Market Fundamentals
Astaxanthin is a reddish pigment that belongs to a group of chemicals called carotenoids. It occurs naturally in certain algae and causes the pink or red color in salmon, trout, lobster, shrimp, and other seafood. Numerous studies support the use of astaxanthin as a potent antioxidant that can prove beneficial in reducing the risks of certain chronic diseases. It may also help to bring down oxidative stress in the nervous system, and in turn, reducing the risk of neurodegenerative diseases. The natural sources of astaxanthin are algae, yeast, salmon, trout, krill, shrimp, and crayfish. The commercial astaxanthin is primarily obtained from Phaffia yeast, Haematococcus, and through chemical synthesis.
