BioAstin as an Internal Beauty Supplement

September 2005

Many studies are establishing the benefits of the internal use of Natural Astaxanthin for the beauty and protection of the skin. Cyanotech conducted a human clinical study on “BioAstin® Natural Astaxanthin, the Anti-Inflammatory Carotenoid™” as an “internal sunblock” a few years ago, establishing that BioAstin can protect the skin from UV damage. (Cyanotech Corporation holds a patent for the use of Natural Astaxanthin as both an internal and external sunblock.)

Recently, more work has been done in this area. A study done in Japan that combined Natural Astaxanthin with tocotrienols (a Vitamin E derivative) yielded significant improvements in only two to four weeks. Improvements were noted in fine wrinkles and pimples, and in moisture levels in subjects with dry skin. Another study done in Canada combined Astaxanthin with marine glycosaminoglycans and omega-3 fatty acids. Improvements were noted in skin hydration, elasticity, skin tone and fine lines.
