Product Description
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid pigment found mostly in animal organisms, but also occurring in plants. It is thought to be the precursor of astacin. It is a potent lipid-soluble antioxidant. It has broad application prospects in health products, medicine, cosmetics, food additives and aquaculture. Astaxanthin is a natural antioxidant with the strongest antioxidant and anti-aging ability in nature, and its antioxidant capacity is much higher than VE and β-carotene. It significantly enhances mitochondrial activity required for cell recombination and effectively protects the skin from UVA, UVB and blue light damage.
