Recent advances in the health benefits of astaxanthin supplementation and its immunomodulatory potential in exercise: A review

Astaxanthin is a natural ketocarotenoid with very high antioxidant properties that can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress and improve the immune response. Also, various studies have shown that exercise, in turn, can be one of the factors that cause oxidative stress and naturally disrupt the body's immune responses. Since athletes are always exposed to oxidative stress and its side effects, the use of antioxidants and supplements with antioxidant properties and low side effects is a priority. Since few studies have been conducted on the potential effect of astaxanthin on immune responses and its mechanism of action in athletes. Therefore, in this review study, the effect of astaxanthin supplementation on oxidative stress factors and the immune system of athletes has been investigated.
