Product

This product is a fat-soluble, xanthophyll carotenoid, a secondary metabolite naturally synthesized by a number of bacteria, microalgae, and yeasts. Astaxanthin is an organic red-colored carotenoid pigment with the molecular formula C40H52O4. This natural nutritional component can be found in aquatic plants, microalgae, red yeast, and even in the feathers of some birds. The structure of astaxanthin was proved by a group led by Professor Basil Weedon in 1975. Numerous studies have shown astaxanthin may be beneficial for improving Crow's feet wrinkles and elasticity, as well as reducing transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
