February 4th is World Cancer Day. As in the world, tumors have become the leading cause of death and morbidity in China. According to expert analysis, there are two reasons. First, the level of diagnosis has increased, and more and more tumor diseases have been diagnosed. On the other hand, the population is mainly elderly, and with the aging society, the number of Chinese elderly has increased. Some experts say that 1/3 of tumor diseases can be prevented, 1/3 can be treated, and 1/3 of patients can survive with long-term tumors. It is necessary to be alert to the fact that chronic diseases are not taken seriously and dragged into the middle and late stages of the tumor.

Many cancer patients often enter the middle and late stages when they are diagnosed. What is the cause? Many patients are not well conscious in this regard, so there is still a late stage in the diagnosis of patients. For example, many stomach cancers are based on chronic gastritis. If you are sick, you should take a stomach medicine. Pay attention to some short-term diets and drink less alcohol. This may have passed, but you have missed the best treatment period. Cancer rarely deteriorates abruptly, and a large part of it is because it does not take chronic diseases seriously, and it is not treated in time, and it has been dragged into the middle and late stages.

So, where do we start to prevent cancer? First, regular physical examinations, such as the age of more than 45 years old, should be carried out every year for physical examination, so that when the body is abnormal, diagnose and treat as soon as possible, without missing the best treatment period. At the same time pay attention to lifestyle, change to reduce bad habits, including smoking cessation, unhealthy diet, etc., and develop good habits to ensure adequate sleep and regular life rhythm. In addition, health care products can be used as appropriate to enhance the body's resistance to disease and prevent the progression of chronic diseases into tumors. The principle of prevention of diseases in health care products is actually anti-oxidation. Of all the antioxidants, astaxanthin proved to be the most powerful, and adherence to astaxanthin has a good preventive effect on tumors.

Studies have confirmed that certain cancers have a certain relationship with free radicals. Free radicals have strong oxidative properties, which can oxidize and damage lipids and proteins. In more serious cases, DNA can be broken, and genes can be mutated and cause cancer. At present, researchers have found that astaxanthin can effectively prevent and treat certain cancers, such as bladder cancer, oral cancer, and skin cancer. Astaxanthin can strengthen the normal cell gap junction ability, and put the carcinogen-induced cells in an extended communication network, in which normal cells predominate, isolate cancer cells, reduce the relationship between cancer cells, and stabilize carcinogen-induced Cells that control their growth. Prevent tumor transformation, thereby inhibiting or reducing the occurrence of cancer. Gap junction refers to a communication channel that exists between adjacent cells, which is formed by connexins, through which information is exchanged between tumor cells. During the transformation phase, astaxanthin can disrupt the exchange of information through the exchange of linker activation or reactivation information, disrupting information exchange and inhibiting induced cell deterioration.

Wang Zhencheng and other in vitro cultured colorectal cancer sw1116 cell line found that astaxanthin has a strong inhibitory effect on cancer cell proliferation, dose-related, high concentration of astaxanthin can kill tumor cells. Studies by Tanaka et al. showed that feeding rats and mice with astaxanthin 100-500 mg/kg significantly inhibited chemical-induced initial carcinogenesis, and had antiproliferative effects and enhanced immunity against epithelial cells exposed to carcinogens. The role of function, and this effect has a dose-effect relationship. Compared with the control group, the tumor incidence and tumor size in the high-dose group (500 mg/kg) were significantly lower than those in the control group and the low-dose group. Therefore, it is speculated that astaxanthin has significant anticancer properties. Astaxanthin can also induce transferase in the liver, significantly inhibiting mouse bladder cancer, rat oral cancer and colon cancer, gastric cancer, and its effect is more obvious than β-carotene. In addition, astaxanthin can also prevent the carcinogenicity of aflatoxin, and has a good effect on reducing the amount and volume of aflatoxin-induced liver tumor cells.

Astaxanthin is by far the most powerful antioxidant found in nature. The introduction of astaxanthin has revolutionized the antioxidant market, and the 21st century is the century of antioxidants. Astaxanthin and its extracts from natural algae sources have been widely used in developed countries such as Europe, America and Japan, and the current application range in China is also expanding. Yunnan Aier Technology Co., Ltd. is a company specializing in the extraction of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis. We hope that more people will learn about astaxanthin together with us and share the health gift of astaxanthin.
