How can Astaxanthin enhance muscle strength and improve endurance?
Free radicals are produced in our bodies not only due to exposure to unfavorable conditions (UV radiation, smoking, bad diet), but also during normal bodily functions such as energy production and digestion. During physical activity we breathe more and faster in order to supply our tissues with oxygen that is needed for energy production. This generates more free radicals and our bodies respond to this in the long term by producing more endogenous antioxidants. In the short term, however, free radicals activate the inflammation response that leads to muscle-tiredness and soreness. Astaxanthin quenches free radicals in the muscles and inhibits muscle damage and inflammation as a result. In support of this, human studies show lower lactic acid levels after strenuous exercise in subjects taking an astaxanthin capsule/day for 4 weeks, and a significant improvement in endurance performance after supplementing for six months. In summary, astaxanthin helps reduce muscle damage and improves mu
