Description

Astaxanthin 4mg x 90 Capsules

Health Leads Astaxanthin provides 4mg of naturally occurring Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis in a convenient one-a-day vegetable capsule.

Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring red carotenoid pigment found in certain algae and marine organisms. The freshwater microalga Haematococcus pluvialis is recognised as one of the richest natural sources of Astaxanthin and is the source used in this Health Leads formulation.

Each capsule contains 200mg of Haematococcus pluvialis algae powder, naturally providing 4mg Astaxanthin.

Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.

What Is Astaxanthin?

Astaxanthin belongs to the carotenoid family of naturally occurring pigments.

Carotenoids are responsible for many of the yellow, orange and red colours found throughout nature. Astaxanthin has a distinctive deep red colour and occurs naturally in the marine food chain.

It is produced by certain microalgae and can subsequently be found in marine organisms that consume algae directly or indirectly, including:

  • Salmon

  • Trout

  • Krill

  • Shrimp

  • Crustaceans

The characteristic pink-red colour associated with salmon and some shellfish is partly due to naturally occurring Astaxanthin.

Why Haematococcus pluvialis?

Health Leads uses natural Astaxanthin derived from the freshwater microalga Haematococcus pluvialis.

Under particular environmental conditions, this microalga naturally produces and accumulates Astaxanthin, giving the algae its characteristic deep red colour.

It has become one of the most widely recognised natural sources used for Astaxanthin food supplements.

This product uses naturally sourced Astaxanthin from algae rather than synthetic Astaxanthin.

Understanding the 200mg & 4mg

Each capsule contains:

200mg Haematococcus pluvialis algae powder

Naturally providing:

4mg Astaxanthin

These two figures should not be confused.

The 200mg refers to the amount of algae material in each capsule, while 4mg is the amount of Astaxanthin naturally provided by that material.

This transparent declaration makes it easy to understand exactly how much Astaxanthin each capsule provides.

Why Take Astaxanthin With Food?

Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble carotenoid.

For this reason, we recommend taking your capsule with a meal containing some dietary fat rather than on an empty stomach.

Foods containing dietary fat include olive oil, avocado, nuts, seeds, eggs and dairy products.
