Astaxanthin is a carotenoid that gives color to salmon, krill, and some algae, and is known for potential benefits related to oxidative stress and various health conditions including immunity, metabolic health, and cardiovascular health. Its effects may support age-related, reproductive, cardiometabolic, and immune health.
