Astaxanthin Skin Meta-AnalysisAlgae 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 Skin Meta-AnalysisObjective: 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.
Astaxanthin Skin Meta-AnalysisResults Collagen, flavanols, and other polyphenol supplements have been found to alleviate skin photoaging and increase MED or overall skin elasticity (R2) when compared to a placebo.1Yang Q (2025)Effectiveness of dietary supplements for skin photoaging in healthy adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Astaxanthin Skin Meta-AnalysisIt is important to note that, during the study period (typically ≤ 24 weeks), all orally administered dietary supplements were found to be safe.1Yang Q (2025)Effectiveness of dietary supplements for skin photoaging in healthy adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Astaxanthin Skin Meta-AnalysisConclusion Oral dietary supplements, such as collagen, flavanols, and polyphenols, have demonstrated effectiveness in addressing skin photoaging.1Yang Q (2025)Effectiveness of dietary supplements for skin photoaging in healthy adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Astaxanthin Skin Meta-AnalysisBackground The dietary supplement industry offers a wide range of orally consumed products that claim to combat skin photoaging, however, there is a lack of research on the proof of safety and effectiveness of dietary supplements in anti-skin photoaging.1Yang Q (2025)Effectiveness of dietary supplements for skin photoaging in healthy adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
