Description:
Astaxanthin is a ketone or carotenoid that is pink in color, fat-soluble, insoluble in water, and soluble in organic solvents. It is widely present in the biological world, especially in the feathers of aquatic animals such as shrimp, crab, fish, and birds, where it plays a coloring role. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid that is not a source of vitamin A and cannot be converted into chemical vitamin A in the animal body. Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble and water-soluble pigment that exists in marine organisms such as shrimp, crab, salmon, and algae. The human body cannot synthesize astaxanthin on its own. It is the strongest antioxidant in nature. Its antioxidant activity is 550 times that of vitamin E and 10 times that of �²-carotene, so it is called the "king of antioxidants"
