How It Works
How It Works
Astaxanthin's unique molecular structure allows it to cross both the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers — protective filters that block most antioxidants. Once inside, it neutralizes free radicals and supports healthy inflammatory response in these critical tissues.
Who It's For
Adults looking for targeted brain and eye support. Ideal for those spending long hours on screens, athletes seeking recovery support, or anyone wanting superior antioxidant protection where it matters most.
Who It's Not For
Not suitable if you're pregnant, nursing, or taking medications without consulting your physician. This is adult-only supplementation.
About This Product
What It Does
NOW Astaxanthin delivers antioxidant protection directly to your brain and eyes. Unlike most antioxidants that can't penetrate protective barriers, astaxanthin's structure allows it to reach these critical areas. Your body gets targeted support where standard antioxidants simply can't go.
Why It Works
- BARRIER CROSSING: Unique molecular structure penetrates blood-brain and blood-retina barriers that block other antioxidants.
- NATURAL SOURCE: Derived from Haematococcus pluvialis algae — the richest natural source of bioavailable astaxanthin.
- INFLAMMATORY RESPONSE: Supports healthy inflammatory response in brain and eye tissues exposed to daily oxidative stress.
What's Inside
Each softgel contains 4mg natural astaxanthin in safflower oil for optimal absorption. Vegetarian formula free from major allergens including gluten, dairy, and shellfish. Made in a GMP-certified facility.
Why we carry it: NOW uses natural algae-sourced astaxanthin that actually crosses protective barriers — the real difference for brain and eye support.
