Strength, Results and Safety

Astaxanthin has antioxidant properties that provide the majority of its health benefits such as improved blood flow, increased energy levels, a lower rate of oxidative (toxin) damage to cells, DNA and cell protection by neutralizing oxidants; reduced growth of cancer cells, enhanced skin health, stronger joints, muscles, and bones, improved cardiovascular health, and a stronger immune system [1-6]. Astaxanthin supplementation also appears to boost the body's absorption of fatty acids, which increases endurance, and accelerates muscle recovery after exercising [4].

What It's For

Healthy skin, stronger joints, and sharper vision;Enhanced exercise recovery Stronger immune system; Improved cardiovascular health;Heightened cell protection [1-6]

How it Works

Astaxanthin demonstrates potent antioxidant activity that supports cell membrane activity by protecting it from free radical and oxidative damage due to its ability to neutralize oxidants, this property helps enhance immune system function [1]. It also demonstrates anti-proliferative and cell-death inducing properties towards cancer cells, which is beneficial for UV radiation damaged skin [2]. Astaxanthin supplementation also reduces the appearance of wrinkles, makes age spots smaller, and helps maintain moisture in the skin [3]. In addition, it boosts the body's ability to use fatty acids, which supports joint, muscle, and skeletal health by protecting tissue at the cellular level [4]. Furthermore, it improves elastin levels as well as arterial wall thickness, thereby enhancing blood flow and cardiovascular health [5]. It has anti-inflammatory properties that support overall health [6].
