Astaxanthin Exercise Performance Randomized TrialAstaxanthin significantly reduced creatine kinase levels (SMD = -0.45, 95% CI: -0.83 to -0.07).1Liu S (2026)The Effects of Astaxanthin Supplementation on Exercise Recovery Biomarkers and Exercise Performance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Astaxanthin Exercise Performance Randomized TrialConclusions : Current evidence suggests that astaxanthin may be more beneficial for post-exercise recovery than for direct performance enhancement.1Liu S (2026)The Effects of Astaxanthin Supplementation on Exercise Recovery Biomarkers and Exercise Performance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Astaxanthin Exercise Performance Randomized TrialBackground : Astaxanthin is a lipid-soluble carotenoid with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, but its effects on exercise performance and post-exercise recovery remain uncertain.1Liu S (2026)The Effects of Astaxanthin Supplementation on Exercise Recovery Biomarkers and Exercise Performance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Astaxanthin Exercise Performance Randomized TrialThis systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the effects of astaxanthin supplementation on exercise performance and recovery-related biomarkers in healthy participants and athletes.1Liu S (2026)The Effects of Astaxanthin Supplementation on Exercise Recovery Biomarkers and Exercise Performance: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Astaxanthin Exercise Performance Randomized TrialAlgae supplementation showed a suggestive improvement in VO 2 max (SMD = 0.88, 95% CI: 0.00-1.75) and significantly improved in TTE (SMD = 1.06, 95% CI: 0.16-1.96), with smaller effects on WRmax (SMD = 0.29, 95% CI: 0.03-0.55), and no significant benefit for TT performance (SMD = -0.27, 95% CI: -0.74 to 0.21).1Wei Y (2026)The Effects of Seaweed and Microalgae Supplementation on Exercise Performance and Recovery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Astaxanthin Exercise Performance Randomized TrialRegarding recovery, CK concentrations were significantly reduced (SMD = -0.78, 95% CI: -1.28 to -0.28).1Wei Y (2026)The Effects of Seaweed and Microalgae Supplementation on Exercise Performance and Recovery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Astaxanthin Exercise Performance Randomized TrialSensitivity analyses supported the robustness of the main findings with minimal evidence of publication bias.1Wei Y (2026)The Effects of Seaweed and Microalgae Supplementation on Exercise Performance and Recovery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Astaxanthin Exercise Performance Randomized TrialObjective: Seaweed and microalgae provide antioxidants, polyunsaturated fatty acids, and bioactive compounds that may enhance exercise performance and accelerate recovery.1Wei Y (2026)The Effects of Seaweed and Microalgae Supplementation on Exercise Performance and Recovery: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
