Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid with a unique structure that is known to be a potent free radical scavenger. Because Astaxanthin freely crosses the blood-brain and blood-retina barriers, it can neutralize free radicals in the eye and central nervous system. Scientific studies also demonstrate that Astaxanthin can support the body’s healthy and balanced immune system responses. This NOW product features Zanthin®, a patented source of this powerful nutrient.
