Astaxanthin

🌿 Astaxanthin – Nature’s Most Powerful Antioxidant

Description:
Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid sourced from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, renowned for its extraordinary antioxidant power. Often called the “king of carotenoids,” Astaxanthin is 6,000 times stronger than Vitamin C and 550 times more potent than Vitamin E in neutralizing harmful free radicals.

This fat-soluble antioxidant penetrates deep into cells, including the brain, eyes, skin, and muscles, offering broad-spectrum protection against oxidative stress, inflammation, and age-related damage. It supports cardiovascular health, boosts skin elasticity, enhances eye function, and improves endurance and recovery in active individuals.

Our Astaxanthin supplement is formulated using natural, non-GMO sources and is free from artificial additives, making it a clean and effective choice for daily cellular protection and performance optimization.
