Product information "Astaxanthin capsules"

Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid derived from the micro-alga Haematococcus pluvialis. The alga produces Astaxanthin to shield itself from harsh conditions such as intense UV light or drought. In the wild, this pigment is what tints salmon, shellfish and flamingos a vivid red. We work exclusively with natural Astaxanthin that retains the full carotenoid spectrum and contains zero synthetic additives. Production is sustainable and tightly controlled, ensuring purity and quality exactly as nature intended.

EFFECTS

Eyes

Astaxanthin supports eye health on several fronts. It can protect retinal and lens cells from oxidative stress, a major factor in age-related eye conditions like macular degeneration and cataracts.

  • may help prevent drusen formation in the retina
  • improved visual acuity in age-related macular degeneration (CARMIS study, 2012)
  • shields lens cells from free radicals and slows cataract development

Astaxanthin also enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery to the eye—crucial for long-term ocular health.

Natural antioxidant

Astaxanthin ranks among the most powerful natural antioxidants known. Its activity surpasses that of:

  • vitamin C by up to 6 000 times
  • coenzyme Q10 by up to 800 times
  • vitamin E by up to 550 times

Unlike synthetically produced compounds, Astaxanthin comes from a plant-based source, making it highly tolerable. It reliably protects cells from free-radical damage triggered by UV light, pollution or stress.

Skin health

Astaxanthin supports the skin from within—no chemical additives required. Its antioxidant power reduces UV-induced cell damage and helps slow premature ageing. Studies show Astaxanthin can:

  • increase skin moisture
  • enhance elasticity
  • visibly reduce wrinkles

FAQ

Astaxanthin is a reddish carotenoid in the xanthophyll group. In nature it is produced primarily by the freshwater microalga Haematococcus pluvialis when it is under stress such as intense UV light or limited nutrients. The pigment acts like a natural “sunscreen” and turns the alga deep red.

Through the food chain, astaxanthin accumulates in krill, salmon, and flamingos, which gives them their characteristic color. For Heilnatura, the alga is cultivated in closed photobioreactors under controlled conditions, the astaxanthin is then gently extracted, and filled into a plant-based HPMC capsule.

The result is a 100% natural, vegan antioxidant with no synthetic additives and no genetic engineering.

Astaxanthin is considered one of the most powerful natural antioxidants. It can neutralize free radicals up to 600 times more effectively than vitamin C, helping protect cells and tissues from oxidative stress. Research points to several potential benefits:

  • Eyes and vision – improves retinal blood flow, may slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration, and may reduce the risk of cataracts.

  • Skin protection – helps reduce UV-related skin damage, supports elasticity and hydration, and helps prevent wrinkles.

  • Inflammation and immune support – modulates pro- and anti-inflammatory pathways, supports joints and the body’s defenses.

  • Performance and recovery – may support endurance, reduce muscle fatigue, and speed recovery in athletes.

  • Cardiovascular – early studies suggest positive effects on blood lipids and vascular function.

Because astaxanthin is fat-soluble, the eyes, brain, skin, and muscles especially benefit from its protection. Supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet. If you are pregnant, nursing, or have an existing condition, please consult a healthcare professional.

The recommended daily dose is 2 capsules (= 8 mg astaxanthin). Take them with a meal that contains some fat so the fat-soluble carotenoid is absorbed optimally. You can swallow both capsules together in the morning, or split them between two meals if you have a sensitive stomach.

An amber glass bottle contains 80 capsules; at the stated dosage this lasts 40 days. To build up antioxidant protection, we recommend a course of at least 4 – 6 weeks; many users take astaxanthin long term.

Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from light. Supplements do not replace a balanced diet; if you are pregnant, nursing, or have chronic conditions, consult a healthcare professional in advance.

Es ist eine top Erfahrung mit diesen Kapseln. In der heutigen Zeit ist man immer mehr für seine weitete Gesundheit mit verantwortlich. Ich bin seit letztes Jahr in einer Makuladegeneration drin. Diese Kapseln unterstützen zu 100 Prozent meine Augen. Habe mit einer Fachklinik für Augen telefoniert, und sie empfielen mir sie einzunehmen, zusätzlich zu einer ausgewogenen gesunden Ernährung. Und ja es gab eine erste Untersuchung nach guten fast 30 Tagen. Einfach besser geworden.

Tip
Dr. Schiffmann's NRPlus 250mg + Vitamin C

Content: 60 Capsules (€1.55* / 1 Capsules)

From €92.90* (previously €129.90*)
Nicotinamide Riboside is a form of Vitamin B3 (Niacin) that acts as a precursor to NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide). NAD+ plays a crucial role in various metabolic pathways and primarily functions as an oxidizing agent. Its energy-rich form, NADH, is particularly important for ATP production.1. NAD+ Synthesis: NR is converted into NAD+ in the body, which can increase NAD+ levels in cells. This is important because NAD+ levels decrease with age or certain diseases.2. Energy Production: NAD+ plays a critical role in converting nutrients into energy in the mitochondria (the "powerhouses" of the cells).3. Cellular Repair: NAD+ is also essential for repairing DNA damage and the functioning of enzymes like sirtuins, which are involved in regulating metabolic processes and aging.4. Health Benefits: Increasing NAD+ levels through NR supplementation is believed to potentially have health benefits, such as improving cellular metabolism, supporting heart health, and possibly slowing the aging process. Ascorbic Acid is an organic acid that occurs in four different forms. However, only L-ascorbic acid is biologically active. Both L-ascorbic acid and its equivalent derivatives are referred to as Vitamin C. Due to its properties as an antioxidant and radical scavenger, Vitamin C plays an important role in the body. It also acts as an essential coenzyme in the biosynthesis of collagen. A deficiency of Vitamin C can lead to scurvy since collagen is found not only in connective tissues but also in practically all other human and animal cells. This can adversely affect connective tissues and cause symptoms such as fatigue and tiredness. Vitamin C is primarily found in fruits and vegetables. Citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, and grapefruits are well-known to be rich in Vitamin C. Among vegetables, particularly kale, red cabbage, white cabbage, and sauerkraut have high Vitamin C content. Recommended Dosage:Take 1 capsule daily, unchewed, with sufficient water. Contents:60 capsules Ingredients:L-ascorbic acid, Nicotinamide Riboside Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (capsule). NR 250mg + Vitamin C 295 mg
