AH Astaxanthin is a dietary supplement containing natural astaxanthin obtained from algae.
Natural astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is a compound from the carotenoid group and, at the same time, a natural pink pigment that gives color to many organisms: fish, crustaceans and some microorganisms. In this product, astaxanthin comes from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, which is the richest source found in nature. This carotenoid is sometimes called one of the most powerful antioxidants found in nature.
In one of the scientific publications* on the properties of astaxanthin, its antioxidant activity was defined as "distinguished from other antioxidants by the highest oxygen radical absorption capacity (ORAC), 100-500 times higher than α-tocopherol and 10 times higher free radical inhibition activity than related antioxidants (α-tocopherol, α-carotene, β-carotene, lutein and lycopene).”

Astaxanthin is structurally similar to beta-carotene, but has minor differences that make it considered safer.
Maximum quantity allowed
In clinical trials, doses of astaxanthin commonly used are in the range of 4-8 mg. The AH Astaxanthin supplement contains 8 mg of astaxanthin in each capsule, which is the maximum allowable value in the European Union.
Astaxanthin owes many of its properties to its ability to penetrate the cell membrane. Scientific research on astaxanthin most often analyzes its impact on the health of the skin, eyes, circulatory system and nervous system.
To sum up, AH Astaxanthin provides natural astaxanthin, which is considered a strong antioxidant. The supplement is intended for adults and contains the maximum allowable dose of astaxanthin.
