Why supplement?

Protects skin against photo-oxidation
Astaxanthin spans both sides of the cell membrane and quenches singlet oxygen. Human trials mostly watch erythema and hydration after UV exposure. For people who spend time in the sun and whose skin reddens easily, changes in erythema fading and skin moisture are more often noticeable after several weeks of continued use.
Eases eye strain
Some trials watch fatigue scales and accommodative function after prolonged near work; the keto structure lets it stay in membrane lipids and buffer oxidation. For people who stare at screens too long and whose eyes feel dry and puffy, changes in comfort are more often noticeable after several weeks of continued use.
Lowers post-exercise oxidation
When blood oxidative markers rise after exercise, astaxanthin can terminate chain oxidation in muscle-cell membrane lipids. For people with sore, swollen muscles and slow recovery after high-intensity training, changes in oxidative markers and how sore they feel are more often noticeable after several weeks of continued use.
