What is astaxanthin?
Astaxanthin is a natural colorant from the xantophyll group of carotenoids. The carotenoids give fruit and vegetables their red, yellow and orange color. [ 1 ] Like all carotenoids, astaxanthin is fat-soluble.
The antioxidant carotenoid comes from Haematococcus pluvialis,[2] also known as blood rain algae. Botanically speaking, the algae belongs to the green algae family and lives in fresh water, e.g. in lakes and ponds, but it can also be found in pools of holy water. In mountains it is responsible for red snow.
What is vitamin A and what effect does it have?
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. In animal foods it is found as retinyl palmitate or retinyl acetate , while in plant foods it is present in the form of the precursor beta-carotene (provitamin A).[3] The following functions of vitamin A have been scientifically established:
- Vitamin A contributes to normal iron metabolism
- Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes
- Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal skin
- Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision
- Vitamin A contributes to the normal function of the immune system
- Vitamin A has a role in the process of cell specialization
Foods rich in vitamin A include liver, kale and carrots[3].
What is vitamin E and what effect does it have?
Vitamin E is also a fat-soluble vitamin. Vitamin E occurs naturally in eight different tocopherol and tocotrienol compounds , with alpha-tocopherol being the main form of vitamin E, which is also the best researched form of vitamin E.[5]
What is lutein?
Like astaxanthin ,lutein is a carotenoid and, like astaxanthin , is a natural pigment[6] that is responsible for the yellow coloration of many different types of fruit and vegetables. The main sources of lutein are dark leafy vegetables and marigold flowers [6 ].
