Overview
Sports Research Icelandic Astaxanthin softgels deliver 6mg of astaxanthin, sourced as Icelandic AstaLif, suspended in organic coconut oil in a 120-count antioxidant formula.
Astaxanthin is fat soluble, so it needs an oil carrier inside the softgel, and this formula uses organic coconut oil rather than the soybean oil common in other astaxanthin products, which also keeps it soy free. The Icelandic AstaLif designation refers to the specific astaxanthin source used. It's a single-ingredient formula with no other antioxidants blended in.
- 6mg Icelandic astaxanthin
- Organic coconut oil base
- 120 softgels
- Soy free, gluten free, non-GMO
Who it's for
Fits people who want astaxanthin carried in coconut oil rather than a soy or seed oil base. Not the pick for anyone looking for a higher dose than 6mg per softgel.
