Immune System Support
Astaxanthin can influence your immune system, helping to activate white blood cells (T-cells) and natural killer (NK) cells.
Reduction in Inflammation
Along with boosting your immune system, astaxanthin may also help to reduce inflammation. In particular, this pigment acts on reactive oxygen species to reduce proteins that can cause inflammatory diseases like celiac disease, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, and diabetes.
Protection from UV Skin Damage
Taking supplements or consuming foods rich in astaxanthin may also help to protect your skin from ultraviolet (UV) damage. Astaxanthin accumulates in the epidermis and dermis layers of your skin, helping to block UV penetration and reduce existing damage.
Support Cognitive Health
Carotenoids have a positive effect on the brain by reducing the risks for neurodegenerative diseases. Astaxanthin is a smaller molecule, which means it can cross the blood-brain barrier and add protection for your brain as well as your body's organs.
Healthy Heart Function
If you're trying to improve your heart health, you may have good results with astaxanthin. This carotenoid can help to reduce LDL or bad cholesterol and can raise HDL or good cholesterol, while also lowering high blood pressure.

Astaxanthin is a lipophilic compound and can be dissolved in solvents and oils. Solvents, acids, edible oils, microwave assisted and enzymatic methods are used for astaxanthin extraction. Astaxanthin is accumulated in encysted cells of Haematococcus. Astaxanthin in Haematococcus was extracted with different acid treatments, hydrochloric acid giving up to 80% recovery of the pigment . When encysted cells were treated with 40% acetone at 80 °C for 2 min followed by kitalase, cellulose, abalone and acetone powder, 70% recovery of astaxanthin was obtained.
High astaxanthin yield was observed with treatment of hydrochloric acid at various temperatures for 15 and 30 min using sonication . In another study, vegetable oils (soyabean, corn, olive and grape seed) were used to extract astaxanthin from Haematococcus. The culture was mixed with oils, and the astaxanthin inside the cell was extracted into the oils, with the highest recovery of 93% with olive oil . Astaxanthin (1.3 mg/g) was extracted from Phaffia rhodozyma under acid conditions. Microwave assisted extraction at 75 °C for 5 min resulted in 75% of astaxanthin; however, astaxanthin content was high in acetone extract.
Astaxanthin yield from Haematococcus was 80%–90% using supercritical fluid extraction with ethanol and sunflower oil as co-solvent. Astaxanthin was extracted repeatedly with solvents, pooled and evaporated by rotary evaporator, then re-dissolved in solvent and absorbance of extract was measured at 476–480 nm to estimate the astaxanthin content . Further the extract can be analyzed for quantification of astaxanthin using high pressure liquid chromatography and identified by mass spectra.
Precautions of Astaxanthin
Severe allergic reaction: Avoid astaxanthin if you have a known allergy to it or its ingredients or parts. If you need clarification on whether it's safe, ask a registered dietitian, pharmacist, or healthcare provider for more information.
Pregnancy: There is one study regarding the use of astaxanthin as a pretreatment to improve fertility treatment outcomes in people with endometriosis (a condition in which tissue similar to that lining the uterus grows outside the uterus).
Breastfeeding: There is limited information about the effects and safety of astaxanthin on breastfeeding parents and nursing babies. Moreover, most astaxanthin product labels are unlikely to target breastfeeding parents.7 Before using astaxanthin, discuss its benefits and risks with a healthcare provider.
Adults over age 65: Older adults have participated in astaxanthin-related clinical trials.2 Still, caution should be used with astaxanthin in older adults, since this population traditionally has a higher likelihood of medication side effects.
Children: There is little information about the impact and safety of astaxanthin in children. Furthermore, since astaxanthin product labels target adults and not infants or children, the supplement is likely not intended for this age group.7 Consult with a healthcare provider if you're considering astaxanthin for your child.
Animals: Too much astaxanthin may build up in the eyes and skin, causing the skin to look yellow or red.Before giving astaxanthin to animals, contact a veterinarian to discuss the benefits and risks.
