meso-Astaxanthin

Description:
Meso-Astaxanthin is a carotenoid, specifically a xanthophyll, known for its vibrant red-orange color, which is primarily found in various algae, yeast, and seafood, such as shrimp and salmon. It is a stereoisomer of astaxanthin, distinguished by its unique molecular structure that includes a series of conjugated double bonds, contributing to its strong antioxidant properties. Meso-Astaxanthin is recognized for its potential health benefits, including anti-inflammatory effects and support for eye health, skin protection, and immune function. Its chemical formula reflects a complex arrangement of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen atoms, which allows it to interact with light and biological systems effectively. The substance is often studied for its applications in dietary supplements and functional foods, as well as in cosmetics due to its photoprotective qualities. Additionally, meso-Astaxanthin is of interest in research related to its potential therapeutic effects in various health conditions, making it a significant compound in both nutritional and pharmaceutical contexts.
