<h2>Astaxanthin, the Super Antioxidant</h2>
<p>Carotenoids, of which astaxanthin is a family member are a group of over 700 natural lipid-soluble pigments that are only produced by phytoplankton, algae, plants, and a limited number of fungi and bacteria. Carotenoids, and especially astaxanthin (asta-ZAN-thin), are distinguished by their capacity to interact with chemically reactive species of oxygen known as singlet oxygen and free radicals. A growing body of scientific literature reveals significant evidence that astaxanthin surpasses the antioxidant benefits of beta-carotene, zeaxanthin, canthaxanthin, vitamin C and vitamin E. </p>
<p>How is it possible that salmon can make the heroic swim upstream for which they are famed and which certainly
is the greatest athletic feat in nature? <strong>Natural Astaxanthin.</strong>Natural Astaxanthin is found in the highest concentration in the animal kingdom in the muscles of salmon, and scientists theorize that natural astaxanthin is what allows
them to complete this epic swim.</p>
