Astaxanthin: a promising supplement to reduce inflammation and cellular stress in PCOS
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal disorder in women of reproductive age, characterized by chronic inflammation, elevated oxidative stress, and abnormalities in cell death mechanisms (apoptosis). These biological imbalances contribute to issues such as irregular ovulation, hormonal disturbances, and other PCOS symptoms.

In this context, astaxanthin (ASX), a potent antioxidant, is being investigated for its potential to reduce inflammation and improve cellular function by modulating endoplasmic reticulum stress and apoptosis. These effects may enhance ovarian function and provide new therapeutic avenues for women with PCOS.
