Biochemical function:

The fat soluble astaxanthin is one of the most potent antioxidants found in nature. It protects the inner as well as the outer face of the cell and mitochondria membrane. Astaxanthin is active in the entire body and delays ageing of cells and tissue. It is able to neutralise the free radicals produced by UV radiation. Carotenoids like astaxanthin can thus be found in tissues like eyes and skin that are exposed directly to the sun.

Natural sources:

Astaxanthin is found in wild salmon, lobster and prawns; its highest concentrations, however, are found in the green fresh water microalga haematococcus pluvialis. Algae are the beginning of the entire food chain - because of their high content of minerals, trace elements, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins and other valuable nutrients, they have always been valued as food by coast dwellers. Algae provide us with these nutrients in a natural, easily absorbable form. The AFA-Algae (Aphanizomenon Flos Aquae, also called Klamath algae or blue green algae) contain 20 amino acids, enzymes, vitamins, minerals, trace elements and essential fatty acids. Chlorella contains high concentrations of chlorophyll (green plant pigment) which can bind toxins and neutralise body odour. Fucus(Fucus vesiculosus), found in the oceans of the northern hemisphere and also an algae, contains, among other things, beta carotene and zeaxanthin.
