Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid from microalgae and one of the strongest antioxidants found in nature. It is traditionally used to support skin and cellular defence against everyday oxidative stress. Astaxanthin is in OxiShield.

Astaxanthin is the deep red carotenoid that gives salmon and prawns their colour. Purezen sources it from Haematococcus pluvialis, the microalga the whole food chain gets it from in the first place.

Astaxanthin is among the stronger antioxidants in the carotenoid family and is used to support the body against everyday free radical damage. Its structure lets it sit across the cell membrane rather than at one end of it.

Like lutein, lycopene and zeaxanthin, astaxanthin gathers in the skin and the eye. In OxiShield those four sit together as the carotenoid group of the formula.

One serving of OxiShield (2 capsules) gives 4 mg of astaxanthin, from Haematococcus pluvialis. Astaxanthin is used at lower milligram amounts than most antioxidants.

OxiShield: one capsule after each of two meals. Taking it with food matters, because carotenoids are absorbed better alongside some fat.

Give it at least 3 months of daily use, with a diet rich in fruits and vegetables.

Every batch comes with a Certificate of Analysis, a lab report confirming what is inside. The finished product is also tested at a NABL-accredited lab for heavy metals and microbes. See the current batch report on the OxiShield page.

Speak to your doctor first if you are pregnant or nursing, take regular medication, or have a medical condition. Keep out of reach of children. Do not exceed the recommended dose. Stop use and seek advice if any reaction occurs.
