Abstract

Astaxanthin, a xanthophyll carotenoid, is an abundant carotenoid in marine organisms and a very potent natural compound with remarkable anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity. Rheumatic diseases are inflammatory conditions with excessive oxidative stress. Since non-pharmacological therapy is expanding and natural ingredients are gradually introduced to the therapeutic argumentum of rheumatic diseases, astaxanthin might be a potential candidate. A systematic review on the topic disclosed only one study with some beneficial effects on Sjogren’s syndrome. Supplementation with Ast might represent a good candidate to evaluate. Further studies on Astaxanthin are highly needed.
