Skin health
The challenge
UV light, pollution and stress can all accelerate oxidative damage to skin cells, leading to premature ageing, dullness and loss of elasticity – even before we notice it’s happening.
How Astaxanthin helps
Astaxanthin is one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants. We’ve combined it with vitamin C to support collagen formation and help neutralise free radicals that drive skin ageing. Together, they provide daily protection for a healthier, more radiant complexion.
Eyes
The challenge
Long hours staring at screens and exposure to artificial light can strain the eyes, leaving them dry and tired as oxidative stress builds in delicate eye tissues.
How Astaxanthin helps
Astaxanthin helps protect eye cells from light-induced oxidative damage – helpful when screens are hard to avoid.
Brain health
The challenge
Oxidative stress doesn’t just affect the skin – it can also impact brain cells over time, especially as we age or handle stress.
How Astaxanthin helps
Astaxanthin is able to cross the blood-brain barrier and helps protect brain cells from oxidative stress, supporting your long-term brain health.
"I love Astaxanthin - we've combined it with vitamin C to make a potent antioxidant product that helps fight free radicals everywhere around us. It also can help to protect our skin from premature ageing. If skin support is one of your goals, astaxanthin is the nutrient for you.”
Ingredient highlight
Astaxanthin is one of nature's most powerful antioxidants – 6,000 times stronger than vitamin C. Found naturally in freshwater microalgae, astaxanthin is eaten by shrimps, crabs, salmon and even flamingoes, and its deep red pigment is what gives them all their pink colouring.
Known as the 'king of the carotenoids', it has unrivalled power to help prevent and reduce oxidative stress, with many benefits for your health, from skin and muscles to brain and eye health, nervous system and energy capacity.
AstaPure® Astaxanthin is a sustainably sourced formulation harvested from natural microalgae grown outdoors using solar energy and water recycling. In just one daily vegan-friendly 7mg dose, you gain the same amount of astaxanthin as you'd get from eating about 300 grams of salmon.

Who is Astaxanthin for?
Astaxanthin is ideal for anyone looking to support their skin health, eye comfort and brain health, particularly if you spend time in the sun, use screens a lot, or are simply looking for extra daily antioxidant protection.
Do I need to take it daily to feel the benefits?
Yes. Astaxanthin works best if taken consistently, so that antioxidant protection can build up for ongoing cellular health support.
When should I take Astaxanthin?
Take one capsule daily with a meal, ideally one that contains healthy fats, to support optimal absorption.
Is Astaxanthin suitable for long-term use?
You may start to feel more balanced energy levels within a few weeks, with more noticeable benefits building over 1-3 months. The healthy ageing benefits build quietly in the background, as you invest in your long-term health.

Yes. Astaxanthin pairs well with many GP Nutrition supplements, including those for skin, energy and overall wellbeing. If you’d like personalised advice, our customer care team is happy to help on 0808 502 0505, Monday to Saturday, 9am-5pm.
