SOLGAR Astaxanthin, 5 mg (30 caps)

Astaxanthin is regarded as one of the most powerful antioxidants. Its antioxidant properties are 6000 times stronger than vitamin C. It owes such strong antioxidant properties to the unique structure of its molecule, made up of as many as 13 conjugated double bonds and ketone groups. Thanks to having both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions, the astaxanthin molecule easily crosses the cell membrane layer and effectively protects cells against oxidative stress.
