5. Live Longer
Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid found in marine plants and animals (like krill). It’s also one of the most powerful antioxidants available…
And according to research at The University of Hawaii John A. Burns School of Medicine, it may help switch on a longevity gene identified as FOXO3. Mice that received larger amounts of this carotenoid antioxidant had a 90% increase in the activation of this gene, demonstrating how critical astaxanthin is to good health and a long life.
With all of these benefits, carotenoids could be responsible for helping you live longer. In fact, mortality studies show that high carotenoid intake significantly reduces your risk of death from all causes.
