Overview
Astagen is a branded formulation of astaxanthin, a naturally occurring xanthophyll carotenoid known for its exceptionally high antioxidant capacity. Developed by Pharmaceutical General, it is marketed as a dietary supplement to combat oxidative stress and support various aspects of health, including ocular, dermatological, and cardiovascular functions. Astaxanthin's unique molecular structure allows it to span the cell membrane, providing protection against lipid peroxidation and neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) more effectively than many other antioxidants like vitamin E or beta-carotene.
