Deletion of fatty acid transport protein 2 (FATP2) in the mouse liver changes the metabolic landscape by increasing the expression of PPARalpha-regulated genes
The difference is that esterified astaxanthin has a fatty molecule attached, while non-esterified astaxanthin is free. In basic terms, esterified astaxanthin is natural, and non-esterified astaxanthin is largely a synthetic, chemical version
Further investigations targeting this disparity are warranted based on a study protocol designed to assess neurodegeneration and neuronal loss specifically in 5xFAD mice approaching one year of age [39]
The formula also incorporates a blend of fruit-derived extractsincluding bilberry, sugar cane, citrus, and sugar mapleplus sodium glycolate (a salt form of glycolic acid thats gentler and less active), which has a subtle exfoliating effect to help skin look smoother and more radiant
