Pure Encapsulations Astaxanthin 60 Softgels Capsules
Derived from Hawaiian Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae cultivated under pristine conditions, esterfied astaxanthin is a stable, powerful, fat-soluble antioxidant from the carotenoid family. Haematococcus algae produces astaxanthin that may protect itself against ultraviolet induced free radical damage.*
Features

Bioavailability and Stability: Astaxanthin is formulated in a base of safflower oil to potentially enhance bioavailability. Vitamin E and rosemary are added to increase stability.*
Uses
Antioxidant Support: Astaxanthin attempts to protect the phospholipid membranes of cells from oxidative damage.*
Immune Support: Dietary concentrations of astaxanthin have demonstrated the ability to potentially support healthy immunoglobulin activity and immune function.*
