Astaxanthin is the red carotenoid that gives salmon and krill their colour, produced by the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. It is a notably strong antioxidant, and people take it to support skin, eye comfort, joint health and recovery from exercise.* Rulviou offers a 12 mg dose, about three times the common 4 mg, in a single daily softgel.

What's inside

• 12 mg natural astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis extract per softgel
• 120 softgels – a four-month supply at one per day
• Microalgae-sourced, non-GMO
• Gluten-free and soy-free; no artificial additives

How to use

Take one softgel daily with a meal that contains fat, which improves carotenoid absorption. Results on skin and eye comfort build over several weeks of regular use, so the four-month bottle is a reasonable trial length.

Why we carry it

Astaxanthin is often sold at 4 mg in 30-count bottles, which works out expensive at effective doses. A 12 mg softgel with 120 per bottle gives both a research-level dose and a low cost per month, from the natural algae source rather than synthetic astaxanthin.*
