Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant found in microalgae and seafood, shown in studies to greatly exceed vitamin C’s antioxidant capabilities. It helps protect the retina from oxidative stress caused by light and environmental toxins. Astaxanthin has been researched for visual endurance and eye fatigue benefits. For product comparison, Astaxanthin should be checked by exact form, plant part or compound type, standardization, amount per serving, and whether it is listed as an active ingredient, other ingredient, or part of a blend. Useful database notes include what it is used for, where it occurs naturally or how it is commonly sourced, and what shoppers should verify on the Supplement Facts label.
