UV Inner Protect Product Features
### Functional Ingredient: 3mg of Astaxanthin ◆Notification Number: J179
Functional Claim: This product contains astaxanthin, which has antioxidant properties. It has been reported that astaxanthin has the functionality to help protect the skin from UV stimulation and the functionality to protect skin moisture by preventing dryness in skin exposed to UV rays.
Astaxanthin, with its antioxidant properties, protects the skin from within and supports skin moisture. Furthermore, we have condensed ingredients such as placenta extract into a single capsule. It is a supplement that supports an active daily life, helping you protect your skin from UV damage and not give in to UV rays.
Functional Ingredient: Astaxanthin — Estimated Mechanism of Action on Skin
Research review papers have evaluated that astaxanthin reduces active oxygen* generated by ultraviolet (UV) rays, which cause significant skin damage. It suppresses skin damage, protects the skin, and inhibits the increase of collagen-degrading enzymes, thereby preserving skin moisture.
~What is the functional ingredient: Astaxanthin?~
It is a type of carotenoid (natural pigment), the same as lycopene in tomatoes and β-carotene in carrots. It is a red pigment found in salmon, shrimp, crab, and red sea bream; it is said that salmon meat is red because it stores astaxanthin in its body.
The raw material for this supplement is produced from Haematococcus pluvialis (a microalgae). While normally green, it produces astaxanthin to protect itself when subjected to stress such as UV rays or dryness, turning red. This property is utilized for cultivation and extraction to be used as a raw material.
Astaxanthin has the ability to prevent oxidation (rusting) that occurs in the body. Its power is said to be approximately 550 to 1000 times that of vitamin E, supporting skin moisture. In addition to caring for UV-induced damage, its utility is attracting attention.
