WHAT IS ASTAXANTHIN? Astaxanthin is considered one of the most potent antioxidants known to man. Research has shown that it can fight free radicals 6,000 times more efficiently than vitamin C, 550 times more powerfully than vitamin C E and 40 times more efficiently than beta-carotene. So, where does astaxanthin come from? Well, it is a bright red pigment produced naturally in freshwater microalgae and once it is eaten, it imparts krill, algae, salmon, and lobster with their red/orange colour. In fact, astaxanthin is present in most red-coloured aquatic organisms.
