Astaxanthin CAS 472-61-7

Astaxanthin is a ketone or carotenoid with a pink color, fat soluble, insoluble in water, and soluble in organic solvents. It is widely present in the biological world, especially in the feathers of aquatic animals such as shrimp, crabs, fish, and birds, playing a role in coloration. Astaxanthin is a non vitamin A derived carotenoid that cannot be converted into Chemicalbook vitamin A in animal bodies. Astaxanthin is a fat soluble and water-soluble pigment found in marine organisms such as shrimp, crabs, salmon, and algae, and cannot be synthesized by the human body itself. It is the strongest antioxidant in nature. Its antioxidant activity is 550 times that of vitamin E and 10 times that of beta carotene, hence it is known as the "king of antioxidants"!
