It is a keto carotenoid, fully known as 3,3 '- dihydroxy- β,β- Carotene-4,4 '- Dione.
*The end of the conjugated double bond chain has unsaturated ketone and hydroxyl structures, which is easy to react with and scavenge free radicals.
*Three optical isomers can be formed: left-handed (3S, 3 ´ s), racemic (3R, 3 ´ s) and right-handed (3R, 3 ´ R) structures. Only l-astaxanthin has strong antioxidant and other biological activities, and the biological activity of right-handed astaxanthin is low.

Antioxidant effect of Astaxanthin
Unique antioxidant characteristics of Astaxanthin:
Special location in the cell membrane: Astaxanthin has a hydroprosphere, hydrophilic, across the cell membrane, can simultaneously remove the free radicals of the cell membrane and the cell fluid.
* Abstract fast:
The molecular weight is only 596.8, even if the ester group with both ends is not 1000 Dalton, it is easy to absorb by the human body, and can quickly reach the organs of the human body.
Fish and poultry absorption and accumulation of Astaxanthin are much effective than other carrots such as lutein and Zeaxanthin.
