In the Supplement Facts, is the Astaxanthin a regular or an esterified Astaxanthin? The label didn't say "Esterified" so just wondering.

I really can't answer the question; but I know who can. Call NUTRIGOLD CUSTOMER SERVICE AT 1 800 476 3542. I can tell you that I have been taking 1000mg of this krill for a few months now and the results on my cholesterol numbers are GREAT for the first and second tests in years. JANNZ

I'm not sure what Esterified is but, I do know that Astaxanthin performs as a natural ingredient.

There is no astaxanthin. The fact that the company refuses to list the amount "because they are not required to do so by law" shows that the product contains no astaxanthin and th company has no concern for consumers. They should be ashamed of themselves.

The Life Extension Super Zeaxanthin I use does not contain astaxanthin although they make one that contains it. Not everyone likes or wants or is compatible with astaxanthin. If it's a Life Extension product, go on line and ask them....LEF.comNew and improved is not always "better".

The supplemental facts are different. The new bottle just says spirulina whole algae 1000 mg.The ingredients are itemized on the old bottle. Also the bottle only shows to have 500 mg on the front label. I'm not sure what I have now.

2.2 mg All of Life Extension's labels are on their site. Here is the link for this one: http://www.lef.org/Vitamins-Supplements/Item01686/Super-Zeaxanthin-with-Lutein-Meso-Zeaxanthin-Plus-Astaxanthin-and-C3G.html?source=search&key=super%20Zeaxanthin%20with%20Lutein

Yes, it is very easy to swallow, capsule size is normal, and I don't feel any taste or aftertaste. The supplement facts shows astaxanthin 1.6 mg. I think it does.

What you likely have there is a synthetic form of astaxanthin which is made from petrochemicals and commonly given to farm-raised fish. Wild salmon eat natural astaxanthin, but farm-raised salmon are fed the synthetic astaxanthin to turn their flesh red-orange so that they will look like salmon caught in the wild. This is why many people refuse to eat farm-raised salmon, but will only eat salmon caught in the wild. Though having the same exact chemical formula, the synthetic astaxanthin molecule has a different shape, and no one knows how well it interacts with the other molecules in the body. All the studies showing how astaxanthin benefits the body have been done with natural astaxanthin, and I believe the synthetic form has not been formally granted GRAS status (generally recognized as safe) by the FDA. Prelimiary studies indicate that the synthetic form does not perform nearly as well. Since there is a huge demand for natural astaxanthin and a tight supply, companies from places like China are attempting to flood the market with synthetic astaxanthin. Always be sure that the label says "natural astaxanthin" not merely "astaxanthin" on the label. And don't accept any other wording, such as "nature-identical," or you'll be getting the synthetic kind. It should also be astaxanthin derived from a microalgae identified as Haematococcus pluvialis. There is a reason that the BioAstin brand has about 50% of the retail astaxanthin market. Its astaxanthin is growth naturally on the Big Island in Hawaii, from that Haematococcus pluvialis strain of microalgae.

I sometimes purchase this at Wholefoods and the supplement personnel told me that it used to contain Titanium Dioxide but no longer does. I wish Spry would make an announcement somehow to say yay or nay because this is annoying. I can say this, it is NOT on the list of ingredients.

I purchased this recently got the shipment yesterday. The manufacturer is Vitax, inc- it is manufactured in Irvine, California. The shipment takes a while but the pricing is good for 12 mg astaxanthin in 1 capsule

The product label lists lyophilized sheep placenta plus fish collagen. The product is a nutritional supplement. What nutritional supplement do you know that "has FDA?" Do you use vitamin supplements or herbal supplements? If, yes, can you find any such supplement that indicates on the label that it "has FDA?"

Sometimes sellers put that description in and sometimes not. Sometimes they lie, sometimes not. There are organic organizations you can track down via google to get a brand's rating. Also, contact the seller/manufacture. I was, a long time ago, the creative director of an ad agency representing a national vitamin brand. I asked the account executive what was the difference between their inorganic brand and the organic variety. He said 'no difference'. I feel there's alota lying in advertising today. Go google and get a variety of endorsements. Good Luck! rclarknv

I expanded the label here and besides other information it says its from extremely clean sea water. If you click where it says to expand the small labels eill become enlarged too sobyou can read other details. Our garden seems to be growing well and we wanted to increase mineral contents. John on growingyourgreens.com uses it. Hes also on youtube. Sorry for any typos

6 mg However, I must caution you that Life extension makes too many different formulas that look almost the same. Make sure that the one you buy actually says Astaxanthin on the front and back labels.
