Why Acute Labs

Three things we refuse to compromise on

Most astaxanthin is under-dosed, synthetic or hard to absorb. Ours is built around what the research actually uses.

  • 12 mg

    The dose research uses

    Many astaxanthin supplements stop at 4–6 mg. Ours delivers 12 mg per softgel, an amount used in several published human studies.

  • Oil-based

    Built to absorb

    Astaxanthin is fat-soluble. It's suspended in an oil-filled softgel and taken with a meal, the way your body absorbs it best.

  • Natural

    From microalgae, not a lab

    Sourced from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae, the natural source of astaxanthin. Non-GMO, soy-free and gluten-free.

From the source

From microalgae to softgel

Salmon get their color from eating this alga. We skip the middleman and go straight to the source.

  1. Step 1

    Cultivated

    Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae are grown in fresh water until they turn a deep ruby red.

  2. Step 2

    Harvested

    At peak color the algae hold the most astaxanthin, and that's when they're collected.

  3. Step 3

    Suspended in oil

    Astaxanthin is fat-soluble, so it's sealed in an oil-filled softgel for better absorption.

  4. Step 4

    Tested

    Every batch is third-party tested for purity and potency before it ships.

See all FAQs
What is astaxanthin?

A red-orange carotenoid made by the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. It's what gives salmon, shrimp and flamingos their color, and it's one of the most potent antioxidants found in nature.

Why 12 mg?

12 mg a day is an amount used in several published human studies on skin and cognitive function. Many astaxanthin supplements provide 4–6 mg, so ours is roughly triple the common dose.

Is it natural or synthetic?

Natural. Our astaxanthin comes from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae. Most synthetic astaxanthin is made from petrochemicals for use in fish feed; algae-derived astaxanthin is the form used in most human studies.
