Natural Astaxanthin is commercially produced from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis under stress conditions that trigger massive astaxanthin accumulation.
It is the most powerful carotenoid antioxidant (6,000× stronger than vitamin C, 550× stronger than vitamin E). Used in dietary supplements for skin, eye and cardiovascular health, in aquaculture for salmon/shrimp pigmentation, and as a natural food colourant.
