Abstract: Astaxanthin is a type of carotenoid, which is a natural pigment found in a variety of foods. In particular, this beneficial pigment lends its vibrant red-orange colour to foods like krill, algae, salmon and lobster. Astaxanthin is an antioxidant. This effect might protect cells from damage. Astaxanthin also improves the way the immune system functions. In vitro and in vivo studies have associated astaxanthin's unique molecular features with several health benefits, including neuroprotective, cardioprotective and antitumoral properties, suggesting its therapeutic potential for the prevention or co-treatment of dementia, Alzheimer, Parkinson, and cardiovascular diseases. Focusing on human clinical trials, including a brief description of the potential mechanisms of action responsible for its biological activities. It is potentially used for the prevention of skin anti-ageing and the treatment of eye diseases like glaucoma. In this review, we summarise and discuss the currently available evidence on astaxanthin benefits,
Keywords: Astaxanthin, immune system functions, cardiovascular diseases, eye diseases like glaucoma.
