I take this because I have angina and it is good for blood vessels Review: Good antioxidant supplement - Been taking this for a few weeks now, and its pretty good overall. The 4mg Astaxanthin seems to do the trick – skin’s looking a bit clearer, and Ive noticed a wee boost in energy, nothing dramatic but decent enough. The softgels are easy to take, and I like that its vegan and made from microalgae, so its a good option if youre into that. Quality seems spot on, no weird aftertaste or anything like that. That said, 4mg is a bit on the low side. If youre after bigger benefits, youd probably need to take two a day, which makes it a bit pricey. But for a general antioxidant boost, it’s alright. All in, a decent enough supplement for the price. ## Features - POTENT ANTIOXIDANT COMPLEX - to enhance the bioavailability of astaxanthin, we provide lutein & zeaxanthin, powerful carotenoids which all work in synergy - OPTIMUM DOSE - each softgel provides a safe long-term dose of 4 mg active astaxanthin from microalgae - naturally bioavailable, helping to maintain the delicate balance of antioxidants without overloading the body - PURE MICROALGAE - A superior, ultra-pure source of astaxanthin, cultivated in a closed climate-controlled system (rather than open ponds), it produces exceptionally pure microalgae with high active-ingredient content - SUSTAINABLE - A sustainable source of astaxanthin, manufactured using green technology, and does not negatively affect ecosystems or contain contaminants from the sea - VEGAN - supplied in vegan seaweed capsules, GMP manufactured in the UK, hypoallergenic & no gluten, dairy, lactose, yeast; non-GMO; certified vegan ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07BGHKG77 | | ASIN | B07BGHKG77 | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Benefits | Antioxidant | | Best Sellers Rank | 5,536 in Health & Personal Care ( See Top 100 in Health & Personal Care ) 5 in Astaxanthin Antioxidant Supplements | | Brand Name | Igennus Healthcare Nutrition | | Colour | Brown | | Container Type | Bottle | | Country Of Origin | United Kingdom | | Country of origin | United Kingdom | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (3,454) | | Customer reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (3,454) | | Diet Type | Vegan | | Dosage Form | Softgel | | Flavour | Unflavoured | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item Dimensions | 50 x 50 x 100 millimetres | | Item Form | Softgel | | Item Nype Name | HEALTH_PERSONAL_CARE | | Item Weight | 29 Grams | | Item model number | SKU190 | | Manufacturer | Igennus Healthcare Nutrition | | Manufacturer | Igennus Healthcare Nutrition | | Manufacturer Contact Information | Igennus Healthcare Nutrition, St John's Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, United Kingdom - Tel: +44 1223 421434 | | Manufacturer Part Number | SKU190 | | Material Features | Vegan | | Model Name | Igennus Healthcare Nutrition Pure & Essential Astaxanthin Complex Capsules | | Model Number | SKU190 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Primary Supplement Type | astaxanthin | | Product Dimensions | 5 x 5 x 10 cm; 29 g | | Special Ingredients | Astaxanthin | | Supplement Formulation | Individual Supplement | | Total Servings Per Container | 90 | | Unit Count | 90 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Igennus Healthcare Nutrition - **Diet type:** Vegan - **Flavour:** Unflavoured - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 50 x 50 x 100 millimetres - **Item form:** Softgel - **Item weight:** 29 Grams - **Primary supplement type:** astaxanthin - **Product benefits:** Antioxidant - **Special ingredients:** Astaxanthin - **Unit count:** 90 count ## Images ![Igennus Astaxanthin Complex, 42mg Microalgae Complex Oil Providing 4mg H. Pluvialis Astaxanthin, 90 Vegan Softgels - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71TzSpvngDL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: It only has 4mg of astaxanthin isn't that a bit low dose when others are 7-12-18mg etc?** A: Thank you for your question. When comparing astaxanthin supplements, beware that there is a difference between ‘bulk oil’ and active astaxanthin. Bulk astaxanthin oil contains a maximum of 10% active astaxanthin, therefore we have used 42mg of bulk oil to guarantee 4mg of active astaxanthin per capsule. If it isn’t clear from the packaging, I would recommend contacting the company to ask them to clarify whether the 12mg is indeed bulk oil or active astaxanthin. We use an evidence-based approach to our formulations, and a standard part of the NPD process involves our in-house nutrition scientists and medics reviewing published studies to determine the most effective, safe dose. As such, more in one dose doesn’t necessarily equate with better effects. For example, in the case of astaxanthin, 4mg (the equivalent of consuming around six portions of wild pink salmon) has been well documented in humans to provide significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits for many health conditions. If, however, you wish to take a higher dose and sustain peak levels over 24 hours, it may be more clinically efficient to take three 4mg capsules split over the day (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) rather than 12mg in one single dose. However, choosing a quality astaxanthin product is essential to guarantee benefits. There are, in fact, several factors that can help differentiate a genuine astaxanthin product from one that is falling short of the label claim (which may actually result from lack of understanding on the part of sellers). Firstly, astaxanthin comes in two strengths: 5%, and 10%. Secondly, astaxanthin exists as a complex of which 95% is astaxanthin and 5% other carotenoids. Therefore to obtain a product with a 12mg label using a 5% oil you would need to add 254mg bulk oil and for a 10% oil, you would need to add 127mg bulk oil. If the nutritional panel is not clear, it is impossible to know if the bulk oil is 5% or 10% astaxanthin or if the input is by active (mg actual astaxanthin) or the bulk oil itself. If this were the case, 12mg of a 5% oil would deliver 0.57mg astaxanthin, and 12mg of a 10% oil would deliver 1.14mg astaxanthin, both considerably lower than a 12mg label claim. As such, simply stating 12mg astaxanthin on a label can be misleading for consumers. Manufacturers are not permitted to comment on competitors’ pages. Still, we are aware that some companies have been challenged by their Amazon customers to declare a more transparent overview of their nutritional panel. This is not to say that all astaxanthin products found on Amazon are failing to meet their label claim, and this is generally reflected in the price. It is a complex issue, as explained above, and we strive for absolute clarity for customer confidence. Unlike consumers, as manufacturers we are aware of the cost price of nutrients such as astaxanthin; in fact, the RRP for some brands claiming active rather than bulk ingredient, is lower than the wholesale COST price for genuine 12mg active capsules. As with most nutritional supplements, you get what you pay for in terms of clinically effective nutrients provided at a clinically effective dose. If a product seems too good to be true in terms of the dose offered for the price, then this should perhaps be considered a ‘red flag’. I hope this clarifies your concern. Kind regards, Nina Bailey BSc (Hons), MSc, PhD, ANutr Nutrition Scientist Igennus Healthcare Nutrition **Q: Is this free from synthetic made pill and Binders?** A: Thank you for your question. The capsule shell used for Pure & Essential AstaPure Astaxanthin Complex is made from glycerol, modified corn starch, carrageenan and sodium carbonate. These ingredients are sourced from sustainably sourced palm oil, non-GMO cornstarch and red seaweed.

Kind regards, Maxine Sheils BSc (Hons), DipCNM Nutritionist Igennus Healthcare Nutrition **Q: Hi just wondering if the lutein, zeaxanthin combination is naturally occurring in Astaxanthin or added syntheticially?** A: Thank you for your question. Our natural astaxanthin oil is derived from H. Pluvialis algae rather than a synthetic form. We decided to leave in, rather than extract, the trace amounts of other carotenoids, including lutein, zeaxanthin and beta carotene, that naturally occur in H. Pluvialis algae-derived astaxanthin, as these also bring their own antioxidant benefits.
