About





            

                
Astaxanthin is a potent carotenoid antioxidant derived from microalgae (Haematococcus pluvialis). Its antioxidant capacity is reported to be 6,000 times stronger than vitamin C. Preliminary research suggests astaxanthin may support hair follicle health by reducing oxidative stress and inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase activity, though clinical hair-specific studies are limited.

            

        

        

        
        
        

            

  
How It Works





            

                
Potent antioxidant that crosses cell membranes; may inhibit 5-alpha-reductase; reduces NF-kB inflammatory signaling in follicular tissues.
