Astaxanthin Capsules Pure Encapsulations

Astaxanthin belongs to the group of carotenoids, of which there are over 600 different types in nature. Pure Astaxanthin provides you with 4 mg of this valuable micronutrient per capsule.

Astaxanthin Effect

Carotenoids belong to the so-called "secondary plant compounds" and form a group of natural pigments. "Secondary plant compounds" are specific color, aroma, or fragrance compounds that serve to protect the plant. Carotenoids, for example, play a role in plant photosynthesis: they protect chlorophyll molecules from destruction by what is known as "photooxidation."

What is Astaxanthin good for?

The carotenoid astaxanthin contained in Pure Encapsulations® is extracted from Hawaiian blood rain algae. This freshwater alga belongs to the green algae and forms astaxanthin for protection against UV radiation. Did you know that astaxanthin is absorbed by crustaceans or birds through algae, thus giving their shells or plumage a reddish color? Your body, like many other micronutrients, cannot produce carotenoids itself. A healthy and balanced diet should therefore form the basis for you to consume enough astaxanthin.
