This is an overview of the potential of Haematococcus pluvialis for use in the commercial production of natural astaxanthin, along with a survey of mass culture methods that utilize the characteristics of H. pluvialis. The latest advancements in cultivation methods that incorporate new technologies, such as light-emitting diodes (LEDs), are outlined. Furthermore, the differences in culture conditions that may affect the product quality required to meet the standards for its use as a health supplement ingredient are discussed. Additionally, insights are provided on some of the current avenues of research and the future of astaxanthin cultivation.
