Some Of The Benefits One Can Get From The Use Of Canthaxanthin

By Haywood Hunter


Canthaxanthin can be described as a carotenoid that naturally occurs in different living organisms. It can also be produced scientifically in the laboratory for commercial purposes. It has a number of benefits as discussed in the paragraphs below.

The photochemical is effective in treating sensitivity to light otherwise referred to as photosensitivity. Photosensitive people adversely react to light and most likely to complain of itchy skin, rashes and eczema. Those who also develop photosensitivity due to the intake of certain medications can also get help by taking this chemical in doses. However, most of the people showing reactions to light have a rare condition called erythropoeitic protorphyria.

People suffering from prostate cancer have also reacted very well to the chemical. This is a form of cancer affecting the prostate gland of the male reproductive system. It does not have any early symptoms though some people report urinary discomfort. About eighty percent of men who knock age eighty are diagnosed with it. This substance has been proven to destroy cancerous cells.

Those who are obese can also use the chemical to help them reduce weight. Obesity is a condition where excessive fat, more than physical needs of the body, accumulate to unhealthy levels. This can cause many problems, which include type 2 diabetes, some forms of cancer, sleep apnea, heart diseases and osteoarthritis. The chemical therefore reduces chances of ever catching these life threatening complications.

The chemical is also said to improve productivity in farming when mixed with animal feeds. It improves the color of egg yolk and skins of salmon, trout etc. This in turn increases sales and productivity for farmers. However, they need to consult with the experts first on the right quantities to give to the animals. The substance has also been widely adopted by both pharmaceutical and cosmetics manufactures in the production of both medicines and beauty products.

The substance is found in considerable quantities in a number of plants including paprika, green algae and crustaceans. It is responsible for the yellow or orange pigment in vegetables and carrots. It is a member of the carotenoids class. This class consists of biological pigments needed for vital metabolic reactions and coloring in living organisms. They are found in roots of plants, leaves and fruits and also in marine invertebrates.

It is safe to consume the chemical in food quantities but it may have harmful effects when taken in amounts similar to those used for commercial purposes. Those who have consumed the carotenoid in the un-recommended levels have also reported a number of complications. These are loss of vision, eye damage and diarrhea amongst many other side effects to be mentioned later. It is very important to talk to a doctor before consuming the chemical.

Expectant mothers are also discouraged from the use of canthaxanthin as it may harmfully affect them. Some of the effects may include eye damage, diarrhea, skin itchiness and rashes. The recommended doses for treatment using the chemical are between 60 to 90mg daily consumed for three to five months per year. Seeking the advice from a doctor is still advisable.
