Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful lipophilic antioxidants yet discovered. Due to its strong anti-oxidant effects and the unique molecular structure, there are hundreds of studies have been conducted on the effectiveness and health benefits of astaxanthin. You think you know astaxanthin? or you might already taken astaxanthin? Check it here.

Taking astaxanthin daily helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports eye, skin, heart, and overall health. With consistent use, benefits may build gradually over a few weeks. It is generally safe for daily use at recommended doses.

People who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have hormone-related conditions, low blood pressure, or are taking blood-thinning or immune-suppressing medications should avoid astaxanthin unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Astaxanthin should not be mixed with blood-thinning medications, blood-pressure-lowering drugs, or immune-suppressing medications unless approved by a healthcare professional.

To the best of our knowledge, from the clinical trials using double-blind randomized controlled method, no side effects were reported at our recommended dosage (two Astadaily per day).

Besides the health benefits, we receive and record customers reporting "side-effects" from time to time, but none of them are statistically significant and no placebo or control method were used. These side-effects are list below with estimated percentage of customers: increased bowl movement (~4%); red stool (~1%);  Irregular menstruation cycle (~0.1%); gain in weight (~0.05%).

Yes. Research shows astaxanthin works as a powerful antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative stress and supports eye, skin, and heart health, with benefits improving through consistent use.

No. Astaxanthin is not known to be hard on the liver when taken at recommended doses and is generally considered safe for healthy adults.

It’s best to take astaxanthin with a meal containing healthy fats, either in the morning or evening. Timing is flexible, but taking it with food improves absorption since it is fat‑soluble.

Astaxanthin helps protect skin cells from oxidative stress, reducing signs of aging like fine lines and dryness. With consistent use, it may improve skin hydration, elasticity, and overall radiance.

CoQ10 mainly supports cellular energy and heart health. Astaxanthin is a stronger antioxidant that helps protect the skin, eyes, and overall health. The best choice depends on your personal health goals.

With consistent daily use, astaxanthin may start showing benefits in 2 to 4 weeks, with improvements in eye comfort, skin, and overall antioxidant support becoming more noticeable over time.
