How to Use Axabio 4 mg Softgels

4 mg daily - intelligent maintenance

One 4 mg softgel per day is an excellent maintenance dose for everyday oxidative stress support. Ideal for skin vitality, general recovery, cognitive clarity and long-term antioxidant balance. Think of it as cellular hygiene in a capsule.

8 mg daily - functional support

For more targeted support, many studies use 6–12 mg per day, with 8 mg (2 softgels) being a commonly referenced functional dose. This can be relevant during periods of higher physical stress, intense training, recovery phases, or increased sun exposure.

We would advice not to exceed 8 mg daily unless advised by a healthcare professional.

Going on holiday?

Astaxanthin is valued for its ability to help protect skin cells from UV-induced oxidative stress and may support skin resilience from within.

If you’re traveling to sunny destinations, especially when doing sports where maintaining SPF can be challenging, increasing to 8 mg daily (2 softgels) for 2–4 weeks before and during your holiday can be a strategic choice.

⚠️ Important: Astaxanthin does not replace sunscreen. Always use appropriate SPF protection. Think of astaxanthin as internal support, not external protection.

What are the benefits of astaxanthin?

Astaxanthin provides exceptional protection against free radicals, highly reactive unstable molecules that cause cellular damage and contribute to premature aging and various health conditions.

Astaxanthin is known for its exceptional antioxidant capacity. It is significantly more potent than other well-known antioxidants:

• 6000 times stronger than Vitamin C
• 800 times stronger than CoQ10
• 550 times stronger than Vitamin E

Astaxanthin has demonstrated its effectiveness on:

• Skin Health: Astaxanthin has been shown to improve skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and protect against UV-induced damage, making it a popular ingredient in anti-aging skincare products.
• Eye Health: It supports eye health thus reducing eye fatigue and preventing damage caused by high-energy light exposure, such as blue light from screens.
• Muscle Recovery: Astaxanthin helps to reduce muscle inflammation and oxidative stress, promoting faster recovery after exercise and enhancing endurance.
• Immune System Support: By reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, astaxanthin boosts the immune system’s function, helping the body to fend off illnesses more effectively.
• Cardioprotective: Astaxanthin supports cardiovascular health by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, improving blood lipid profiles, and lowering the risk of atherosclerosis and other heart diseases.
• Anti-Cancer: Astaxanthin exhibits anti-cancer properties by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and inducing apoptosis. Its antioxidant capacity protects cells from DNA damage, interfering with cancer cell proliferation and metastasis.
• Diabesity (Diabetes and Obesity): Astaxanthin enhances insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism, crucial for controlling blood sugar levels in diabetes. It also reduces inflammation and oxidative stress associated with obesity, improving metabolic health.
• Liver Protection: Astaxanthin protects the liver from damage by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress. It improves liver function and reduces fat accumulation, maintaining overall liver health.
• Neuroprotective: Astaxanthin provides neuroprotection by crossing the blood-brain barrier and exerting antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in the brain. It reduces neuronal damage, improves cognitive function, and protects against neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
