Astaxanthin is the carotenoid pigment that colours salmon, shrimp and flamingos, produced by microalgae and known as one of nature's stronger antioxidants.* People take it to support skin hydration, eye health and recovery from oxidative stress.* Sports Research uses Astalif, an astaxanthin grown in Iceland, and pairs each 6 mg softgel with organic coconut oil to improve absorption.

What's inside

• 6 mg astaxanthin as Astalif, from Icelandic-grown microalgae
• Organic coconut oil to aid absorption
• 120 softgels – a four-month supply at one per day
• Non-GMO tested, gluten-free and soy-free; no synthetic fillers
• Made in cGMP-compliant facilities and third-party tested

How to use

Take one softgel daily with a meal. Carotenoids absorb best with dietary fat, which the coconut oil base helps provide. Give it six to eight weeks of regular use to assess changes in skin and eye comfort.

Why we carry it

Sports Research is one of the more transparent brands about where its astaxanthin comes from and how it is tested, and the coconut oil carrier is a thoughtful touch many competitors skip. The 120-count bottle brings a research-level 6 mg dose down to a modest cost per day.*
