• Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring pigment that belongs to the carotenoid family. It is found in several types of marine organisms, such as algae, shrimp, krill, and salmon, where it provides the characteristic red or pink color.

  One of the notable features of astaxanthin is its powerful antioxidant properties. It is known to be significantly more potent than other well-known antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, or beta-carotene. Antioxidants help protect the body's cells from damage caused by free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can contribute to various health issues and accelerate the aging process.

  Astaxanthin is not only a potent antioxidant but also has potential anti-inflammatory effects and may support various aspects of human health. It has been studied for potential benefits in cardiovascular health, eye health, brain health, exercise performance, skin health, and more.

  Astaxanthin is available as a dietary supplement in capsule or softgel form. It is also sometimes used as a natural food coloring in certain products, including salmon fillets and some nutritional supplements.
  

At present, astaxanthin is widely used in aquaculture, food, cosmetics and other fields as a functional pigment. It is mainly used as a feed additive for fish, shrimp, crabs and other crustaceans and poultry to improve the reproductive ability and survival rate of livestock and fish, improve health status, and optimize body color and meat quality. Natural astaxanthin has been used as a food additive for food coloring, preservation and nutrition enhancement. Studies have shown that astaxanthin helps keep trout fillets fresh. In recent years, with the deepening of biological function research and pharmacological experiments of astaxanthin, astaxanthin has attracted great attention from the scientific community because of its effect in the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases, cancer, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, neurodegenerative diseases, eye diseases, skin diseases and other diseases. It shows that astaxanthin has great potential application value and broad development prospect in the fields of medicine and health products.
