Dr. Mercola Organic Astaxanthin 4mg


When you take a supplement, you want to know that it’s doing something. While many antioxidant supplements talk about oxidative stress, Dr. Mercola Organic Astaxanthin helps support the body’s antioxidant defenses and protect against oxidative stress.* It’s a potent antioxidant that delivers meaningful antioxidant support.*




  • Oxidative stress: helps protect cells from oxidative stress caused by free radicals*


  • Brain: supports brain health, cognitive function, and mental focus*


  • Eyes: promotes eye health and visual comfort during everyday screen or activity demands*


  • Heart: supports cardiovascular health and healthy circulation*


  • Skin: helps maintain healthy, elastic skin*


  • Immunity: supports healthy immune function*


  • Joints: supports joint comfort and mobility after physical activity*


  • Cells: supports healthy aging and cellular health*


  • Energy: supports cellular energy production and overall vitality*


  • Inflammation: encourages a healthy inflammatory response*


Antioxidants are naturally found in healthy, nutritious foods, especially orange-colored sea animals like salmon, crab, and lobster. But sometimes our diet doesn’t supply enough antioxidants to help support the body’s natural antioxidant defenses against everyday oxidative stress.*


Astaxanthin supplements, an antioxidant related to beta-carotene and lutein, can fill in the gaps and help maintain your body’s antioxidant activity.* Dr. Joseph Mercola chose to formulate an antioxidant supplement with organic astaxanthin for two very important reasons:



  1. Astaxanthin can easily cross the blood-brain barrier and the blood-retinal barrier.*

  2. Astaxanthin acts as an antioxidant and helps neutralize free radicals*


Your brain and eyes require extra nutrients but are easily affected by toxins and oxidative stress. Few nutrients are able to pass through these barriers, which makes astaxanthin stand out.*


And it’s not just limited to one area — it provides broad antioxidant support throughout the body.* Some antioxidants are better suited for certain areas of the body. For example, beta-carotene is often used for eye health, while CoQ10 is commonly associated with heart and brain health.


 One of the most popular supplements for immune support is vitamin C. Astaxanthin is also recognized as a potent antioxidant that helps support the body’s defense against oxidative stress.* Check out these highlights:



  • provides potent antioxidant support*

  • offers strong antioxidant activity compared with many common antioxidants*

  • helps support antioxidant protection*

  • provides antioxidant support alongside other carotenoids*

  • offers antioxidant support for overall wellness*


Traditional astaxanthin supplements on the market are often synthetic. The natural astaxanthin in Dr. Mercola Organic Astaxanthin is taken from a microalgae grown in sterilized test tubes. To ensure its pure quality, it is not extracted from ponds or open sources of water. It is combined with organic olive oil for better absorption and to help promote your body’s antioxidant capacity.*

FAQs About Dr. Mercola Organic Astaxanthin 4mg Capsules

Q: Does this need to be taken with food? A: Yes. Take one capsule daily with a meal. Astaxanthin is fat-soluble, and this one already includes organic olive oil, so taking it with food makes sense.

Q: What does astaxanthin usually help with? A: Mostly antioxidant support. A lot of people take 4 mg a day for eye health, skin support, and general oxidative stress from exercise or everyday wear and tear.

Q: Why does this one use olive oil in the capsule? A: Because astaxanthin absorbs better with fat. This one uses organic olive oil and gives you 4 mg of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis extract.

Q: Is this vegetarian or vegan? A: No. The capsule uses fish gelatin, and it also contains fish from tilapia.

Q: I've heard astaxanthin is stronger than vitamin C. Is that true? A: Yes, astaxanthin is known as a very strong antioxidant. I wouldn’t use it instead of vitamin C, though. They do different things in the body.

Q: Should I worry about any medication interactions? A: Maybe. If you take any medications or have a medical condition, check with your doctor or pharmacist before starting it. The brand says to do that too.

Q: Can I take this if I'm pregnant or nursing? A: I’d wait until you’ve talked to your OB or midwife before starting this one. That’s the safest move with any new supplement during pregnancy or while nursing.
