摘要：This study investigated the effect of a dietary supplement containing astaxanthin-rich extract derived from Paracoccus carotinifaciens (astaxanthin supplement) on the status of stress and sleep in individuals aged 20–64 years. Twenty-five subjects orally administered 12 mg astaxanthin/day of astaxanthin supplement for 8 weeks (astaxanthin group) and 29 subjects given a placebo (placebo group) were evaluated with Profile of Mood States 2nd Edition for stress and Oguri–Shirakawa–Azumi Sleep Inventory for Middle-aged and Aged version for sleep. We did not observe any significant intergroup differences in the stress and sleep. A subgroup analysis was performed after dividing the subjects into two groups: those who scored >65 and those who scored ≤65 in the “Depression–Dejection” dimension of Profile of Mood States 2nd Edition. The sleep of subjects who scored >65 (”Depression–Dejection”) showed significant improvement in the astaxanthin group compared with the placebo group, whereas no significant improvement was observed in stress and the other subjects. Our results indicate that people who tend to be strongly depressed may experience improved sleep after ingesting astaxanthin supplement. On the basis of the parameters tested, administration of astaxanthin supplement was not associated with any problems related to safety.
