The Active Ingredient Is: Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is basically a fat-soluble carotenoid, acting as an antioxidant and helping protect cells and keep oxidative balance in check. This variant comes from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae and is supplied in a vegetarian softgel format with lipid carriers and antioxidant support as described in the ingredients profile.

This extract is sourced from respected microalgae producers and is offered with supporting components like natural oils and vitamin E to help absorption and antioxidant synergy.

What Does Astaxanthin Do?

Scientific research suggests astaxanthin provides antioxidant benefits and supports immune function, with extra evidence indicating positive effects on eye health and skin-related parameters. The nutrient is involved in protecting cells from oxidative stress and may help maintain normal immune and ocular function as recognised in EFSA-aligned guidance.

In relation to absorption and use, astaxanthin is described as a fat-soluble compound that can cross biological barriers to support the whole body cellular protection.
