The Active Ingredient Is: Astaxanthin (Natural)

Astaxanthin is basically a naturally occurring carotenoid, and it acts as an antioxidant, helping guard cells against oxidative stress. This formulation uses a high-purity natural astaxanthin, sourced from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae.

This product uses AstaReal astaxanthin, which is solvent-free, highly purified, and standardised to ensure consistent potency across batches.

What Does Astaxanthin Do?

Astaxanthin helps protect cellular membranes from oxidative damage and supports normal cellular function. It is described as a potent membrane antioxidant that can help maintain cellular integrity and may support immune function and skin and eye health, in line with EFSA guidance and general nutritional science context.

Evidence from scientific context suggests these mechanisms may contribute to overall vitality and healthy ageing, with a focus on normal physiological processes rather than disease outcomes.

This supplement is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
