Astaxanthin, a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment, is a powerful biological antioxidant. Astaxanthin exhibits strong free radical scavenging activity and protects against lipid peroxidation and oxidative damage of LDL-cholesterol, cell membranes, cells, and tissues. This product contains all-natural, functional nutrients that enhance canine health and nutrition, providing significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immune response benefits. Our Astaxanthin is derived from a unique strain of the micro-algae Haematococcus pluvialis.

Astaxanthin exhibits superior antioxidant properties to beta-carotene, vitamin C, and is a more effective antioxidant than vitamin E. Research has shown that natural astaxanthin has up to 550 times the antioxidant activity of vitamin E and 10 times the antioxidant activity of beta-carotene.

Astaxanthin in sled dogs:

Astaxanthin, a new "revolutionary" supplement, is used as an anti-stress agent for sled dogs. It minimizes weight loss and improves immunity due to crowding, extreme temperatures and other sudden environmental changes. Most importantly Astaxanthin plays a big role in the prevention of muscular dysfunction such as exertional rhabdomyolysis (also known as exertional myopathy or tying-up syndrome).
