Astaxanthin (Antioxidant) 4 mg – Powerful antioxidant protection, eye and skin health, resilience to oxidative stress, and recovery

Astaxanthin 4 mg, Now Foods is a premium supplement providing Zanthin® astaxanthin, extracted from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble xanthophyll with a remarkable antioxidant role, capable of neutralizing free radicals and quenching singlet oxygen, protecting lipids, proteins, and DNA against oxidative stress. Thanks to its unique structure, it acts both within cell membranes and at the lipid–water interface, offering extended protection to sensitive tissues such as the eyes, skin, and muscles. Considered an “intelligent antioxidant”, astaxanthin supports the body’s resilience against modern stressors: pollution, blue light, UV radiation, intense physical effort, and a fast-paced lifestyle. The Now Foods formula ensures a standardized, stable source that’s easy to integrate into a daily wellness routine.



 

Detailed benefits of Astaxanthin (Antioxidant) 4 mg, Now Foods

• High-level systemic antioxidant protection

Astaxanthin has a singlet oxygen „quenching” capacity and free-radical neutralization above the carotenoid average, helping maintain the integrity of membranes and cellular organelles. By limiting lipid peroxidation, it supports cellular homeostasis, mitochondrial performance, and day-to-day metabolic balance.

✅ Supports cellular protection against environmental factors
✅ Contributes to maintaining energy at the cellular level
✅ Helps protect the cell’s sensitive components

• Eye health and visual comfort at screens

The red–orange pigment of astaxanthin accumulates in the retina and macula, areas rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids prone to oxidation. Thus, it supports ocular tissues’ resistance to strong light and prolonged screen exposure, contributing to visual comfort during digital activities, driving, or reading.

✅ Visual comfort in front of digital devices
✅ Support for clarity and visual acuity
✅ Antioxidant protection for the retina exposed daily
 

• Skin, inside-out photoprotection, and healthy appearance

The skin is the main barrier in contact with the environment, and UV radiation and pollutants generate oxidative stress that affects collagen and elastin. Astaxanthin helps protect dermal fibers, supporting elasticity, firmness, hydration, and an even tone for a visibly more rested look.

✅ Support for hydration and suppleness
✅ Helps diminish the appearance of redness after exposure
✅ Brighter complexion and a feeling of comfort
 

• Muscular resilience, performance, and recovery

Intense physical activity induces increased free-radical production. Astaxanthin supports muscles during demanding periods, helping reduce the feeling of heaviness and maintain mobility post-effort. By protecting membranes, it helps preserve flexibility and promotes faster recovery.

✅ Support for endurance and sustained effort
✅ Faster recovery after training
✅ Muscle comfort and day-to-day mobility
 

• Cardiovascular health and circulation

By protecting lipids from oxidation and maintaining endothelial integrity, astaxanthin supports balanced blood flow. Its antioxidant effect is reflected in maintaining vessel elasticity and a favorable oxidative profile, useful during periods of stress, sedentariness, or a busy schedule.

✅ Supports healthy endothelial function
✅ Contributes to maintaining lipid balance
✅ Helps protect LDL particles from oxidation
 

• Inflammatory balance and immunity

Oxidative stress and the inflammatory response are interconnected. By limiting oxidation, astaxanthin contributes to a balanced inflammatory response while supporting the body’s ability to handle daily challenges. This support is relevant for joint comfort, seasonal resilience, and recovery after effort.

✅ Support for the body’s resilience
✅ Day-to-day joint comfort
✅ Balance between recovery and activity
 

• Brain health and mental clarity

Owing to its fat-soluble nature, astaxanthin supports the protection of neuronal membranes rich in polyunsaturated fatty acids. Through its antioxidant role, it helps maintain mental clarity and focus during busy periods when multitasking and screen exposure demand cognitive resources.

✅ More stable concentration and focus
✅ Support for everyday mental stress
✅ Support for cognitive vitality
 

• Smart synergies with phytonutrients and healthy lipids

Astaxanthin’s effects can be complemented by other nutrients in the diet, such as carotenoids, vitamin E, or omega-3 fatty acids. These nutritional partners aid membrane incorporation and antioxidant recycling, supporting the overall efficiency of the endogenous antioxidant defense system.

✅ Easy integration into wellness routines
✅ Synergistic support for skin, eyes, and heart
✅ A modern approach to oxidative balance
 

• Quality, purity, and Zanthin® standardization

Now Foods uses Zanthin® astaxanthin, a standardized extract from Haematococcus pluvialis, obtained through controlled processes and rigorously tested for potency and purity. Standardization ensures lot-to-lot consistency, and the microalgae origin guarantees a natural carotenoid profile with excellent stability.

✅ 4 mg astaxanthin per serving, clear and convenient dosing
✅ Sourced from carefully cultivated microalgae
✅ Traceability and quality supported by testing
 

• Suitable for the modern lifestyle

Urban, digital, active: the combination of pollution, screens, a busy schedule, and strenuous training calls for antioxidant resources. Astaxanthin offers a versatile shield, easy to include in daily habits, whether the day means office, traffic, gym, or nature.

✅ For professionals and students tied to screens
✅ For active people and outdoor lovers
✅ For anyone seeking daily antioxidant support

Astaxanthin 4 mg, Now Foods combines carotenoid science with the standardization of a premium raw material, resulting in concentrated antioxidant support aimed at the eyes, skin, muscles, cardiovascular system, and metabolic balance. Through its ability to protect cellular structures against oxidation, it supports everyday vitality and overall well-being in a convenient format tailored to the needs of modern life.
