Astaxanthin Reduces Blood Pressure
Kailua-Kona, Hawaii—A new study showed astaxanthin may decrease arterial blood pressure and protect against damage caused by stroke.
Astaxanthin significantly reduced arterial blood pressure and inhibited stroke in hypertensive rats, and reduced damage to the animals’ nervous systems caused by stroke. The researchers concluded the results of the study indicate astaxanthin can exert beneficial effects in protection against hypertension and stroke and in improving memory in vascular dementia.
The study was published in the January 2005 issue of Biological and Pharmaceutical Bulletin.
