Natural
Astaxanthin Powder
Astaxanthin, a member of the carotenoid family, is an oxygenated red-orange
pigment.
Professor Basil Weedon was the first to map the structure of
astaxanthin.
Astaxanthin is found in microalgae, yeast, salmon, trout, shrimp,
crustaceans,
and other sources. However, Haematococcus pluvialis appears to be
the best source of astaxanthin.
Astaxanthin cannot be synthesized by human and
it must be provided in the diet.
Astaxanthin has been proven to be one of the
most powerful anti-oxidants yet discovered.
University study shows Astaxanthin
to be up to 550 effective than Vitamin E
and 4 times than lutein in various
antioxidant capacities.
