NOW Astaxanthin 10 mg Extra Strength Softgels — 60 Count, Non-GMO Microalgae, Enhanced Absorption

NOW Astaxanthin 10 mg is an extra-strength softgel supplement made from non-GMO Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae that provides a concentrated source of naturally occurring carotenoids like lutein, canthaxanthin, and beta-carotene.

This concentrated formula delivers 10 mg of astaxanthin per softgel — more than double the potency of many regular-strength options — and is manufactured in the USA under strict GMP standards. Designed to be taken once daily with a fat-containing meal, each bottle contains 60 softgels packaged by NOW, a family-owned company that has been producing supplements since 1968. The softgel format helps with absorption of this fat-soluble nutrient and the source is non-GMO Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae.

How is this astaxanthin sourced and why does that matter?

The astaxanthin in this product comes from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae, a widely used natural source of this carotenoid. Natural microalgae-derived astaxanthin provides a profile of related carotenoids such as lutein and beta-carotene that are not present in synthetic forms, and NOW labels the ingredient as non-GMO.

• Derived from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae (non-GMO).
• Includes naturally occurring lutein, canthaxanthin and beta-carotene.
• Softgel form supports absorption of fat-soluble nutrients.

What strength and serving schedule should I expect?

This is an extra-strength formula delivering 10 mg of astaxanthin per softgel. The recommended use is one softgel daily taken with a meal that contains some fat to support absorption; the bottle contains 60 softgels for a two-month supply at the suggested serving.

• 10 mg astaxanthin per softgel — extra strength.
• Suggested dose: 1 softgel daily with a fat-containing meal.
• 60 softgels per bottle — approximately a 60-day supply.
