NOW Foods Astaxanthin 10 mg 30 Softgels

Haematococcus pluvialis is the microalgal source of astaxanthin in this formula. Astaxanthin is a red carotenoid pigment, and the label states the amount of that ingredient itself: 10 mg in one softgel.

The bottle contains 30 softgels, each representing one serving. This strength can be compared directly with the astaxanthin amount per softgel in other products. NOW recommends taking one daily with a meal containing fat. Although the active ingredient comes from microalgae, the capsule contains bovine gelatin, so the finished product is not vegan.
