iStock Astaxanthin 101 Astaxanthin (asta-zan-thin) is a deep red coloured phytonutrient synthesized by microalgae called Haematococcus, and is also known as the “King of Carotenoids”. It’s grown in fresh water using sophisticated techniques that encourage the algae to grow its own powerful medicines protecting it from oxidation, UV radiation and other environmental stressors.

Astaxanthin is actually what gives salmon their reddish colour and allows them to perform heroic feats like swimming upstream against the current and leaping up waterfalls.

When it is harvested from the algae and concentrated into a tiny liquid capsule it becomes the most powerful antioxidant known in the natural world, with research showing that it is 550 times the antioxidant power of vitamin E! These antioxidants slow down the ageing process and protect us from free radicals that can cause DNA damage, nerve cell damage, and accelerated ageing of our internal organs.

Astaxanthin for Inflammation Inflammation is a first response defence and healing mechanism that becomes active before our immune system does. It is an extremely complex system and in general causes redness, swelling, heat, and pain. These effects occur due to a wide spectrum of inflammation mediators that are released after a detected injury or attack. Some of the mediators are known as prostaglandins, tumor necrosis factors, interleukins, and nitric oxide.

Some of the strongest pharmaceutical anti-inflammatories limit the production of prostaglandins and therefore ease swelling and pain. However, these drugs can cause side effects as it is very unnatural and unbalanced for the body to deal with extreme suppression of one single mediator, without affecting the balance of the others.

Alternatively, naturally occurring anti-inflammatory foods will ease inflammation by gently inhibiting several mediators, including prostaglandins, to calm the system as a whole.

Even though astaxanthin is not as powerful as leading pharmaceutical anti-inflamamtories, it is found to be one of the strongest ones in nature. Several double blind, placebo controlled animal and clinical trials shows that astaxanthin naturally inhibits many of the known inflammation mediators, which eases inflammation and pain without the side effects.

Authors Note: I personally used astaxanthin in a period where I dealt with debilitating inflammation, and had no desire to use pharmaceutical drugs. I can accurately state that it extinguished 80-90% of my systemic inflammation.

Other Benefits of Astaxanthin

The best part of astaxanthin is that the healing benefits don’t stop at pain management due to inflammation. However, since it is such a strong anti-inflammatory it also deals effectively with a number of other health issues, including:

Reduces joint pain

Reduces the risk of cancer and proliferation of breast cancer tumour cells

Protects brain from dementia and other brain related disorders

Reduces damage to your DNA by up to 40%

Reduces blood sugar levels in diabetics

Improves fertility

Promotes cardiovascular health

Reduces or eliminates carpal tunnel syndrome

Boosts immune system

Protects against infections

Prevents asthma by normalizing histamine levels

Protects body from highly oxidative foods

Increases endurance, muscle recovery, and workout performance

Protects kidneys from damage due to high blood sugar

Protects eyes and reduces cataracts

Prevents UV damage to eyes and skin (works as an internal sunscreen)

Since astaxanthin is fat soluble (unlike most antioxidants) it gets carried by fat molecules directly to your muscles, tissues, and organs where it is needed most, like your brain, breast tissue, prostate tissue, skeletal muscles, and retina. This way it prevents oxidation right at the site of stress or potential oxidation.

Taurine benefits (Also helps longevity)

Taurine is an amino acid that has several health benefits, including supporting heart and brain function and acting as an antioxidant. It helps regulate glucose levels and has anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that may benefit people with high blood sugar levels. Studies show that supplementing with taurine may improve insulin sensitivity, reduce fasting blood sugar, and support overall health in people with diabetes.

Additionally, taurine may help with blood pressure regulation and improve heart function, although more research is needed to confirm these benefits
