a) Presentation and Packaging Quantities:


Box contains 2 blister stripes of 10’s soft gelatin capsules. Each soft gelatin capsule contains
Astaxanthin 4mg.

b) Description:
Astaxanthin acts as an antioxidant by dual mode of action. It suppresses singlet oxygen and
also inhibits lipid peroxidation. By these actions it reduces the harmful free radicals.
Therefore acts as a very strong antioxidant. Astaxanthin is absorbed by passive diffusion into
the intestinal epithelium alongside fatty acids. Then it is incorporated into lipoproteins,
transported to the liver, via lymph and blood and partly resecreted with lipoproteins. More
than 70% of the Astaxanthin is contained in high-density lipoprotein part of plasma. Highest
concentration of Astaxanthin is in the small intestine, followed by subcutaneous fat, spleen,
liver, heart, kidney and skin and lowest in the muscles.
