Astaxanthin supplements for an antioxidant-focused daily routine.
Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring red carotenoid produced by microalgae. It’s also responsible for the distinctive pink-red colour found in salmon, krill and other seafood. As a fat-soluble compound studied for its antioxidant activity, it has become a popular addition to skin, eye, exercise and healthy-ageing routines.
Choose from straightforward astaxanthin capsules and softgels in strengths ranging from 4 mg to 12 mg, alongside more comprehensive formulas combining astaxanthin with ingredients such as fish oil, krill, sesame lignans and olive extract. Those looking to build a broader routine can also explore our omega-3 supplements. As astaxanthin is fat-soluble, it’s generally best taken with a meal containing dietary fat, following the directions on your chosen product.

Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring red-orange carotenoid made by microalgae. It builds up through the marine food chain, giving wild salmon, trout, shrimp, crab and lobster their distinctive colour. You can find it naturally in foods such as sockeye salmon and krill, or in more concentrated supplement form.
Astaxanthin supplements are best known for their antioxidant support, helping protect cells from oxidative stress. They’re commonly used to support skin hydration and resilience, while emerging research is also exploring their role in exercise recovery, fatigue, heart health and brain function.
Astaxanthin can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles by supporting collagen, elasticity and skin hydration. Its antioxidant activity also helps defend against oxidative stress linked to UV exposure and premature skin ageing.
You can take astaxanthin supplements in the morning or at night. What matters most is taking it consistently with a meal that contains some fat, as this helps your body absorb it.
Choose the time that fits your routine and follow the dosage instructions on your product. For higher doses, check whether the serving should be taken at once or split across the day.
