There’s a good chance that Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA), more commonly known as male pattern baldness, can be treated and even reversed with the help of a powerful antioxidant known as astaxanthin.

What Is Astaxanthin?

Astaxanthin is an antioxidant—and more specifically, a carotenoid—which is present in the majority of red-colored aquatic organisms, such as algae, salmon, and crayfish[1].

And it’s what gives flamingos that amazing bright red color.
As a carotenoid, astaxanthin plays a large role in decreasing the risk of certain diseases[2], as well as neutralizing free radicals in the body which are responsible for the physical signs of aging, such as greying hair, hair loss, and wrinkles[3].

Further, astaxanthin has been proven to halt the production of DHT[4], a chemical shown to contribute to AGA.

Health Benefits of Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is an antioxidant which is used for a variety of medical conditions. Below is just a general overview of the various benefits which astaxanthin provides, including some of the more common conditions it has been known to treat.

Anti-inflammatory

Astaxanthin works to block a number of inflammation-causing chemicals in the body, which means humans can benefit from its supplementation whether they’re struggling with arthritis, pneumonia, or a number of eye conditions which can cause uncomfortable inflammation that can lead to blindness.

Anti-diabetic

In patients with diabetes, oxidative stress levels tend to be high, which can put further stress on the pancreas. Astaxanthin, however, can help to lower those stress levels, as well as improve glucose and insulin numbers[5].

Cardiac Disease Prevention

An an anti-inflammatory, astaxanthin has shown promise in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease[6], as well as lowering blood pressure and decreasing the risk of stroke[7].

Cancer Prevention and Treatment

Astaxanthin plays an interesting role in the prevention and treatment of cancer, and is one of the more effective antioxidants [8] when it comes to decreasing tumor size and increasing cell-to-cell communication.

In fact, astaxanthin is increasingly being used in cancer treatment, and more research is being done to further understand the role that astaxanthin can play in the future of cancer prevention.

Eye Health Promotion

Age and diabetes can have a debilitating effect on eye health. As a supplement, however, astaxanthin has been show to prevent or slow the progression of macular degernation, cataracts, and glaucoma.
