  【Description】Astaxanthin, recognised as a dark-red pigment and found in seafoods (such as salmon, trout, krill, shrimp, crayfish, crustaceans), is a keto-carotenoid. It belongs to a larger class of chemical compounds known as terpenes. Like many carotenoids, astaxanthin is a colorful, lipid-soluble pigment. And, it is naturally produced as part of the life cycle of Haematococcus Pluvialis.
  
  In recent years, in vitro studies under specific laboratory conditions in seveal different and independent research groups have clearly and unequivocally indicated that Astaxanthin’s antioxidant properties are superior by 100-1000 times than that of other commercial carotenoids, as well as Vitamin E. Its antioxiidant properties, both as a quencher of singlet oxygen and a scavenger of free radicials, iss ability to protect lipids from peroxidation, and its dramatic effect on preventing DNA damage have been clearly demonstrated. The market for Astaxanthin focused on multiple products for the food, food-coloring, drinks, antiaging cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries.
  
  The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved astaxanthin as a food coloring (or color additive) for specific uses in animal and fish foods. The European Commission considers it food dye and it is given the E number E161j.Natural astaxanthin is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA.
  
  【Main function】1.Antioxidant property. Astaxanthin has a much stronger LDL(low-density lipoprotein cholesterol) antioxidant effect than polyphenol, and has potential for life-style-related disease prevention.
  
  2.Anti-Cancinogenesis.Astaxanthin iinhibits γ-interferon production and promotes formation of antibodies. It also has potential for anti-tumor activities.
  
  3.Anti-skin Aging. Astaxanthin is expected to prevent skin irritations,flecks,wrinkles, and sagging by removing free radicals generated by ultraviolet rays maintaining skin fitness, complexion and whiteness.
  
  4.Eye and central nerve cell health. By combining with lipoprotein, Astaxanthin can easily pass through blood-brain barriers, unlike most antioxidants, and acts directly on the brain ang eyes.
  
  5.As a feedstaff additive, Astaxanthin can be absorbed efficiently by animals, and enhance immune fuction.
  
  6.Also, Astaxanthin can prevents arteriosclerosis and diabrtes.
  
  【Application】
