The followings is detailed information regarding astaxanthin.
Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants yet discovered. Astaxanthin is a member of the carotenoid family of compounds. Animals cannot synthesize carotenoids and thus all natural carotenoids are first made in plants. Astaxanthin is the most commonly found carotenoid in the marine biosystem. Accordingly, it is recognizable as the pigment found in the flesh of salmon. As an antioxidant, astaxanthin has been shown to be up to 500 times more powerful than Vitamin E and more than 10 times as potent as beta-carotene. Lutein, a carotenoid similar to astaxanthin is also much less potent. As an antioxidant, astaxanthin was shows in ORAC testing to be 5 times more potent.

A variety of human and animal clinical studies have shown significant health benefits from astaxanthin. Because astaxanthin freely crosses the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers, astaxanthin can readily neutralize free-radicals and other reactive species in the eye and nervous system. Protection of the eye and brain tissue from oxidative stress could potentially provide valuable support for both eye and brain health. Astaxanthin was also found to be a powerful modulator on the immune function in a randomized, placebo controlled, double-blind human study. Similar animal studies also showed that astaxanthin stimulates the immune system in animals. Likewise, when looking at the protective effects of UV light on cells, astaxanthin was found to be 1000 times more effective than both beta-carotene and lutein. Astaxanthin was also found to have excellent benefits for the cardiovascular system. By inducing enzymes that metabolize foreign compounds, astaxanthin helps the body to  "detoxify. " One of the most remarkable recent discoveries found that astaxanthin significantly reduced the amount of DNA damage.
