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.
