The Science Behind The Glow

Not Just Another Antioxidant.

Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid with a distinctive molecular structure. Researchers are studying how this structure enables it to interact with biological membranes and participate in antioxidant processes.

A Unique Molecular Structure.

Unlike many conventional antioxidants, astaxanthin has a long, lipid-friendly molecular backbone with polar groups at both ends.

This arrangement allows it to associate with the phospholipid bilayer of cell membranes, where experimental research has explored its role in antioxidant activity and lipid protection.

01

Membrane Interaction

Its molecular structure enables interactions across different depths of lipid membranes.

02

Antioxidant Activity

Laboratory studies have examined its ability to quench reactive oxygen species and limit lipid oxidation.

03

Distinctive Carotenoid

Astaxanthin belongs to the xanthophyll family and has a distinctive combination of polar and nonpolar structural regions.

The illustration and explanations describe molecular properties investigated in laboratory and modelling studies. These findings do not independently establish clinical benefits from supplementation.

Nature Meets Science

Born From Nature.
Perfected By Science.

The journey of AstaGlow begins with one of nature's most fascinating microalgae — Haematococcus pluvialis. A natural source of the red carotenoid astaxanthin.

Nature's Pigment.
Advanced Cultivation.

Under certain environmental conditions, Haematococcus pluvialis accumulates astaxanthin, a naturally occurring red carotenoid.

AstaGlow is made with axapure™ 10 oleoresin from axabio®, produced using patented cultivation technology and supercritical CO₂ extraction.

The resulting astaxanthin extract is formulated in MCT oil and delivered in convenient vegan softgels.

Powered by axapure™ Naturally sourced astaxanthin from carefully cultivated microalgae.
01 / CULTIVATION

Naturally Grown

Haematococcus pluvialis is cultivated under carefully controlled conditions using axabio's production technology.

02 / EXTRACTION

Supercritical CO₂

The astaxanthin-rich oleoresin is extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide, without conventional organic extraction solvents.

03 / FORMULATION

Formulated With Care

Natural astaxanthin is formulated in MCT oil and delivered in vegan softgels, providing 4 mg of astaxanthin per softgel.

Backed By Research

The Science of Astaxanthin.

Beyond its molecular structure, astaxanthin has been studied in human clinical trials for its potential effects on skin health, visual function and exercise recovery. Explore what the research has found.

01 / SKIN HEALTH

A Glow That Starts Beneath the Surface.

Human studies have investigated astaxanthin's potential to support skin hydration and elasticity — two important aspects of healthy-looking skin.

Explore the Evidence

What researchers found: A systematic review and meta-analysis reported improvements in skin moisture content and elasticity following oral astaxanthin supplementation compared with placebo.

However, the pooled analysis did not demonstrate a statistically significant reduction in wrinkle depth. The trials were relatively small, and further research is needed.

Study type: Systematic review and meta-analysis of human studies.

02 / EYE & VISUAL FUNCTION

A Closer Look At Visual Function.

Modern life demands a lot from our eyes. Astaxanthin is being investigated for its potential role in supporting visual function, particularly after prolonged digital screen use.

Explore the Evidence

What researchers found: A randomized, placebo-controlled study investigated 9 mg of astaxanthin daily over six weeks in 60 healthy adults.

Among participants aged 40 and older, researchers observed a favourable result for corrected visual acuity after screen work. This finding was not observed in the younger participants.

Other measurements, including functional visual acuity and pupil constriction rate, showed no significant between-group differences.

Study type: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial.

03 / EXERCISE RECOVERY

The Science of Bouncing Back.

Exercise places physiological demands on the body. Researchers are exploring whether astaxanthin may support recovery following strenuous physical activity.

Explore the Evidence

What researchers found: A 2026 systematic review and meta-analysis covering 24 randomized controlled trials reported a reduction in creatine kinase, a biomarker associated with muscle damage.

Findings for another biomarker, lactate dehydrogenase, were favourable but less certain. No consistent benefits were demonstrated for VO₂max, time-trial performance or maximal power output.

Study type: Systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

Understanding the Evidence

Research findings relate to astaxanthin supplementation at various doses and durations, not necessarily to the AstaGlow formulation. Individual outcomes may vary, and further clinical research is required. AstaGlow is a health supplement and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent disease.
