ASTAXANTHIN is a naturally accruing carotenoid known for its vibrant ed color and extraordinary antioxidant power. Sourced from microalgae, this nutrient has been praised for supporting skin health, reducing inflammation, boosting endurance, and protecting against oxidative stress.
Key health benefits supported by science
Supports Eye Health
Astaxanthin can cross the blood-retina barrier, heping to protect the eyes from UV damage, digital screen fatigue and age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
Powerful Antioxidant Protection
Protects cells from oxidative damage linked to aging, chronic disease and inflammation.
Enhances Skin Health
Clinical Studies have shown astaxanthin can improve skin elasticity, hydration, and reduce wrinkles. It helps shield the skin UV-induced damage and reduces signs of aging.

Boosts Athletic Performance & Recovery
Astaxanthin has anti-fatigue and anti-inflammatory effects that may enhance endurance, reduce muscle damage, and improve recovery after strenuous activity.
Supports Bran and Cognitive Health
Thanks to its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier, astaxanthin may protect neurons from oxidative stress and inflammation factors linked to cognitive decline.
Promotes Hearts Health
Astaxanthin may support cardiovascular health by improving blood flow, reducing oxidized LDL cholesterol, and lowering inflammation markers.
How it compares to other antioxidants like Vitamin C or CoQ10
Astaxanthin is widely regarded as one of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature, far surpassing the strength of other well-known antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and Coq10. Scientific studies have shown the astaxanthin is up to 6000 times more effective than vitamin C, 550 times more powerful than vitamin e and 800 times stronger than CoQ10 in neutralizing harmful free radicals. Unlike some antioxidants that can become unstable or act as pro-oxidants under certain conditions, astaxanthin remains stable and consistently protective.
Conclusion
A randomized double-blind study evaluated Astaxanthin’s effects on oxidative damage to fatty acid membranes, the study concluded that Astaxanthin supplementation lead to significantly reduced oxidized fatty acids. In another study conducted at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Tokushima, Japan. Astaxanthin was found to be twice as effective as Beta-Carotene at inhibiting oxidative damage to lipids (that form cell membranes). The study concluded that Astaxanthin’s unique chemical structure makes it a particularly potent tool for trapping free radicals.
