Solgar Astaxanthin 5mg contains Astaxanthin, a type of carotenoid, which is a natural pigment found in a variety of foods. Carotenes are specifically found in vegetables and fruits, with beta-carotene found in those which are dark orange or green. Astaxanthin gives a vibrant red-orange colour to lobster, salmon and some algae. As some diets often do not contain a range of fruits and vegetables, taking a supplement to reach adequate levels of carotenoids could be useful. Solgar Astaxanthin 5mg provides Astaxanthin derived from Haematococcus Pluvialis, a fresh water algae. All Solgar products meet our industry recognized “Gold Standard” for excellence. Made using naturally sourced ingredients and innovating since 1947, Solgar is your perfect supplement to good health – 98% of Solgar consumers recommend the brand.
