Astaxanthin is a polyunsaturated free radical quencher and part of a series of compounds including beta-carotene included in the family of carotenoid antioxidants. These compounds add color to vegetables (red, orange, yellow) in which they occur naturally. This specific carotenoid also gives sea foods like salmon and shrimp their red coloration.

Astaxanthin nutrients are the most potent antioxidants in all of nature, and have been proven to work longer than other antioxidants in protecting against photosensitized oxidation. It has been shown that dietary astaxanthin exerts antitumor activity through the enhancement of immune response.
