Astaxanthin pour Oxidative Stress

C

Small randomized trials show astaxanthin supplementation may enhance IgM and IgG immunoglobulin production and T-cell function. Evidence is early-stage but consistent across multiple small trials, with astaxanthin's potent antioxidant capacity well-established.
