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

What is astaxanthin and where does the active compound come from?
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.
What health benefits can astaxanthin offer?
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.
How should I take astaxanthin?
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.
Are the capsules vegan, and how are they made?
Yes. Our capsule shells are made from hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a purely plant-based cellulose.
They contain no gelatin, gluten, lactose, or GMOs. Filling takes place in Austria under GMP and HACCP standards at gentle temperatures to keep sensitive actives stable.
Every batch is lab tested for heavy metals, microbiology, and active content.
Any other questions?
How should Heilnatura supplements be stored?
To preserve the quality, stability, and efficacy of Heilnatura dietary supplements over time, store them in a cool, dry place away from light. Direct sunlight, high humidity, and temperatures above 25 °C can affect sensitive ingredients. Keep products in a cabinet or drawer away from heat sources such as radiators or sunny windows. Bathrooms are generally not suitable because of higher humidity.

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.
