Product Information

A naturally occurring carotenoid, astaxanthin is closely related to zeaxanthin and lutein, nutrients widely known for supporting eye health. It’s also unparalleled in its antioxidant activity, helping to protect free radical damage and oxidative stress in the body – helpful in supporting heart and brain health.

Our high-performance formula provides 4mg of natural astaxanthin in each easy-to-swallow, taste-free capsule, similar to the levels used in published studies.

We’ve chosen to suspend our formula in sunflower seed oil to aid absorption. Capsules are better suited to oil-based materials, which is why we’ve decided to use them over tablets.

We source our raw material from the freshwater green microalgae, Haematococcus Pluvialis, making it a natural – not synthetic – source. Our formula benefits from a 3-month cultivation process, which mimics astaxanthin accumulation in nature. This technique also produces exceptionally pure and high-quality microalgae compared to that grown in outdoor ponds.

Our extraction process uses supercritical CO2 extraction technology which avoids excess heat and is more environmentally friendly; it also ensures a solvent-free product.

You may discover brands of astaxanthin that appear to be at a higher level, however this is often per serving, not per capsule. Or the active astaxanthin level is only 5%, which equates to just 0.6mg astaxanthin per capsule, whereas we guarantee 4mg per capsule.

Unlike many other companies, we manufacture and package our high-strength formula in UK factories working to strict Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) to ensure our quality standards are met.

This product is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review.

As with the majority of our products, this should be used daily for at least three months before the effects are assessed. It would be great if you could leave a review after this time.

I have the beginnings of macular degeneration and believe this will delay its advance. It is way too early to know if it is really beneficial, but one has to hope for the best.

I have read that astaxanthin is good for overall health and the immune system as well as more specifically aiding eye, hair and skin health.
I had been feeling run down and decided to give this a try along with viamins C
& D.
I have actually been feeling and looking better, but as I have been taking the supplement for less than a month, it is probably a little too soon to say that it is a result of taking astaxanthin. I understand that it can be a few months before feeling the full benefit and shall therefore continue taking for several more months

"Wouldn’t do without it."

I found out about this by accident as it was an ingredient in a collagen skin supplement I was taking. After a while I noticed my mind was clearer, suffering less from brain fog, generally feeling better. Then I also found in the summer it was acting as a natural sunscreen and whereas in the past when I turned brown it was patchy, this no longer happened. I now have a smooth brown tan. have found out it has lots of benefits for the brain an eyes too. Therefore, I bought this in addition to my collagen supplement to reap more benefits.
