Astaxanthin Description
Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment, renowned for its potent antioxidant properties, which is significantly stronger than other antioxidants like vitamin E and beta-carotene. It is derived from microalgae, yeast, salmon, trout, krill, shrimp, and crayfish. Astaxanthin is responsible for the vibrant red-pink color observed in many marine organisms. Its antioxidant capabilities are utilized to combat oxidative stress, support skin health, enhance visual acuity, boost immune function, and improve cardiovascular health, making it a sought-after ingredient in dietary supplements, skincare products, and functional foods for its comprehensive health benefits.
