Description

Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid derived from the micro-alga Haematococcus pluvialis. The alga produces Astaxanthin to shield itself from harsh conditions such as intense UV light or drought. In the wild, this pigment is what tints salmon, shellfish and flamingos a vivid red. We work exclusively with natural Astaxanthin that retains the full carotenoid spectrum and contains zero synthetic additives. Production is sustainable and tightly controlled, ensuring purity and quality exactly as nature intended.

EFFECTS

Eyes

Astaxanthin supports eye health on several fronts. It can protect retinal and lens cells from oxidative stress, a major factor in age-related eye conditions like macular degeneration and cataracts.

  • may help prevent drusen formation in the retina
  • improved visual acuity in age-related macular degeneration (CARMIS study, 2012)
  • shields lens cells from free radicals and slows cataract development

Astaxanthin also enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery to the eye—crucial for long-term ocular health.

Natural antioxidant

Astaxanthin ranks among the most powerful natural antioxidants known. Its activity surpasses that of:

  • vitamin C by up to 6 000 times
  • coenzyme Q10 by up to 800 times
  • vitamin E by up to 550 times

Unlike synthetically produced compounds, Astaxanthin comes from a plant-based source, making it highly tolerable. It reliably protects cells from free-radical damage triggered by UV light, pollution or stress.

Skin health

Astaxanthin supports the skin from within—no chemical additives required. Its antioxidant power reduces UV-induced cell damage and helps slow premature ageing. Studies show Astaxanthin can:

  • increase skin moisture
  • enhance elasticity
  • visibly reduce wrinkles

Ich nehme diese Kapseln schon länger von Ihnen, immer 2 Stück vor dem Frühstück. Ich hab das 1. Mal auch gleich mehrere Gläser bestellt, dieses Mal waren es 6 Stück, da auch mein Sohn und mein großer Enkel sie einnehmen. Wir sind sehr zufrieden. Ich benütze noch andere Kapseln dauerhaft, wie z.B. SPIKE von Dr.Schiffmann.

Frequently Asked Questions About Astaxanthin

Do you have more questions about our astaxanthin products? In this short FAQ, you will find further information:

Astaxanthin is a reddish carotenoid from the xanthophyll group and is considered one of the most powerful natural antioxidants. In nature, it is primarily produced by the freshwater microalga Haematococcus pluvialis when exposed to stress conditions such as intense UV radiation or nutrient deficiency. The pigment acts as a natural sun protection for the algae and gives it a deep red color.

Through the food chain, astaxanthin is transferred to animals such as salmon, crustaceans, or flamingos, giving them their characteristic reddish color. For Heilnatura, the algae is cultivated under controlled conditions in closed photobioreactors, the astaxanthin is gently extracted, and then encapsulated in a purely plant-based HPMC capsule.

Astaxanthin belongs to the carotenoid family, like beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, and is known for its particularly strong antioxidant properties.

Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants and can neutralize free radicals far more effectively than vitamin C. Sensitive areas such as the eyes, skin, muscles, and cardiovascular system particularly benefit from its antioxidant properties. It may support blood circulation in the eyes, help reduce UV-induced skin damage, improve elasticity and hydration, and promote recovery after physical exertion.

The recommended daily dose is 2 capsules (= 8 mg astaxanthin) and should ideally be taken with a meal containing some fat, as this fat-soluble carotenoid is best absorbed this way. You can take both capsules together in the morning – or split them between two meals if you have a sensitive stomach.

One amber glass bottle contains 80 capsules; at the recommended dosage, it lasts for 40 days. To build up antioxidant protection at the cellular level, a course of at least 4–6 weeks is recommended; many users take astaxanthin continuously.

Yes, astaxanthin is found in certain foods, especially in salmon, crustaceans, and shrimp, which absorb the pigment through their diet. However, the amount consumed through food is usually quite low, which is why high-dose supplements can be useful for targeted intake of its antioxidant benefits.

Yes – our capsule shells are made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a purely plant-based cellulose.

They contain no gelatin, gluten, lactose, or GMOs. Filling takes place in Austria in accordance with GMP and HACCP standards under gentle temperature conditions to preserve sensitive active ingredients.

Each batch is also laboratory-tested for heavy metals, microbiological safety, and active ingredient content.

Tip
Dr. Schiffmann's NRPlus 250mg + Vitamin C

Content: 60 Capsules (€1.55 / 1 Capsules)

Regular price: From €92.90

Nicotinamide Riboside is a form of Vitamin B3 (Niacin) that acts as a precursor to NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide). NAD+ plays a crucial role in various metabolic pathways and primarily functions as an oxidizing agent. Its energy-rich form, NADH, is particularly important for ATP production.1. NAD+ Synthesis: NR is converted into NAD+ in the body, which can increase NAD+ levels in cells. This is important because NAD+ levels decrease with age or certain diseases.2. Energy Production: NAD+ plays a critical role in converting nutrients into energy in the mitochondria (the "powerhouses" of the cells).3. Cellular Repair: NAD+ is also essential for repairing DNA damage and the functioning of enzymes like sirtuins, which are involved in regulating metabolic processes and aging.4. Health Benefits: Increasing NAD+ levels through NR supplementation is believed to potentially have health benefits, such as improving cellular metabolism, supporting heart health, and possibly slowing the aging process. Ascorbic Acid is an organic acid that occurs in four different forms. However, only L-ascorbic acid is biologically active. Both L-ascorbic acid and its equivalent derivatives are referred to as Vitamin C. Due to its properties as an antioxidant and radical scavenger, Vitamin C plays an important role in the body. It also acts as an essential coenzyme in the biosynthesis of collagen. A deficiency of Vitamin C can lead to scurvy since collagen is found not only in connective tissues but also in practically all other human and animal cells. This can adversely affect connective tissues and cause symptoms such as fatigue and tiredness. Vitamin C is primarily found in fruits and vegetables. Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are well-known to be rich in Vitamin C. Among vegetables, particularly kale, red cabbage, white cabbage, and sauerkraut have high Vitamin C content. Recommended Dosage:Take 1 capsule daily, unchewed, with sufficient water. Contents:60 capsules Ingredients:L-ascorbic acid, Nicotinamide Riboside Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (capsule). NR 250mg + Vitamin C 295 mg
