What is Astaxanthin?
Astaxanthin is a member of the carotenoid family, a class of more than 750 naturally occurring pigments synthesized by plants, algae, and bacteria. Astaxanthin is a red carotenoid pigment found in certain marine plants and animals. Sometimes called "the king of the carotenoids," it's packed with antioxidants that promote optimal health. For example, it may support healthy aging, especially for the heart and other important muscles, by helping to protect the body from the damages wrought by everyday exposure to environmental toxins, irritants, and stressors.
