Astaxanthin (CAS 472-61-7) is a naturally occurring dark red carotenoid found in nature primarily in aquatic animals such as salmon, trout, krill, shrimp, crayfish, and crustaceans. Astaxanthin is more than just a red pigment, it is one of the most powerful lipophilic antioxidants yet discovered. It has the unique capacity to quench free radicals and reactive species of oxygen and to inhibit lipid peroxidation. Studies have shown Natural Astaxanthin to be over 500 times stronger than vitamin E and much more potent than other carotenoids such as lutein, lycopene and β-carotene. Moreover, Astaxanthin a xanthophyll carotenoid, is a nutrient with a unique molecule structure, it does not convert to vitamin a (retinol) and has no “pro-oxidant” activity.
Natural astaxanthin is mainly biosynthesized by living microalgae (H. Pluvialis). Natural astaxanthin in supplements is typically produced by a specific type of microalgae (Haematococcus pluvialis), and also occurs in fish and crustaceans that consume this algae, including shrimp, salmon and krill.Natural astaxanthin is a dietary supplement with extremely powerful antioxidant benefits for human applications. Besides haematococcus, Astaxanthin can also be produced by yeast, etc.
Natural astaxanthin is mainly derived from Haematococcus pluvialis. Haematococcus pluvialis is a freshwater green microalgae and the best source of natural astaxanthin, one of the most powerful antioxidants known to man. Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae produces astaxanthin to protect itself from stressful environmental conditions. Manufacturers should focus on the detection of heavy metals, plasticizers, microorganisms and other indicators of Haematococcus pluvialis (containing natural astaxanthin) products. Extreme climates pose great challenges to algae farming, and climate risks should be avoided in production.

Because extreme climate will bring great challenges to algae farming, at the same time, climate risks should be avoided in production.
The shift toward natural and plant-based ingredients in nutraceuticals and cosmetics has boosted demand, as consumers move away from synthetic additives. The aging population in developed markets is driving interest in astaxanthin for joint, eye, and brain health. The sports nutrition industry is adopting astaxanthin for its proven benefits in enhancing endurance and reducing muscle fatigue, making it popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts.
Geographically, North America and Europe dominate the market, supported by strong consumer health awareness and premium supplement demand. Meanwhile, the Asia-Pacific region is the fastest-growing market, with increasing disposable income and a growing middle class investing in preventive healthcare. Challenges such as high production costs (especially for natural astaxanthin from algae) and limited consumer awareness in emerging markets could restrain growth. However, innovations in fermentation-based production and expanding applications in pet nutrition and aquaculture present significant future opportunities.
