What Is Astaxanthin?

Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment known for its distinctive red-orange colour. It belongs to a group of pigments found in certain plants, algae and marine organisms.

One of the best-known natural sources of astaxanthin is Haematococcus pluvialis, a type of freshwater microalga. Astaxanthin is also associated with the pink and reddish colouring found in marine organisms such as salmon, shrimp and krill.

As a food supplement, astaxanthin is available in measured amounts, commonly in capsule or softgel form.

Natural Astaxanthin Supplements

Many astaxanthin supplements contain astaxanthin derived from microalgae, particularly Haematococcus pluvialis.

When choosing a natural astaxanthin supplement, it's worth checking the source of the ingredient, the amount provided per serving and any additional ingredients in the formulation.

Different brands may use different sources and combinations of ingredients, so always refer to the individual product information.

Astaxanthin Capsules & Softgels

Astaxanthin supplements are available in a variety of formats.

Astaxanthin capsules provide a convenient measured serving, while softgels may contain astaxanthin combined with an oil-based carrier.
