Astaxanthin (also known as astaxanthin in Japan, Hong Kong and Macau) is a super strong natural extracellular antioxidant first isolated from lobster in 1938. It is also the only antioxidant that can delay the aging of organs and tissues.

Grouper also contains astaxanthin. The fish skin gelatin of grouper enhances the complete growth of epithelial tissue and promotes the synthesis of collagen cells. An important nutrient is dimethyl sulfone (MSM). However, "collagen" is high in fat and easily oxidized, so it must be used with antioxidants to achieve the effect of beauty and skin care.

Because grouper contains both dimethyl sulfone (MSM) and astaxanthin, it is known as the "fish of beauty and skin care".
