Astaxanthin is a carotenoid with particularly great antioxidant properties. Carotenoids are natural plant pigments that are responsible for the vibrant colours of many fruits and vegetables. They colour tomatoes red, corn kernels yellow and carrots orange. There are over 700 different carotenoids, only a few of which are known to humans. Carotenoids are divided into two groups: Into the carotenes and the xanthophylls. Carotenes include, for example, beta-carotene from carrots and lycopene from tomatoes. The xanthophylls include lutein and zeaxanthin (e.g. in spinach) - but also astaxanthin. Astaxanthin occurs naturally particularly frequently in algae, but also in a limited number of fungi and bacteria. Now, when other animals eat these algae in large quantities and accumulate the astaxanthin in them, they turn pink, such as salmon and crabs.
