Immune Health and Antioxidant Support Dietary Supplement When it comes to antioxidant protection, each of us has to have enough to meet the challenges of our free-radical workload, which can depend on variables like mental and physical stress, air and water pollution, physical activity levels, concentrations of chemicals in our foods and other factors. In addition, the dietary antioxidants we depend on to defend us against free radicals tend to concentrate in certain organs or tissues, adding another consideration to the equation. This is why we've developed higher-strength Swanson Astaxanthin with 8 mg per softgel to help you tailor your antioxidant intake to meet your specific needs. As a fat-soluble antioxidant, astaxanthin is particularly beneficial for the brain, skin and other organs with high concentrations of fatty acids. In the skin, astaxanthin is especially valuable for protecting against free radicals generated by the activity of the sun's ultraviolet radiation. The antioxidant properties of astaxanthin also offer support for connective tissues throughout the body including joints and tendons as well as healthy skin. It may also protect the heart and blood vessels against oxidative stress and promote healthy eye function. Emerging research indicates that astaxanthin may also offer benefits for exercise performance and recovery. It occurs in many foods, including salmon, crab and lobster (to which it provides their rich red color), but the best source by far is the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, which can yield 8,000 times the astaxanthin concentration found in salmon. Swanson Astaxanthin is harvested from this unique microalgae through an advanced supercritical CO2 extraction process without the use of any chemical solvents. For optimal effectiveness, our softgels are fortified with medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) to enhance bioavailability.

This supplement helped me tremendously with rising my energy levels. Plus it helped with digestion (regular daily stool). Also my mom took them and it helped with dry eyes symptoms. Although, as any supplement, the results will be not immediate, give it at least one week to see improvements in your health.
I purchased this astaxanthin supplement because it is a highly beneficial antioxidant for skin quality. I live in Italy, and it is a luxury product in this country. I am not rich at all, but I want to look polished and stay within my budget. Thanks to iherb, I have access to it at a reasonable price. I am satisfied with the quality; my skin glows.
I started to take 8 mg but I upgraded myself to 12 mg after a month as I started to see results. My skin has become radiant and is glowing and I am in my 50s. Others noticed it too which is an honest feedback. Very pleased with the results.
I began taking Astaxanthin primarily for its potential skin benefits, and I must say, my skin does seem a bit more resilient and glowing. While it's not a drastic transformation, there's a certain smoothness that I didn't notice before. Also, I haven't experienced any side effects, which is a plus.
I wish the bottle had more pills. Otherwise they r convenient ti swallow. Recommended for people after 40
I think it’s good. I like sulphoraphane to pair with it. I’d like more data on it to continue my use of this.
Good quality of the pills. Not reflux after or something.
Astaxanthin is one of my favorite antioxidants, and this 8 mg softgel is potent. Since I started taking it, I’ve noticed my skin feels more hydrated and my eyes feel less strained after long hours at the computer. It’s a great way to fight oxidative stress from the inside out. The softgels are tiny and have no aftertaste. Very satisfied with this purchase!
I had no issues taking these pills. If there is any effect I cannot tell but studies show that this is very good antioxidant, has benefits for skin so I will continue to take them as anti age supplement
Trying to work these into my routine. Probably one of the top antioxidants to take
