Astaxanthin is a carotenoid, which is widely found in the biological world, especially in shrimp, crab, fish, algae, yeast and bird feathers. It has strong antioxidant properties and is 6000 times more effective than vitamin C, 1,000 times of vitamin E, 700 times of anthocyanins, and 320 times of tea polyphenols. It can effectively remove oxygen free radicals in cells, enhance cell regeneration, maintain body balance, and reduce the accumulation of senescent cells.
Hematococcus Pluvialis is a microalga cultivated for natural astaxanthin production via stress-induced cyst formation. The core process involves two-stage fermentation: vegetative growth followed by nitrogen starvation to trigger red pigment accumulation.
