Astaxanthin 12 mg

Astaxanthin is one of the natural and most powerful carotenoid antioxidants, more commonly known as the king of the carotenoids. Its unique molecular structure makes it highly potent compared to other carotenoid antioxidants. It offers protective action for at least five biochemical inflammatory pathways. It offers protection for mitochondria and cellular DNA from free radical damage due to excessive oxidative stress. 

More importantly, astaxanthin has the ability to cross the blood-brain barrier and blood-retinal barrier to support cognitive health and vision health. In addition, it supports normal and optimized immune and inflammatory responses. It supports cellular energy production and also aids cardiovascular health. It may also support muscle endurance and exercise performance. Studies support that astaxanthin is beneficial for skin health.

Many astaxanthin supplements in the market contain a synthetic version of this carotenoid. However, they are not equivalent to the natural extract. Research supports that astaxanthin extracted from natural sources like green microalgae shows enhanced antioxidant activity, but large-scale cultivation can be expensive.

So, while choosing astaxanthin supplements, ensuring that they are extracted from natural microalgae is crucial to get the health benefits. 

Dr Mercola Astaxanthin supplement is made from organic Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae, which is the natural and richest preferred source of astaxanthin. It's grown in pure and controlled conditions without plasticizers and glass tubes.

The purity is maintained right from growing microalgae, which remains untouched by chemical solvents, preservatives, or residues of any kind.
