Astaxanthin 10mg Softgels
What Is Astaxanthin?
Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid found in certain microalgae and the marine animals that consume them, including salmon, shrimp, and lobster. It is responsible for the distinctive pink-red coloration seen in many aquatic species. Commercial astaxanthin supplements are typically derived from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae, one of nature's richest sources of this unique carotenoid.*
Unlike some other carotenoids, astaxanthin has a unique molecular structure that allows it to function throughout cell membranes, helping support the body's natural defenses against oxidative stress.*
