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.

Ich hatte Astaxanthin schon von einem anderen Hersteller. Ich habe das Gefühl, dass die Kapseln besser sind. Sind auch nicht gross, so dass man sie gut schlucken kann.

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.
