Abstract: | Belonging to the group of naturally occurring pigments known as carotenoids, Astaxanthin is known for the red or pink colour it gives to the many species in which it is found. In particular, Astaxanthin is present in the marine environment and its reddish pigment is easily observed in aquatic animals including salmon, trout, lobster and shrimp. Astaxanthin is proven to provide a wide range of health benefits to the human body. These include cardiovascular diseases, neurological disorders, ophthalmic diseases, dermatological diseases, bone diseases, immunological diseases and obstetric and oncological conditions. |
