Frequently Asked Questions
Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment found in microalgae and the seafood (like salmon and krill) that feed on it. It is considered one of the most powerful antioxidants in nature — up to 6,000x stronger than vitamin C and 550x stronger than vitamin E in neutralising certain free radicals.
Research links astaxanthin to a wide range of benefits: reduced oxidative stress, improved skin elasticity and hydration (reduced wrinkles), enhanced exercise performance and recovery, eye health protection, cardiovascular support, and reduced inflammation. It is particularly popular for anti-ageing and active lifestyles.
Take 1 softgel daily with a meal containing healthy fats, as astaxanthin is fat-soluble and absorbs best alongside dietary fat. Swanson Astaxanthin Maximum Strength contains 12mg per softgel — at the higher end of typical supplement doses, suitable for those seeking maximum antioxidant support.
Studies have used doses ranging from 4mg to 40mg daily, and 12mg is considered a safe and effective dose for general health and performance benefits. Long-term safety at this dose has been well-documented. As always, consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication.
