Research results of a three week study among 23 Overweight and Obese participants ( Randomized double blind study) consuming 5mg or 20mg Astazanthin per day showed a decrease in levels of molandialdehyde (MDA- reactive carbonyl compound, a well established marker of oxidative stress) of about 35% in both dosage groups compared to levels at the start of the study.
In addition, isoprostane levels ( another oxidative stress marker) wrer reduced by 65% in both groups.
The study also observed an increase in levels of superoxide dismutase (SOD), an antioxidant enzyme, of 193% as wll as an injcrease of about 123% in total antioxidant capacity in the blood.
