Frequently Asked Questions

Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment found in microalgae, salmon, krill, and other marine organisms. It's one of nature's most powerful antioxidants, known for its vibrant red-pink color and potent health benefits. ASTA Astaxanthin delivers this powerful nutrient in its purest form.

Astaxanthin is significantly more powerful than many common antioxidants. Studies show it can be up to 6,000 times stronger than vitamin C, 800 times stronger than CoQ10, and 550 times stronger than vitamin E in neutralizing singlet oxygen - a particularly harmful type of free radical. ASTA Astaxanthin harnesses this exceptional antioxidant power.

ASTA Astaxanthin supports:

• Skin health: Protection against UV damage, improved skin elasticity and hydration
• Eye health: Reduced eye strain and fatigue, especially from screen time
• Exercise recovery: Reduced muscle soreness and improved endurance
• Cellular protection: Powerful antioxidant activity throughout the body
• Cardiovascular health: Support for heart and circulation
• Joint comfort: Reduced inflammation and improved mobility

ASTA Astaxanthin is derived from Haematococcus pluvialis, a freshwater microalgae that naturally produces the highest concentration of astaxanthin. We use a sustainable, controlled cultivation process to ensure purity and potency.

ASTA Astaxanthin is 100% natural, derived from microalgae. We never use synthetic astaxanthin, which is chemically produced and has a different molecular structure with potentially lower bioavailability.

The recommended dosage for ASTA Astaxanthin is one capsule daily with a meal containing healthy fats for optimal absorption. Each capsule contains 12mg of natural astaxanthin.

Take ASTA Astaxanthin with a meal that contains some fat or oil, as it's a fat-soluble nutrient. Morning or lunchtime with breakfast or lunch works well for most people.
