Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid derived from marine fish and algae. Astaxanthin is found in the micro-algae, Haematococcus pluvialis. It is a type of carotenoid but does not get converted into Vitamin A. Astaxanthin promotes antioxidant health, protecting the body's cells and strengthening the body's defences.
Carotenes are specifically found in vegetables and fruits, with beta-carotene found in those which are dark orange or green. Astaxanthin gives a vibrant red-orange colour to lobster, salmon and some algae.
As some diets often do not contain a range of fruits and vegetables, taking a supplement to reach adequate levels of carotenoids could be useful.
Solgar Astaxanthin 5 mg provides Astaxanthin derived from Haematococcus Pluvialis, a fresh water algae.
