Astaxanthin is A non-vitamin A carotenoid that cannot be converted into vitamin A in animals. Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble and water-soluble pigment found in shrimp, crab, salmon, algae and other Marine organisms. The human body cannot synthesize astaxanthin itself.

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.
