Antioxidant, protects the cardiovascular system
Astaxanthin possesses powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which help neutralize reactive oxygen species and nitrogenous compounds in the body, thereby protecting cardiovascular health. These properties make it play an important role in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, especially atherosclerosis. Data indicate that astaxanthin is a safe over-the-counter supplement that can improve lipid profiles and CVD (cardiovascular disease) risk markers in patients with prediabetes and dyslipidemia.
Research Report
In summary, AX (astaxanthin) acts on a variety of biological defenses not only directly and indirectly through its potent antioxidant activity, but also through direct action on the AMPK/Sirtuins/PGC-1a pathway and others. This action should be taken with full consideration of a better understanding of the biological activities of AX and other carotenoids. The activation of mitochondria and their function as a biological defense system should be more effectively understood in relation to various diseases associated with energy metabolism and aging (e.g., metabolic syndromes including T2DM, dyslipidemia and steatohepatitis, frailty in aging including cognitive impairment, cachexia, and sarcopenia).

Supports eye development and protects vision
Studies have shown that lutein and its isomers play an important role in intrauterine and lifelong eye development, visual performance in adolescence and late adulthood, and in reducing the risk of developing common age-related eye diseases.

RYR (red yeast rice) 200~4800 mg/day is a safe and effective drug for treating hyperlipidemia. It can effectively regulate blood lipid levels and has a significant effect on triglycerides.
Research Report
The controlled trial found that the intervention group experienced a 36 mg/dL (22%) reduction in LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol and a 37 mg/dL (15%) reduction in total cholesterol. This result was statistically significant compared to the control group. The RYR formula currently under investigation is shown to effectively lower cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in this study population. For patients intolerant to statins or who object to lipid-lowering medications, RYR (red yeast rice) therapy may be an attractive and relatively well-studied alternative. According to research by the NCEP group, in patients with hyperlipidemia whose condition did not improve during a one-month dietary therapy period, repeated intake of processed foods containing red yeast rice at 1g/day significantly helped reduce total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels by approximately 10%. European clinical trial reports also show that consuming red yeast rice containing 3-10mg of monacolin K can significantly improve hypercholesterolemia.
Research Report
Adolescents' vitamin D status is positively correlated with bone density; therefore, maintaining adequate vitamin D levels during adolescence is crucial for preventing low bone density.
Research Report
Improve arterial calcification
Vascular calcification is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality in end-stage renal disease, particularly in hemodialysis patients. Vitamin D deficiency has been shown to be associated with vascular calcification in these patients. Cholecalciferol, or vitamin D3, has been proposed to have a significant effect on both vascular calcification and vitamin D deficiency.
Research Report
Numerous experiments have shown that vitamin D regulates innate immune responses by directly affecting the function of monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells (DCs) and the secretion of related cytokines. Vitamin D also influences adaptive immune responses, including the development and progression of many autoimmune diseases, by regulating the activation, proliferation, and differentiation of T and B cells.

Indicates female ovulation and improves embryo quality
Coenzyme Q10 pretreatment resulted in significantly lower gonadotropin requirements and higher peak E2 levels. Women in the Coenzyme Q10 group obtained an increased number of oocytes, higher fertilization rates, and higher-quality embryos. Compared to the control group, women treated with Coenzyme Q10 had a significantly lower rate of embryo transfer cancellations due to poor embryo development, and more frozen embryos were available.
Research Report
Oral coenzyme Q10 can improve subjective fatigue and physical performance in fatigue-induced load tests and prevent adverse reactions caused by physical fatigue.
Research Report
Relieve asthma and allergic rhinitis
Allergic asthma is an inflammatory disease caused by persistent or intermittent exposure to allergens. Allergic rhinitis can trigger asthma. The main mechanisms of these diseases are allergic reactions and immune dysregulation. Coenzyme Q10, an enzyme cofactor in mitochondria, can control asthma and allergic rhinitis symptoms. Co-Q10 treatment increases Nrf2 expression and Nrf2-induced antioxidant genes, glutathione redox and inflammation inhibition, oxidative stress damage, Th2 cytokine production, and attenuation of allergic inflammatory responses.
Research Report
Improves heart failure and protects the cardiovascular system.
Coenzyme Q10 is an essential cofactor for energy production and a powerful antioxidant. Low levels of myocardial coenzyme Q10 are associated with the severity of heart failure. Studies have found that long-term use of coenzyme Q10 is safe for patients with chronic heart failure, and can improve symptoms and reduce major adverse cardiovascular events.
Research Report
Phosphatidylinoserine is a major component of nerves. It can nourish and activate the activity of various enzymes in the brain, slow down the reduction of neurotransmitters, repair brain damage by flipping to the outer side of cells, clear harmful substances, improve attention, concentration, and improve hyperactivity. Phosphatidylserine can significantly reduce the levels of excessive stress hormones in people engaged in stressful work, thereby promoting concentration, improving alertness and memory, and alleviating negative emotions.
Research Report
PS significantly improved ADHD symptoms and short-term auditory memory in children. PS supplementation may be a safe and natural nutritional strategy to improve the psychological performance of young children with ADHD.
Research Report
Supplementing with Omega-3 & 6 and antioxidants for 6 months effectively improved hair density, reduced hair root rate, and decreased the proportion of miniaturized pre-collagen hairs. Subjects' perceptions of the therapeutic effect confirmed the improvements measured objectively.
Research Report
Fish oil and its related active substances, such as Omega-3 and Omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids, have been shown to help maintain skin homeostasis and improve skin abnormalities. The fatty acids in fish oil can improve skin barrier function, inhibit UV-induced inflammation and hyperpigmentation, alleviate dryness and itching caused by dermatitis, accelerate skin wound healing, and prevent the development of skin cancer.
Research Report
Dose-response meta-analysis suggests that the optimal combined intake of omega-3 fatty acids for lowering blood pressure is likely between 2 g/day and 3 g/day. Intakes exceeding the recommended 3 g/day of omega-3 fatty acids may be associated with lowering blood pressure in individuals at high risk of cardiovascular disease.
Research Report
Studies have shown that EPA and DHA supplementation is an effective lifestyle choice for preventing cardiovascular disease, and its protective effect may increase with increasing dosage.
Research Report
Prescription Omega-3 (EPA+DHA or EPA only) at a dose of 4 g/day (>3 g/day total EPA+DHA) is an effective and safe option for lowering triglycerides, either as a monotherapy or as adjunctive therapy to other lipid-lowering agents.

Relieve joint pain and improve joint function
Studies have found that supplementing with Omega-3 fatty acids can effectively relieve pain and improve joint function in patients with osteoarthritis (OA).
