What is astaxanthin?
Astaxanthin is a red to pink plant pigment in the carotenoid family and is extracted here from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. The same pigment gives color to salmon and shrimp, among others, which obtain it through their food. Astaxanthin is fat-soluble and is therefore dosed in a fat-based softgel. Swanson offers a standardized strength of 4 mg per capsule.
