How it works
Astaxanthin supports muscle recovery from exercise by depositing in muscle mitochondria to help to maintain blood glucose levels, promote fat utilization for energy, combat oxidative damage to muscle tissue as well as exercise-induced systemic inflammation.
Huskey-Pointer crossbred dogs who received a post-exercise natural astaxanthin recovery supplement returned to pre-exercise blood glucose levels faster than dogs who received no recovery supplement, and faster than dogs who received a protein and carbohydrate recovery supplement without astaxanthin. Astaxanthin supplemented dogs had no drop in blood glucose levels because astaxanthin promoted use of fat for energy, which gram for gram is a more efficient energy source.
