Pharmacology

Astaxanthin works as an antioxidant through two mechanisms: it suppresses singlet oxygen and inhibits lipid peroxidation. Through these actions it lowers harmful free radicals, making it a very strong antioxidant. Astaxanthin is absorbed by passive diffusion into the intestinal epithelium alongside fatty acids. It is then incorporated into lipoproteins and transported to the liver via the lymph and blood, with part of it resecreted along with lipoproteins. More than 70% of astaxanthin is found in the high-density lipoprotein fraction of plasma. Its highest concentration occurs in the small intestine, followed by subcutaneous fat, abdominal fat, spleen, liver, heart, kidney and skin, with the lowest concentration found in the muscles.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding

Both pregnant and breastfeeding women should steer clear of astaxanthin supplements, since there simply isn't enough safety data on their use in these situations yet.

⚠️ Talk to your doctor before taking any medicine during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dosage Reference

⚠️ Reference ranges from official sources only. Consult your doctor for personalized dosing.

Adults: Adults (18 years and older): The usual daily dose is 4 mg, taken with or shortly before a morning meal. At 4 mg, astaxanthin acts as a strong antioxidant that supports cardiovascular health by helping with atherosclerosis and lowering cholesterol, while also boosting immune function. At 4 to 8 mg, it helps improve the condition of the skin and protects it from sun damage, reducing wrinkles, pimples, and other signs of aging; it also supports recovery from central nervous system injuries and helps protect the eyes from cataracts and macular degeneration. At 8 to 12 mg, it helps reduce inflammation, including arthritis. At 16 mg, it helps reduce the risk of infertility.
