Jarrow Formulas Astaxanthin 12 mg

Overview

Jarrow Formulas packs 12 mg of astaxanthin into each of 60 softgels, sized as a 60 day supply for daily antioxidant use. The gluten free formula is also free of dairy, egg, fish, soy and wheat.

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid antioxidant, and Jarrow's 12 mg dose sits on the higher end of what's commonly sold for daily supplementation. The one softgel per day, 60 count bottle keeps dosing simple compared to products that require two or more softgels per serving. The marketed benefit here is immune and eye health support, though the extent of that support depends on individual use and diet.

• 12 mg astaxanthin per softgel
• 60 softgels, a 60 day supply
• Gluten free
• Free of dairy, egg, fish, soy and wheat

Who it's for

Fits people already using an antioxidant supplement routine who want a straightforward one softgel per day product. Less relevant for anyone who wants a lower starting dose or a combination formula with other antioxidants included.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

At 12 mg per softgel, this sits above the 4 to 6 mg range many general antioxidant blends use, so one softgel a day covers the full serving without needing multiples. The gelatin softgel format is standard for oil-soluble compounds like astaxanthin, which is fat soluble and typically taken with a meal containing some fat for absorption.
