Doctor’s Best – Astaxanthin with AstaPure
What is Doctor’s Best Astaxanthin?
Doctor’s Best Astaxanthin is an antioxidant that supports healthy blood flow and vessel integrity, promotes a healthy, integrated immune response, and supports memory and other brain functions. Astaxanthin also enhances vision and relieves eye fatigue. Astaxanthin has beneficial effects on cell membranes that manage important life functions. The body cannot make astaxanthin, it must be consumed either through diet or supplementation. Astaxanthin is made by algae and moves up the food chain when the algae are consumed as food. It gives the red color to seafood such as salmon, trout, crab, shrimp, lobster, and krill, but these sources of astaxanthin are not common in most diets. Doctor’s Best is pleased to offer this nutrient in its natural form, as a concentrate from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis.
How does it work?
The molecular structure of astaxanthin is long and thin, with both ends having “polar” groups that are compatible with water while the middle segment is “nonpolar” and not water-compatible. This molecular structure allows astaxanthin to move into cell membranes without substantially affecting the membrane structure, astaxanthin is able to provide potent protection against cell damage, like the damage caused by free radicals. All cells have membranes and it is vital to maintain the health of these membranes so that the cell may function properly. Every cell membrane is an ultrathin sheet of lipids into which enzymes and other catalytic proteins are inserted. Intense metabolic activities within cell membranes typically generate highly reactive “free radical” substances. The damage caused by these free radicals can be attenuated by antioxidant activity. Astaxanthin provides cell membranes with a potent antioxidant defense against free radicals.

It is a high quality supplement. It reduces my eyestrain which I had for a long time and finally I am starting to see an improvement. It also helps hydrate my skin. According to research, astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants. I will continue to take this supplement.

I take astaxanthin to keep my eyes healthy. It seems to work since I’m quite old and still don’t need to wear glasses most of the time. Most people my age are having eye problems and I want to avoid that.

An excellent supplement is astaxanthin, which is a catalyst for body metabolism. It is an antioxidant that improves the quality of life. I recommand it!

Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant, which is why I was taking it. I wanted to take advantage of its anti-aging benefits. I don’t take it regularly anymore, plus I’m trying to get pregnant and I don’t know what effects it would have on the pregnancy. I also took the Now Foods brand, but it’s hard to tell what the difference is. I think I got it because it was on sale. The one from Now Foods that I was taking contained 4mg per capsule, but this one contained 6mg and I was interested in trying a higher dose. I don’t know, maybe one day I’ll start taking astaxanthin again after my pregnancy is over. I would like it to have long term positive effects on my health. Like if this helps you.

Use 6mg gel caps. Have purchased other brands but realized you have to take 3 for the same added benefit of 1 of Doctor’s Best brand. These are WELL WORTH THE PRICE.

I started out using 2 mg and worked my way up to 6 mg, going slow to see how my body dealt with it. I found it gave my more energy which is important as I am in my mid 70’s. Very happy with it.

use this type of astaxanthin for the premenopause I am in. It also helps my eyes, my skin, especially before summer. Delays aging and the appearance of wrinkles… I start drinking it in May and I don’t stop it until September. There are no sun spots (if you tend to get them), you don’t get burned on the beach (that doesn’t mean you have to give up beach oil), you get a nice complexion . I take it with fatty vitamins – omega 3, coQ10, beta-carotene, lycopene, sea buckthorn oil and fatty foods. I recommand it!!!

carageenan IS NO GO — too bad such a good brand is using carageenan.

After reading about astaxanthin, then reading brand labels, I chose Dr’s Best. We buy that brand of many other supplenents anyway, cause of the higher quality. This one has what you want in this particular antioxidant.

It’s good for preparing your body for the sun, your body will be able to tan better with less sunburn, but it takes time. These should also be good for the eyes, but I’m still trying to figure it out

The king of antioxidants! And it’s a great formulation with high quality ingredients. Doctor’s Best has very high potency and efficacy, providing the best benefits of this necessary antioxidant. Helps with cellular structures throughout the body, including the eyes. I take it daily and I wouldn’t be without it!

I have been using Doctors Best Astaxanthin for a long time, and after ordering a new bottle a couple weeks ago I found the ingredients are NOT as listed on this website or on the other bottles that I have used. They have added modified food strarch and carrageenan, and I can no longer use this product. So disappointed!!!

have been taking Astaxanthin from AstaReal since 2019. I will say it helps with my tired eyes and floaters. I spend an average of 5 hours working with my laptop, so I need extra nutrients to protect my eyes. This product is still out of stock. When they have stock ready, I’ll buy more to keep.

The ingredients she cites are the capsule. This was always in a capsule how else can you swallow it? Not a useful review.
