NOW Foods Astaxanthin - 60 softgels
NOW Foods Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant supplement designed to support cellular health and immune function. This product contains astaxanthin, a naturally occurring carotenoid derived from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. Each veggie softgel provides a suitable dose of astaxanthin, known for its powerful free radical neutralizing properties and its ability to support balanced immune system responses.
Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid with a unique structure – it freely crosses the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers and can neutralize free radicals in the eye and central nervous system. This NOW product contains the Zanthin® preparation, which can help maintain eye health and promotes a healthy nervous system. Zanthin® is a registered trademark of Valensa International. For the safety and satisfaction of its customers, NOW Foods uses pharmacopoeial quality raw materials and their suppliers are regularly inspected.
Astaxanthin's distinctive molecular structure that allows it to effectively protect cells from oxidative damage. It is one of the most potent antioxidants available, offering benefits such as reducing inflammation, enhancing skin health, and supporting eye and cardiovascular health. The astaxanthin in NOW Foods’ supplement is sourced from non-GMO Haematococcus pluvialis, ensuring a high-quality and natural product.
This supplement is ideal for adults looking to enhance their antioxidant intake and support overall health. It is particularly beneficial for individuals exposed to high levels of oxidative stress, such as athletes, those with demanding lifestyles, or individuals seeking to maintain healthy skin and eyes. Additionally, astaxanthin’s anti-inflammatory properties make it a valuable supplement for those looking to support joint health and reduce exercise-induced muscle damage.
In terms of bioavailability, veggie softgels are superior to other capsule forms. The liquid fill inside the softgel allows for quicker dissolution and absorption in the digestive tract, meaning the body can absorb and utilize the active ingredients more efficiently. This ensures that the astaxanthin is more readily available to the body, enhancing its effectiveness. Veggie softgels also provide a convenient and easy-to-swallow option for those who may have difficulty with traditional capsules or tablets. The smooth, plant-based exterior of veggie softgels makes them easier to ingest, and they are less likely to cause irritation in the throat or esophagus. This makes them an excellent choice for individuals who may have sensitivities or difficulties with swallowing pills. Veggie softgels offer better protection for the active ingredients. The airtight seal of a softgel prevents oxidation and degradation of the astaxanthin, ensuring that each dose remains potent and effective. This is particularly important for antioxidants like astaxanthin, which can lose their efficacy when exposed to air and light. The veggie softgel form helps maintain the stability and integrity of the supplement, providing consistent benefits with each use.
NOW Foods Astaxanthin is a high-quality supplement that supports cellular health, immune function, and overall well-being. Its primary ingredient, astaxanthin, is a powerful antioxidant with numerous health benefits. The use of veggie softgels enhances the supplement’s appeal by offering a plant-based, allergen-free, and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional gelatin softgels. This makes NOW Foods Astaxanthin an excellent choice for health-conscious individuals seeking a reliable and ethical supplement.
