What Is Canthaxanthin?

Canthaxanthin powder is a natural pigment with great potential as an antioxidant. It has the ability to quench active oxygen and scavenge free radicals. Its ability to quench active oxygen and scavenge free radicals is second only to astaxanthin. It is β- Carotene is nearly twice that of vitamin E and fifty times that of vitamin E, also known as super vitamin E. In 1984, FDA/WHO approved cantharidin as a food additive and formulated quality standards. Cantharidin has been widely used as colorant, nutrient and antioxidant to be added to food, feed and cosmetics. Natural cantharidin is present in very small amounts in certain mushrooms, crustaceans, fish, algae, eggs, blood, and liver, and cantharidin is also produced by certain microorganisms.
Canthaxanthin is also known as β-carotene-4,4'-dione, etc. It is one of the five main carotenoids. The vegetables and fruits we usually eat contain this substance in varying degrees. Canthaxanthin has antioxidant effects similar to other carotenoid compounds, and also has good coloring ability. Canthaxanthin has been widely used in the fields of food, nutrition, cosmetics and feed additives, and it plays a huge role.
It is also an important carotenoid, which widely exists in natural organisms. Because of its good coloring effect and high stability, it is often used as a colorant in food, feed, cosmetics, etc. At the same time, cantharidin is also widely used in the medical field because of its physiological functions. Cantharidin is similar to VE, astaxanthin, β-carotene, etc. in quenching free radicals, which can improve immunity, delay aging, prevent diseases of old age. The methods of obtaining anthrax mainly include natural raw material extraction, biological fermentation production and chemical synthesis production.

advantage

Cantharidin is a coloring agent, which has many advantages. First, the color tone after coloring is not affected by the pH value, and it is quite stable to sunlight and is not easy to fade. Second, it can change the skin and fat of poultry. It is a chemically synthesized pigment, and the active ingredient is canthaxanthin. It is mainly added to poultry feed to increase the color and brightness of skin, feet, ketone bodies and eggs. Third, cantharidin can also be used as an antioxidant to protect cells in animals from free radiation.

What Are The Benefits?

Anti-oxidation
It is an excellent photoprotectant and antioxidant. A large number of clinical trials have shown that the combination of canthaxanthin and β-carotene is much better than using β-carotene alone in the treatment of patients with hematopoietic protoporphyrin (EPP) and compound photopathy (PMLE). The intake of cantharidin can enhance the activity of glutathione peroxidase, catalase, superoxide dismutase, etc., and efficiently regulate the balance of oxidation-antioxidation system in organisms, thereby inhibiting cholesterol-induced oxidative stress.
improve immunity
Canthaxanthin powder has immunomodulatory activity and acts as an immunomodulatory compound in humans. Cantharidin improves the body's immunity by improving the phagocytosis of macrophages, promoting lymphocyte transformation, increasing the number of lymphocytes, and enhancing the vitality of natural killer cells.
Protect skin health
Excessive exposure of unprotected skin to sunlight can lead to sunburn, which can cause photoinduced oxidation, inflammation, immunosuppression, aging, and even canceration of skin cells. Preclinical studies have shown that typical dietary antioxidants can attenuate these impairments. Cantharidin has a good curative effect on congenital photodermatosis, especially the treatment of polymorphic light eruption. It is also able to block light-induced skin problems and UV-induced immune suppression.
Protect bone health
Canthaxanthin can effectively defend against and reduce oxidative damage to osteoblasts, and then protect osteoblast proliferation by quenching free radicals and promote bone formation. Studies have found that cantharidin can effectively enhance osteoblast proliferation and alleviate differentiation. It shows that cantharidin may be involved in the regulation of bone metabolism. Coupled with its strong antioxidant capacity, it may have certain significance in the prevention or auxiliary treatment of senile osteoporosis.
