Overview

NOW Astaxanthin provides 4 mg of natural astaxanthin per serving. While astaxanthin is a well-researched antioxidant, the provided dose of 4 mg is at the lower end of the commonly studied effective range, which typically starts at 6-12 mg/day for general benefits and up to 20 mg/day for more pronounced antioxidant effects.

The Good

Supports Cellular Protection

May Improve Skin Moisture and Elasticity

The Bad

Dose (4 mg) is Lower Than Optimal for Many Benefits
