At Health Orchard, we are committed to providing accurate product information and images. However, manufacturers may update their product packaging or ingredients, and these changes may not be immediately reflected on our website.

Taking astaxanthin daily may provide ongoing antioxidant support, potentially benefiting skin health, eye function, and exercise recovery. Some people report improved skin appearance and reduced exercise-induced fatigue with regular use.
NOW Foods Astaxanthin may support skin health, eye function, and provide powerful antioxidant protection. It may also help reduce inflammation and support cardiovascular health.
Astaxanthin is naturally found in certain seafood, particularly in salmon, trout, and shrimp. It's also present in some algae, which is where many animals in the food chain obtain it.
While generally safe for most people, those with seafood or shellfish allergies should use caution with astaxanthin supplements. Individuals on blood thinners or with bleeding disorders should also exercise caution.
Astaxanthin is not known to have negative effects on kidney function in healthy individuals. Some studies even suggest it may have protective effects on kidney health, but more research is needed.
Astaxanthin is fat-soluble, so it's often recommended to take it with a meal containing some fat, for optimal absorption. The specific time of day is less important than consistency in taking it.
