Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring pigment belonging to the carotenoid family. It is found in various organisms, including algae, yeast, salmon, trout, shrimp, and other marine creatures. Astaxanthin is responsible for the pink or reddish color observed in many of these organisms.
Astaxanthin has gained attention for its potential health benefits, primarily due to its strong antioxidant properties. Antioxidants help combat oxidative stress in the body, which is linked to various chronic diseases and aging processes.
