Vitamin World Astaxanthin 5 mg is a 'Non-Nutrient/Non-Botanical' supplement, providing 5 mg of Astaxanthin per softgel. This product received an N+ Score of 45, resulting in an 'F' grade, indicating a below-average quality assessment. Astaxanthin is a potent antioxidant, and while 5 mg is a common dosage for general antioxidant support, some research suggests higher doses (e.g., 6-12 mg) may be used for more targeted benefits. The product's low score is attributed to its single ingredient focus without additional synergistic compounds or advanced delivery systems. It may be considered by individuals looking for a basic astaxanthin supplement, but its overall formulation quality is rated as below average.
