RED POWER
Astaxanthin is a compound naturally found in the freshwater microalga Haematococcus pluvialis.
It’s produced when the algae are exposed to environmental stress, like high salinity or intense light.
Astaxanthin is what gives certain animals—like salmon, trout, shrimp, and even flamingos—their reddish-pink color after consuming the algae.
Haematococcus pluvialis, and therefore astaxanthin, typically grow in temperate climates, with availability depending on rainfall and humidity.
