Ever wondered what gives salmon its vibrant orange color? It’s a powerful compound that does much more than add color to foods. In this solo episode on the Longevity podcast, I dive into one of nature's most powerful antioxidants - Astaxanthin.
I discuss this carotenoid pigment produced by microalgae, found in foods like salmon, trout, and shrimp, and its numerous health benefits. I dive into the research that says this compound is 800 times stronger than CoQ10 and 6,000 times more potent than vitamin C and has been shown to improve immune function, brain health, joint health, cardiovascular health, and even diabetes management. I also discuss its potential for wound healing and skin health. Tune in because astaxanthin is definitely a compound worth keeping an eye on!
