How should I take astaxanthin?
The recommended daily dose is 2 capsules (= 8 mg astaxanthin) and should ideally be taken with a meal containing some fat, as this fat-soluble carotenoid is best absorbed this way. You can take both capsules together in the morning – or split them between two meals if you have a sensitive stomach.
One amber glass bottle contains 80 capsules; at the recommended dosage, it lasts for 40 days. To build up antioxidant protection at the cellular level, a course of at least 4–6 weeks is recommended; many users take astaxanthin continuously.
