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.

The vitamins and antioxidants in many plants have a natural color to them. This means you can literally see the nutrition in a potent natural skincare product. Vitamin A carotenoid compounds like in Sea Buckthorn oil and Rosehip seed oil are red. Grape seed proanthocyanidins are purple, and pomegranate extract is yellow. When you see color in a truly natural skincare product it is actually because of how pure and true that product is to the original source material. If there’s no color you might want to question if there’s actually enough nutrition for your skin.

With Blissoma skincare products the color is the proof of how authentically potent all our products are.

Garlic – Preparing It, Helpful Pointers and Interesting Facts
The stinking rose, as garlic was once known, is more than just smelly. It has many health benefits and is even an aphrodisiac. Please see my other video on garlic for this information, I will post a link. In this video I will be covering the proper ways to use garlic, some helpful pointers and interesting facts.
First off, before you can eat this amazing vegetable and herb, since it is known to be both. You must peel it, the easiest ways that I have found are: if you only need a few cloves you can peel them under running water by using your fingers and they do peel very easily. If you need a whole head or more, Place the entire garlic head inside a jar and shake the jar vigorously for a few minutes. Then take the cloves out of the jar and most of the peels should be removed. Now, how do you remove the garlic smell from your hands, simply do this by running your hands under cold water while rubbing a stainless steel object.
Raw, freshly minced garlic has the most health benefits. If you cannot stand the smell and must cook it, you need at least four and a half cloves to get the same effect. Also, The flavor of garlic is most intense just after it has been minced. If your garlic has sprouted, it is still usable although it has lost some of its flavor and health benefits.
To get the most health benefits from garlic, let it sit for a minimum of 5 minutes, after cutting and before eating. Waiting 5–10 minutes allows the health-promoting allicin to form. If you do not let it sit, allicin is never formed, so it is worth the wait.
A little information on cooking garlic. It’s important that you’re preparing garlic the right way, as improper preparation and consumption could cancel out the positive effects. You need to follow first the steps just mentioned, crush the garlic at room temperature and allow it to sit for about 10 minutes. In addition, never cook garlic at high heat and wait until the last 10 minutes of cooking to add the garlic.
Lastly, how to handle the garlic smell on your breath, you can do this by drinking lemon juice or eating a few slices of lemon. Better yet you can put an end to the odor a different way, consume garlic with parsley, as the herb counters garlic’s bad smell.
Some Helpful Pointers about Garlic:
• One clove a day will improve your health and 2-3 cloves will help prevent a cold.
• Be careful about taking too much as it can irritate your digestive system.
• Don’t microwave garlic as this kills the active ingredients.
• Garlic supplements may interact with certain drugs.
• Always consult a doctor if you are unsure about anything.
Now for some interesting facts about garlic:
If your rose garden is being attacked by aphids, an excellent home remedy to get rid of them is to spritz the leaves and blooms with a mixture of crushed garlic and water. The recipe is on your screen.
In ancient Greece, brides carried bouquets of herbs and garlic, not flowers.
A crushed clove of raw garlic, gently rubbed on skin, can zap a pesky pimple.
The city of Chicago is named after garlic. ‘Chicagaoua’ was the Indian word for wild garlic which grew abundantly in the area.
Catch more catfish, carp and other bottom feeding fish with garlic. Fish are so attracted to the scent of garlic that you can buy bait with the smell built in.
The sticky juice that is in garlic cloves is often used as an adhesive, especially for delicate projects that involve fragile items like glass. You just need to crush the cloves to get to the sticky stuff which works well as a bonding agent for smaller jobs.
And lastly, did you know that April 19th is National Garlic Day. So let’s enjoy the amazing health benefits of the garlic.
Thank you for watching!
Good Day and Good Health
