Brief Introduction

Astaxanthin is a natural nutritional component, it can be found as a food supplement. The supplement is intended for human, animal, and aquaculture consumption.

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid. It belongs to a larger class of phytochemicals known as terpenes, which are built from five carbon precursors; isopentenyl diphosphate and dimethylallyl diphosphate . Astaxanthin is classified as a xanthophyll (originally derived from a word meaning “yellow leaves” since yellow plant leaf pigments were the first recognized of the xanthophyll family of carotenoids), but currently employed to describe carotenoid compounds that have oxygen-containing moities, hydroxyl or ketone , such as zeaxanthin and canthaxanthin. Indeed, astaxanthin is a metabolite of zeaxanthin and/or canthaxanthin, containing both hydroxyl and ketone functional groups. Like many carotenoids, astaxanthin is a colorful, lipid-soluble pigment. This colour is due to the extended chain of conjugated (alternating double and single) double bonds at the centre of the compound. This chain of conjugated double bonds is also responsible for the antioxidant function of astaxanthin (as well as other carotenoids) as it results in a region of decentralized electrons that can be donated to reduce a reactive oxidizing molecule.

Function:

1.Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant and may protect against oxidative damage to body tissues.

2.Astaxanthin can improve the immune response by increasing the number of antibody producing cells.

3.Astaxanthin is a potential candidate to treat neurodegenerative disease such as Alzhimer and Parkinson diease.

4.Astaxanthin dan reduce UVA-light damage to skin such as sunburn, inflammation, ageing and skin cancer.

Application

1.When applied in pharmaceutical field, astaxanthin powder has the good function of antineoplastic;

2.When applied in health food field, astaxanthin powder is used as food additives for pigment and health care;

3.When applied in cosmetic field, astaxanthin powder has the good function of antioxidant and anti-aging;

4.When applied in animal feeds field, astaxanthin powder is used as animal feed additive to impart coloration, including farm-raised salmon and egg yolks.

Okra, also known as “lady’s finger” is one of the popular nutritious vegetables in the world.

It has long been favored as a food for the health-conscious as it contains several vitamins and important minerals.

This vegetable has also been suggested to help manage blood sugar in cases of type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes.
Because it’s an ancient crop used for food from way back, okra was known as a bona fide medicinal.

The leaves were used for pain relief and urinary problems. In some parts of the world, Okra is a remedy to help ensure a safe delivery for pregnant mothers.

Benefits Of Okra:

* Helps Prevent Diabetes

Researchers attributed this result to okra’s high fiber content, which helps to stabilize blood sugar by regulating the rate at which sugar is absorbed from the intestinal tract.

* Treats Kidney Disease

Study found that regularly consuming cooked okra could help prevent kidney disease. Those who ate okra daily reduced clinical signs of kidney damage more than those that simply ate a diabetic diet.

* Supports Colon Health

The polysaccharides present in immature okra pods possessed considerable antiadhesive properties which helps remove the adhesive between bacteria and stomach tissue, preventing the cultures from spreading. Therefore, eating more okra can keep the stomach clean and create an environment that prevents destructive cultures from flourishing.

* Okra Promotes a Healthy Pregnancy

Okra is rich in both folate and vitamin C which are essential for fetal development. Folate helps in maintaining new cells while vitamin C helps prevent birth defects like spina bifida and helps the baby to grow sufficiently.

Cranberries are known to treat UTI. It has been proven to be very effective even to treat other health problems. It contains Proanthocyanidins which are also called as the tannins, a type of organic chemical compound, that have been condensed. These compounds have act a specific way of functioning which block the bacteria from attaching themselves to the surface, linings of the specific body part, especially the linings in the urethra.
