In order to fortify health and maintain the appropriate state of the body, the influence of substances of natural origin is increasingly being utilized. One of these substances is astaxanthin, which bestows a red hue to certain plants and animals. It demonstrates a wide range of effects and is therefore considered a valuable raw material with health-promoting attributes.

What is astaxanthin?

Astaxanthin is a compound of organic substances that belong to the class of carotenoids. Compared to other components in this class, it is characterized by higher resilience and stability. It is more resistant to high temperatures and light due to its unique chemical and physical structure. Astaxanthin has a brown-red color and is classified as one of the natural pigments used in the food industry. It is designated as a food additive with the E161j label.
