Is natural astaxanthin good for oral or external use?

Because of its powerful efficacy, more and more products have introduced astaxanthin. We can not only find its trace in food, but also in skin care products. It's like a barrel of all-purpose oil, so some people doubt whether astaxanthin is an IQ tax. First of all, we should make it clear that astaxanthin is definitely not an IQ tax. If it is just a concept, it will not be popular for so many years, and it is impossible to maintain a rapid upward trend.

Astaxanthin is included in China's new resource food list because of its strong safety. In the new resource food list, astaxanthin is both edible and skin care fairy food.

So many friends will definitely have new questions. Since astaxanthin can be eaten and used externally, is it better to take it orally or externally?

1. Oral astaxanthin cannot be replaced.

We all know that astaxanthin is the strongest antioxidant known in nature. Its antioxidant capacity is 6000 times of astaxanthin, 1000 times of vitamin E and 3100 times of natto. At the same time, astaxanthin has a strong "wall breaking" ability, which can pass through our blood brain barrier, pancreatic barrier, prostate barrier and retinal barrier.

However, this ability to penetrate the barrier to reach the lesion is unique and irreplaceable, which cannot be provided by other antioxidants.

In the field of skin care, there are good substitutes for fine lines or spots, whether in the epidermis or dermis. Instead of using expensive astaxanthin, it is better to replace it with other products to save some costs. It is better to buy natural astaxanthin oral liquid directly.

Second, it is easy to be oxidized and degraded for external use.

General antioxidant substances are easy to be oxidized, which means a little self sacrifice and perfection to others. Astaxanthin not only has strong antioxidant capacity, but also has strong oxidation characteristics. It is unstable under the conditions of acid, oxygen, high temperature and ultraviolet light, and is easy to be oxidized and degraded.

Imagine that you have just applied astaxanthin to your skin care products, and you are being hit by the combination of oxygen, high temperature and ultraviolet light. How can you expect astaxanthin to protect your skin?

3： External single skin care, oral comprehensive conditioning.

Most skin problems are a feedback of endogenous damage to the body, such as color spots, fine lines and aging, acne, eczema or poor gastrointestinal performance, while dark and yellow skin is mostly due to abnormal liver function. If we use astaxanthin's powerful whitening effect to cover up everything on the skin surface, we will not be able to save our vulnerable internal organs.

In fact, oral astaxanthin has the effect of whitening skin and anti-aging, so some people affectionately call astaxanthin "skin care products that are eaten in the stomach".
