Product Details
Several novel antioxidants come from the sea. Astaxanthin is derived from micro algae and has unique properties which help reduce inflammation, among other health benefits. With our aging demographics, astaxanthin helps to deal with many health conditions that relate to inflammation from joint health to cardiovascular disease. This entry level potency 4 mg softgel is our most popular dosage.
Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid found in nature primarily in marine organisms such as microalgae, salmon, trout, krill, shrimp, crayfish, and crustaceans. It is the pigment that provides salmon and crustaceans with their pink-red color. The green microalga Haematococcus pluvialis is considered the richest source of astaxanthin. This is the source used for our NOW® products to help support sustainability. Astaxanthin has been found to be beneficial for asthma sufferers, aiding joint health, and reducing general inflammatory conditions associated with fibromyalgia, cardiovascular health, eye health, and brain health. The unique use of veg softgels makes this product suitable for vegans and vegetarians.
