Astaxanthin 4 mg with Phospholipids by Life Extension – DNA & Cellular Protection – 30 Softgels

Life Extension Astaxanthin 4 mg with Phospholipids – One of Nature’s Most Powerful Antioxidants for DNA & Cellular Protection

Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment produced by microalgae and found in salmon, shrimp, and krill — and it is widely regarded as one of the most potent antioxidants in nature. Life Extension’s Astaxanthin 4 mg combines natural astaxanthin with phospholipids to dramatically enhance absorption, delivering superior cellular protection against oxidative stress, UV damage, and inflammation throughout the body — including the brain, eyes, skin, and muscles.

• Provides exceptional antioxidant protection — up to 6,000x stronger than vitamin C against certain free radicals
• Protects DNA, cellular membranes, and mitochondria from oxidative damage
• Supports eye health and visual acuity by reducing oxidative stress in retinal tissue
• Promotes skin health by protecting against UV-induced photoaging and supporting skin elasticity
• Supports muscle recovery, endurance, and reduced exercise-induced oxidative stress

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does astaxanthin need phospholipids?
Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble carotenoid with notoriously low oral bioavailability in standard formulations. Binding it to phospholipids (similar to the Phytosome® approach) creates a more lipid-compatible complex that crosses intestinal membranes far more efficiently, resulting in significantly higher plasma levels and tissue delivery.

Is astaxanthin safe to take daily?
Yes — astaxanthin has an excellent long-term safety profile. Clinical studies have used doses of 4–12 mg daily for extended periods with no adverse effects. It is one of the safest and most well-tolerated antioxidant supplements available.
