This highly absorbable, potent astaxanthin softgel provides natural astaxanthin—a fat-soluble antioxidant carotenoid derived from Haematococcus pluvialis—which helps fight free radicals and maintain the health of skin, joints, eyes, and the immune system. Vision Protection: Astaxanthin's structure is similar to lutein, but it has stronger antioxidant capacity and UV protection. It has photoprotective effects on the skin and is beneficial for eye health. Astaxanthin also helps maintain cardiovascular health, promotes respiratory health, cellular health, and energy production; in addition, it promotes a healthy immune response and helps with cognitive and memory functions.
