Astaxanthin is a carotenoid, an organic pigment that occurs naturally in plants, algae, some types of fungus and some bacteria. People consuming diets rich in carotenoids from natural foods such as fruits and vegetables are healthier and have lower mortality from a number of chronic illnesses. Astaxanthin can be found in microalgae, yeast, salmon, trout, krill, shrimp, crayfish, crustaceans, and the feathers of some birds. Astaxanthin, unlike some carotenoids, does not convert to Vitamin A (retinol) in the human body. Too much Vitamin A is toxic for a human, but astaxanthin is not. Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant; it is 10 times more capable than other carotenoids. While astaxanthin is a natural nutritional component, it is also available as a food supplement in concentrated form. Cardiosteroil Krill contains concentrates of astaxanthin in red soft gels.

The algae that krill eats produces the bright red pigment astaxanthin that gives krill and other crustaceans, such as lobster and shrimps, their redish-pink colour. Cardiosteroil KRILL will protect the body at cellular level from damage caused by free radicals, unstable substances that contribute to the chronic diseases mentioned above.
