Astaxanthin with Phospholipids

30 softgels

Item Catalog Number: 01923EU

NON GMO ProductThis potent antioxidant is loaded with health benefits. It’s been shown to help optimize joint, immune, brain, cardiovascular, DNA, and mitochondrial health. Even more impressive, it crosses the blood-eye barrier to support vascular health within the eye. But astaxanthin’s benefits are limited by its low absorption. So Astaxanthin with Phospholipids combines natural astaxanthin with a proprietary blend of four phospholipids to facilitate maximum absorption of astaxanthin into the bloodstream. Enjoy the full benefits of this powerful antioxidant.

Benefits at a Glance

  • Support immune, brain, cardiovascular, mitochondrial health
  • Cross the blood-eye barrier and support eye health
  • Provide higher than normal absorbability
Astaxanthin has long been a critical nutrient for eye support. This powerful carotenoid crosses the blood-eye barrier, supporting vascular health within the eye, and protecting the eyes’ sensitive cells.1

In addition to its ocular benefits, new research continues to demonstrate astaxanthin’s total body health benefits. It has been shown to optimize joint, immune,2-4 brain,5-9 cardiovascular,10-17 DNA,4,18,19 and mitochondrial health.20-24 Research has also revealed that astaxanthin can help support healthy blood sugar levels for those who are already in the normal range.25-27

But because astaxanthin is a fat-soluble antioxidant, its absorption has typically been low. In fact, some studies show that as little as 50% of oral astaxanthin is absorbed into your bloodstream.28,29

To address this problem, Life Extension® blended 4 mg of natural astaxanthin with a proprietary blend of 80 mg of four phospholipids in its Astaxanthin with Phospholipids to facilitate maximum absorption of astaxanthin into the bloodstream, where it’s transported to cells throughout the body. This formulation has been shown to enhance carotenoid absorption by several-fold, so you can enjoy the full benefits of this powerful and natural antioxidant.30

Support your ocular and whole-body health. Add this highly absorbable astaxanthin formulation to your regimen.

Scientific Sources

What is Astaxanthin with Phospholipids and why is it superior to regular astaxanthin?

Astaxanthin with Phospholipids combines natural astaxanthin from microalgae with phospholipids to dramatically enhance absorption and bioavailability. Astaxanthin is a powerful carotenoid antioxidant with unique properties, but standard formulations have limited absorption. The phospholipid delivery system increases astaxanthin bioavailability up to 12 times compared to standard formulations by creating a liposomal structure that protects the delicate compound and enhances cellular uptake. This means you get significantly more antioxidant protection from each dose, making it far more effective than conventional astaxanthin supplements.

What makes astaxanthin such a powerful antioxidant?

Astaxanthin is considered one of nature's most powerful antioxidants, with antioxidant activity up to 6,000 times stronger than vitamin C and 550 times stronger than vitamin E in certain tests. Unlike many antioxidants, astaxanthin can cross both the blood-brain barrier and blood-retinal barrier, protecting the brain, eyes, and nervous system. Its unique molecular structure allows it to span cell membranes, protecting both the interior and exterior of cells simultaneously. Astaxanthin neutralizes singlet oxygen and various free radicals without becoming a pro-oxidant, making it exceptionally safe and effective for comprehensive cellular protection throughout the body.

What health benefits can I expect from Astaxanthin with Phospholipids?

Astaxanthin provides wide-ranging health benefits through its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It supports eye health by protecting the retina from oxidative damage and reducing eye fatigue from screen time. Astaxanthin supports skin health by protecting against UV damage, reducing fine lines, and improving skin moisture and elasticity. It promotes cardiovascular health by supporting healthy cholesterol oxidation and endothelial function. Athletes benefit from astaxanthin's ability to reduce exercise-induced oxidative stress, support muscle recovery, and improve endurance. The compound also supports brain health, immune function, and joint comfort through its anti-inflammatory effects.

How does astaxanthin support eye health and reduce eye strain?

Astaxanthin accumulates in the retina and other eye tissues, providing direct antioxidant protection against light-induced oxidative damage. Studies show astaxanthin reduces eye fatigue, improves focusing ability, and supports visual acuity, particularly beneficial for people who spend long hours on digital devices. It protects photoreceptor cells from damage, supports healthy blood flow to the eyes, and helps maintain proper accommodation (the eye's ability to focus at different distances). Clinical research demonstrates astaxanthin supplementation significantly reduces symptoms of computer eye strain including soreness, dryness, and blurred vision after just 4 weeks of use.

How should I take Astaxanthin with Phospholipids for optimal results?

For best absorption, take astaxanthin with a meal containing dietary fat, as it is a fat-soluble nutrient. The phospholipid formulation enhances absorption, but taking with food further optimizes uptake. Most clinical studies showing benefits used 4-12 mg daily, with effects becoming noticeable after 2-4 weeks of consistent use. For eye health and skin benefits, allow 4-8 weeks of regular supplementation to see significant improvements. Take at the same time each day to maintain steady levels. Astaxanthin is very safe with no serious side effects reported in studies, making it suitable for long-term daily use as part of a comprehensive antioxidant and anti-aging regimen.
