Krill oil contains vitamin E, vitamin A, vitamin D and canthaxanthin, which is, like astaxanthin, a potent anti-oxidant. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Another substance in reishi, called canthaxanthin, slows down the growth of tumors. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Because farmed salmon and trout don’t have access to the wild crus194 fish and shellfish taceans, they have paler flesh unless their feed is supplemented usually with crustacean shell by-products or an industrially produced carotenoid called canthaxanthin. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)
Well how about this: Almost 100 percent of all farmed salmon is artificially colored with either canthaxanthin or astaxanthin, a process sometimes euphemistically called ‘color finishing.’ ❋ Unknown (2009)
Responding to an ever-increasing demand for salmon–which must, however, be pink — several major chemical companies produce canthaxanthin and astaxanthin for color finishing. ❋ Unknown (2009)
An EC draft directive from Brussels may outlaw the use of the dye canthaxanthin in flamingo food -- and thereby turn the birds gray. ❋ Unknown (2008)
Krill oil also naturally contains high concentrations of a number of healthy antioxidant compounds that not only protect the krill oil but also protect your brain… These include vitamin A, vitamin E, astaxanthin, and canthaxanthin. ❋ Unknown (2007)
Duck yolks owe their deeper orange color both to beta-carotene and to the reddish pigment canthaxanthin, which wild ducks obtain from small water insects and crustaceans, egg-laying ducks from feed supplements. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)
The animals create their protective coloration by attaching bright carotenoid pigments derived from their planktonic diet astaxanthin, canthaxanthin, beta-carotene and others to protein molecules, thus muting and altering their color. ❋ Harold McGee (2004)
Hahn once turned up at a Boy Scouts meeting in Golf Manor, Michigan, with a bright orange face due to an accidental overdose of canthaxanthin . ❋ Jon Ronson (2012)
Its desire to expand further into life sciences was illustrated by the announcement yesterday that DSM had purchased Massachusetts-based Microbia, a start-up in possession of a proprietary platform to produce natural carotenoids like beta-carotene and canthaxanthin. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Although the amounts used are very small, tests have shown greater quantities of canthaxanthin can cause retinal damage. ❋ Unknown (2010)
Fish feed contains two beta-carotenes, astaxanthin and canthaxanthin, which are found in nature as well. ❋ Unknown (2009)
And because the farmed fish are fattier, you'll get less protein per serving as well. added ingredients you'll get with a farmed fillet: dioxins, PCBs, fire retardants (those da-n things are everywhere, aren't they???), pesticides (especially for sea lice), antibiotics, copper sulfate (to take care of algae on the nets), and - oh yeah - canthaxanthin (a dye associated with retinal damage used to make gray farmed fish various shades of "wild" pink). ❋ Unknown (2008)
