Brand: Jarrow Formulas Inc.

Question 1

Where does the astaxanthin come from?

Accepted Answer

From Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae — the natural algal source of astaxanthin, the red antioxidant pigment — using the branded AstaPure, suspended in safflower oil.

Question 2

Is it suitable for vegetarians?

Accepted Answer

No. Although the astaxanthin is algae-derived, the softgel shell uses bovine gelatin, so it is not vegetarian or vegan.

Question 3

What format is it?

Accepted Answer

A softgel at a high 12mg dose, taken once daily with a meal containing some fat to aid absorption.

Question 4

What does the IGEN certification mean?

Accepted Answer

IGEN is a non-GMO sourcing programme — it is not a banned-substance or purity test.
