Astaxanthin CAS 472-61-7
Natural astaxanthin, also known as astaxanthin, is an extremely valuable health raw material.Astaxanthin is a ketone or carotenoid with a pink color, fat soluble, insoluble in water, and soluble in organic solvents. It is widely present in the biological world, especially in the feathers of aquatic animals such as shrimp, crabs, fish, and birds, playing a role in coloration. Astaxanthin is a non vitamin A derived carotenoid that cannot be converted into vitamin A in animal bodies. Astaxanthin is a lipid soluble and water-soluble pigment found in marine organisms such as shrimp, crabs, salmon, and algae. The human body is unable to synthesize astaxanthin on its own. It is the strongest antioxidant in nature.

Astaxanthin with CAS 472-61-7 can be used to develop natural and healthy products for enhancing immunity, anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory, eye and brain health, regulating blood lipids and other aspects. At present, it is mainly used as the raw material of advanced health food and medicine for human beings; feed additives for aquaculture (mainly salmon, trout and salmon), poultry breeding; cosmetic additives. It can significantly improve the immunity of the human body, because it can not specifically bind to skeletal muscle, can effectively remove free radicals generated by exercise in muscle cells, strengthen aerobic metabolism, so it has a significant anti-fatigue effect. It is the only carotenoid that can pass through the blood-brain barrier. It has a real anti-aging effect. Effective antioxidant is the basis of all cosmetic activities. Because of its super antioxidant effect, it can be used.
