Abstract in brief

  • Astaxanthin is primarily used in aquaculture to give salmon and crustaceans their characteristic pink color, which has been a major market driver for over 20 years, and it also plays a role in reproductive processes.
  • While synthetic astaxanthin currently dominates global markets, there is growing interest in natural sources like green algae, red yeast, and crustacean byproducts due to their potential health benefits.
  • Recent research suggests astaxanthin has strong antioxidant properties and potential health benefits, including cardiovascular protection and immune boosting, but most studies are still in early, preclinical stages.]
