Astaxanthin 8 mg

Made for your daily routine.

We chose AstaZine®, a branded astaxanthin ingredient from algae grown in Himalayan water, with a stated purity of 97%. Each capsule provides 8 mg of astaxanthin, within the range explored in some studies of visual function and skin condition.

Astaxanthin is fat-soluble, so we paired it with olive oil in a vegetarian softgel. Take one capsule with a meal for the full daily serving. Each bottle provides a 60-day supply.

Astaxanthin 8 mg

What research informs Astaxanthin 8 mg?

Human studies have examined astaxanthin in relation to oxidative markers, skin condition, and visual function. A meta-analysis reported changes in selected oxidative stress markers. A skin study used 4 mg daily, while a study in adults over 40 examined 9 mg in relation to visual acuity after screen use. These different study amounts and preparations should not be treated as evidence of the effects of this finished 8 mg product.

Science & sources

Understand the formula.

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid naturally produced by the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. Clinical research primarily explores its antioxidant potential and its role in skin health and visual function. These selected publications provide context for a formula supplying 8 mg of natural astaxanthin in one capsule.

These publications concern the studied ingredients or formulas. They do not all evaluate the finished Doctor Life product, and research results do not guarantee individual outcomes.

01Astaxanthin supplementation mildly reduced oxidative stress and inflammation biomarkers: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials

Baolan Ma, Jialin Lu, Tong Kang, Ming Zhu, Ke Xiong, Jinyu Wang

Nutrition Research (2022), 99, 40-50. DOI: 10.1016/j.nutres.2021.09.005; PMID: 35091276.

A meta-analysis of 12 randomized trials involving 380 participants found favorable changes in selected markers of oxidative stress. Astaxanthin lowered malondialdehyde levels and, in some studies, supported superoxide dismutase activity and reduced isoprostanes. These findings contribute to research on its antioxidant effects.

02The Protective Role of Astaxanthin for UV-Induced Skin Deterioration in Healthy People - A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial

Naoki Ito, Shinobu Seki, Fumitaka Ueda

Nutrients (2018), 10(7), 817. DOI: 10.3390/nu10070817; PMID: 29941810.

In a ten-week study, healthy participants took 4 mg of astaxanthin or a placebo. The astaxanthin group showed greater resistance to UV-induced skin effects and favorable changes in moisture and transepidermal water loss. The publication contributes to research on nutritional support for skin health.

03Effects of diet containing astaxanthin on visual function in healthy individuals: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel study

Takahiro Sekikawa et al.

Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition (2023), 72(1), 74-81. PMID: 36777084.

In a study of 60 healthy adults, participants took 9 mg of astaxanthin or a placebo for six weeks. Among those over 40, astaxanthin had a favorable effect on maintaining visual acuity after screen use. The findings contribute to research on visual function in people who use digital devices.

Talk to us ↗
What is AstaZine® astaxanthin?

AstaZine® is a branded natural astaxanthin ingredient derived from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. The algae are grown in Himalayan water, and the ingredient has a stated purity of 97%.

Why does the capsule contain olive oil?

Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble carotenoid. Olive oil provides a lipid base for the 8 mg serving in each softgel. Take the product with a meal.

Why might astaxanthin interest people who work at screens?

Researchers have studied astaxanthin in relation to visual function after screen use. One randomized trial in adults over 40 reported a benefit in a measure of visual acuity. The findings concern the preparation and conditions studied, rather than establishing the effects of this finished product.

Why is astaxanthin studied in skin nutrition?

Astaxanthin research has examined the skin's response to UV exposure, hydration, and moisture loss. It may interest people exploring skin-focused nutrition, but it does not replace sunscreen or other sun protection.

Are the capsules suitable for vegetarians?

Yes. The softgel shell uses carrageenan instead of gelatin. The formula also contains olive oil, glycerol, mixed tocopherols, and natural algae-derived astaxanthin.

How long does the bottle last?

Each bottle contains 60 capsules. At one capsule daily, that is a 60-day supply.

Can I combine it with medication?

If you take medication, ask your doctor or pharmacist before use. They can review the supplement alongside your treatment and health needs. Do not change prescribed medication or exceed one capsule daily.
