Overview

Life Extension's astaxanthin softgels combine algae-derived astaxanthin with a sunflower phospholipid blend meant to improve absorption, in a 30-softgel bottle sized for about a month.

The phospholipid addition is the distinguishing detail here: sunflower phospholipids are included specifically to help the fat-soluble astaxanthin absorb, a different approach from simply pairing it with a plain carrier oil. At 30 softgels the bottle is sized for roughly a month rather than the two-month sizing seen elsewhere in this category. The listing frames the antioxidant around eye health in particular.

  • Astaxanthin with sunflower phospholipid blend
  • 30 softgels per bottle
  • Algae-derived, non-GMO source
  • Model 01923

Who it's for

Suits a buyer who wants an established supplement brand and is comfortable with a smaller, monthly-sized bottle rather than bulk sizing. Less suited to someone shopping purely on cost per softgel, since 30-count bottles tend to run higher per dose than larger bottles.
