Higher Nature Astaxanthin is a single-ingredient supplement providing 4 mg of pure Astaxanthin per capsule. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid commonly researched for its antioxidant properties and potential to support cellular health. This product received an N+ Score of 45, earning an F grade, placing it in the below-average tier. The 4 mg dosage of Astaxanthin is considered underdosed, as many clinical studies investigating its potential benefits often utilize dosages ranging from 6 mg to 12 mg or higher.
