FAQ
- What is oxidative stress?
Oxidative stress is a natural process that occurs when the body produces more free radicals than it can neutralize with its antioxidant defenses. Free radicals are unstable molecules generated during normal metabolism and in response to everyday factors such as exercise, sunlight, pollution, and smoking. Over time, excessive oxidative stress can damage cells, proteins, and DNA, which is why antioxidants from the body's own defense systems and from foods and certain nutrients help protect cells and support overall health. - Who should consider taking an antioxidant supplement?
An antioxidant supplement may be a good option for adults looking to complement a healthy lifestyle with additional antioxidant support. While the body produces its own antioxidants and many are obtained through a balanced diet, some people choose to supplement their intake to help protect cells from oxidative stress and support overall cellular health. Dietary supplements are intended to complement—not replace—a nutrient-rich diet. - What makes Swanson Astaxanthin unique?
Swanson Astaxanthin delivers 4 mg of natural astaxanthin sourced from Haematococcus pluvialis, a microalgae recognized as one of nature's richest sources of this powerful carotenoid. This single-ingredient formula provides targeted antioxidant support to help protect cells from oxidative stress and support overall wellness, making it an easy addition to your daily routine. - Is Swanson Astaxanthin suitable for special diets?
Swanson Astaxanthin is made with non-GMO ingredients. It is not suitable for vegan or vegetarian lifestyles because the softgel contains gelatin, an animal-derived ingredient. This product is also not formulated or certified to be gluten-free, so individuals with gluten sensitivities should review the ingredient list before use.
