Formulation
Formula re: Contains
How it works: Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid derived from non-GMO Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae. Due to its unique structure, astaxanthin plays an important role in cellular free radical protection and healthy immune system responses. Astaxanthin has been shown in clinical studies to promote normal cognitive function and may help to maintain a positive mood in adults. In the eye, it helps to neutralize free radicals and helps to manage eyestrain due to computer usage.
