Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants yet discovered. Astaxanthin is a member of the carotenoid family of compounds. Animals cannot synthesize carotenoids and therefore all natural carotenoids are first made in plants.
As an antioxidant, astaxanthin has been shown to be up to 500 times more powerful than vitamin E and more than 10 times as potent as beta-carotene.
