Pure Encapsulations Astaxanthin — 4 mg softgels you can titrate
Astaxanthin is the most potent carotenoid antioxidant we have — it spans the whole cell membrane and quenches free radicals on both the water and fat sides. Pure Encapsulations uses esterified astaxanthin from Haematococcus microalgae in a 4 mg softgel, so you can take one for maintenance or two to three for the higher doses used in skin and joint research.
Who I reach for it with: skin protection against sun exposure; eye and retina support; joint comfort; immune and antioxidant protocols; anyone who wants dose flexibility.
What makes it different: 4 mg per softgel from Haematococcus, in extra virgin olive oil, with the carotenoids lutein and beta-carotene that come along naturally. Pure Encapsulations' free-from standard.
Protocol fit: pairs with Ultra Omega-3 and Vitamin D3 & K2. Designs for Health Astaxanthin is the 6 mg AstaREAL single-dose option.
FAQ — How many should I take? One to three softgels daily with meals — one for maintenance, more for skin or joint protocols.
FAQ — Is it vegetarian? No — the softgel is gelatin.
