Astaxanthin is a member of the carotenoid family of natural pigments closely related to beta carotene, lycopene, and lutein. It is a powerful natural biological antioxidant found most abundantly in seafood. It is what gives the pink and red color to salmon, shrimp, and lobster. However, animals, as well as humans, depend on their diet to obtain Astaxanthin and other carotenoids since neither can produce it themselves.
