An Advanced Free-Radical Scavenger
Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring red-orange carotenoid produced by the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis—the same pigment that gives salmon, shrimp, and flamingos their vivid colour. As a fat-soluble carotenoid, it has been widely studied for how it fits into the body’s antioxidant network. It provides a protective phytonutrient that helps reduce oxidative damage caused by free radicals and works alongside other dietary antioxidants for broader support. Its long history in nature has made it a well-recognized and potent nutrient of interest. New Roots Herbal’s extract provides a concentrated, non‑GMO source of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis, rigorously tested in an ISO 17025–accredited laboratory for safety, purity, and potency—ideal for those seeking strong daily antioxidant support from a natural carotenoid.
How oxidative stress can affect you
- Feeling “worn down” after time in polluted or smoky environments
- More noticeable fatigue after sun exposure or outdoor elements
- Noticing your skin looks dull or tired from environmental exposure
- Seem to get sick more often with colds or infections
- Recovery from wounds, cuts, or bruises takes longer
Understanding how Astaxanthin works
After you take astaxanthin, your body absorbs it much like other healthy fats. It travels through the bloodstream and becomes part of your natural antioxidant system. Because it’s a fat-soluble nutrient, small amounts can be stored in the body for short periods. Over time, your body breaks it down naturally, and the leftovers are cleared mostly through the liver and digestive tract. Taking it regularly helps maintain a steady supply as part of your overall antioxidant intake.
