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.]
