【Task】 Provided is an active oxygen inhibitor that suppresses active oxygen in order to prevent oxidation of easily oxidizable components such as lipids of foods and pharmaceuticals. Of the materials that can be used in foods and pharmaceuticals, it is necessary to exert an effect in a small amount that does not affect the texture and taste. Furthermore, foods and pharmaceuticals containing this active oxygen inhibitor are provided. [Solution] By using astaxanthin and curcumin in combination, the active oxygen suppression performance is greater than when used alone. Astaxanthin and curcumin are naturally derived components and are effective as antioxidants for foods and drinks. Moreover, by ingesting orally, it exhibits a function of suppressing active oxygen even in vivo. [Selection] Figure 1 |
