• What are antioxidants? What are they used for?

    Every metabolism in the human body is accompanied by the redox processes, which in
    turn produces harmful free radicals.

    Free radicals are by-products of normal metabolism, and free radicals are also the root
    cause of human aging and almost all diseases.

    Scientists have confirmed that 80% of the aging process, more than 120 diseases, and
    more than 90% of cancers are closely related to free radicals.

    Antioxidants are unique molecules, which can Trap Free Radicals and Inhibit the
    Oxidative Process in the Body.

    Common antioxidants include vitamin C, vitamin E, astaxanthin, anthocyanins, beta-
    carotene, lycopene, tea polyphenols, selenium, and more.

    Natural astaxanthin is the strongest natural antioxidant in the world, its antioxidant
    capacity is 6,000 times that of vitamin C, 1,000 times that of vitamin E, 1,800 times
    that of lycopene, and 320 times that of tea polyphenols.

    Astaxanthin can effectively remove free radicals in cells, enhance cell regeneration,
    reduce the accumulation of senescent cells, and delay the aging process of cells.

    Shrimp and crab are the foods that contain the most natural astaxanthin, and 1000
    grams of shrimp and crab contain about 80 to 100 mg of astaxanthin.

    Today, more and more people are consuming foods rich in antioxidants to boost their
    immunity and resistance, and slow down the body's aging process.

    Eating shrimp and crab is an easy, effective way to get natural astaxanthin.
