- Eye Health: Astaxanthin may help protect the eyes, reduce eye fatigue and vision loss, and may have a preventive effect on eye diseases such as macular degeneration.
- Exercise Performance: Some research suggests that astaxanthin may help improve exercise endurance and reduce muscle fatigue and damage after exercise.
- Cardiovascular Health: Astaxanthin may help lower cholesterol levels, improve circulation, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease.
- Immune System Support: Astaxanthin may enhance immune system function and help the body fight off infection and disease.
- Anti-Inflammatory Effects: Astaxanthin has anti-inflammatory properties that may help reduce chronic inflammation-related diseases, such as arthritis.

Recommended Usage
We recommend just taking one Astaxanthin softgel per day for a total dosage of 12 mg. Due to the olive oil base in the softgels it is not necessary to take this product with a meal, but doing so will ensure optimal absorption. While higher doses can be taken safely we don’t recommend exceeding 2 softgels (24 mg) per day.
