The Science

Astaxanthin is a member of the carotenoid family, compounds celebrated for their potent antioxidant behaviour. Antioxidants like astaxanthin neutralise harmful free radicals in the body, reducing oxidative stress, which is linked to ageing, inflammation, and various chronic diseases. Astaxanthin's role in skin health is dual: it augments other antioxidants, amplifies their effects, and directly benefits the skin by boosting elasticity and minimizing moisture loss. Its natural occurrence in marine life, like salmon and krill, is a testament to its health-giving properties. Clinically, it's been demonstrated to enhance the immune response, curb inflammation, and even decrease levels of LDL cholesterol.
Its bright pigment, responsible for the reddish tint in various foods, is also an indicator of its potency.

How will I know its working?

Users may notice improved skin texture, reduced signs of ageing, and possibly increased overall well-being. Some might even observe a reddish hue in their stools due to the pigment at very high doses.

When to take it?

Take 1 tablet daily with food and water, unless specified otherwise on the sachet.
