Astaxanthin is a naturally sourced, red-pigmented carotenoid produced by microalgae and accumulated in seafood like salmon, krill and shrimp. It is distinguished among carotenoids for its ability to support nutrient systems involved in cellular protection. Metabolics Astaxanthin is delivered in softgels suspended in a lipid base to enhance absorption and provide dependable daily support.

Metabolics Astaxanthin Softgels are crafted with purity, quality, and optimal bioavailability at their core. Using a high-grade astaxanthin source suspended in healthy lipids for enhanced absorption, this clean formulation is completely free from unnecessary fillers or additives. Guided by practitioner expertise and produced to exceptional quality standards, it provides dependable antioxidant support that fits naturally into your daily wellness routine.

Normally, the body can handle free radicals if enough antioxidants are available, however when we have an abundance of free radicals it may be worth considering increasing our consumption of antioxidants. An antioxidant is a substance than can give an electron to the unstable free radical atom and stop the chain reaction and, in turn, the damage. Well known antioxidants include Vitamins A, C, E, Beta Carotene, and now, the super-antioxidant Astaxanthin.

A randomized double-blind study evaluated Astaxanthin’s effects on oxidative damage to fatty acid membranes, the study concluded that Astaxanthin supplementation lead to significantly reduced oxidized fatty acids. In another study conducted at the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Tokushima, Japan. Astaxanthin was found to be twice as effective as Beta-Carotene at inhibiting oxidative damage to lipids (that form cell membranes). The study concluded that Astaxanthin’s unique chemical structure makes it a particularly potent tool for trapping free radicals.
