What is Natural Astaxanthin?
Natural Astaxanthin belongs to a group of carotenoids that gives beautiful vibrant colors to many of the food that we consume; the bright orange, red and yellow color plants, vegetables and fruits. Carotenoids are pigmented phytochemicals; typically synonymous with Vitamin A. Astaxanthin can be found naturally in certain sea animals (e.g. lobster, crab, salmon, krill, shrimps) and microalgae.
Driven by consumers’ demand for natural, plant-based health products, Optixanthin astaxanthin is produced from the cultivation and harvest of microalge H. pluvialis. Almost at the bottom of the marine food chain, H. Pluvialis supply astaxanthin and omega-3 fatty acid to sea animals and represents a sustainable and vegetarian alternative to both. Besides, it is known to have the highest bioavailable quantities of astaxanthin, and is approved by US FDA as safe to take (GRAS) and Japan as Medical-Functional Food.

Best natural anti-inflammatory:
Can astaxanthin be taken together with medicine?
Inflammation is a defence and healing process, it helps the body to get rid of damage source then repair the injured tissue. In general, inflammation causes redness, swelling, heat, and pain. These effects occur due to range of inflammation mediators that are released after a detected injury or attack. Some of the mediators are known as prostaglandins, tumor necrosis factors, interleukins, and nitric oxide.
Even though astaxanthin is not as powerful as pharmaceutical anti-inflammatories, it is found to be one of the strongest ones in nature, eases inflammation and pain without the side effects.
The best part of astaxanthin is that the healing benefits don’t stop at pain management. Such a strong anti-inflammatory also deals effectively with a number of other health issues e.g early ageing, chronic diseases, and brain related conditions which inflammation and oxidative stress are the root cause.
