Health benefits of astaxanthin**

Supports healthy eye function – Similar to the beta-carotene found in carrots, astaxanthin is a potent carotenoid that supports optimal eye function. However, astaxanthin is at least 10 times more powerful than beta-carotene and other antioxidant carotenoids. According to a 2008 study published in the journal Ophthalmology, regularly supplementing with astaxanthin can help maintain healthy vision.

Promotes healthy immune function – According to a study published in the journal Nutrition & Metabolism, supplementing with astaxanthin can help maintain healthy immune function. As a potent antioxidant, astaxanthin can support your natural immune defenses by helping protect your body against external threats.

Supports healthy heart function – Antioxidants, such as astaxanthin, support healthy cardiovascular function by protecting your heart from oxidative stress and supporting its overall health. According to a study published in the Biological & Pharmaceutical Bulletin, astaxanthin can also help maintain healthy blood pressure levels that are already within the normal range.

Promotes healthy joints and tendons – According to a study done by the American Association for Hand Surgery, supplementing with astaxanthin can help maintain the optimal health and mobility of your joints and tendons. Astaxanthin also possesses potent antioxidant properties that can protect your joints and tendons from oxidative stress and promote their overall health.

Supports healthy brain function – A study that appeared in the journal Alternative Medicine Review suggests that astaxanthin can support a healthy brain and help maintain optimal cognitive functions. As an antioxidant, astaxanthin helps protect your brain from free radical damage.

What makes Chief Originals ® Astaxanthin Softgels so unique?**

It is a safe, easy and cost-efficient way to get astaxanthin – Regularly consuming brightly colored seafood, such as shrimp, trout, salmon and other sea creatures, can boost your intake of astaxanthin by a small amount. However, you can get a much more concentrated form from supplements, without the worry of mercury contamination commonly found with seafood. Each softgel of Chief Originals® Astaxanthin contains exactly 12 mg of astaxanthin, allowing you to acquire your daily dose of this potent antioxidant affordably.

It is thoroughly lab verified for cleanliness and purity – Chief Originals® Astaxanthin Softgels are one of the cleanest and highest-quality astaxanthin supplements on the market because it's sustainably grown in tightly controlled lab environment with no exposure to radiation, pesticides or GMOs.
