Frequently Asked Questions
Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that protects pet cells from free radical damage and slows down aging. In pet food, it is mainly used to prevent oil oxidation, improve coat shine and skin health, and support immunity and eye function.
Natural astaxanthin (such as that from Haematococcus pluvialis) has high bioactivity, good safety, and antioxidant capacity that is 2-3 times that of synthetic astaxanthin; synthetic astaxanthin is low in cost but has poor stability, may contain chemical residues, and has a low absorption rate in pets.
Supplementing senior pets with astaxanthin can reduce oxidative stress, prevent age-related diseases such as arthritis and tumors, while also enhancing cellular metabolic activity and slowing down the aging process.
Natural astaxanthin has been widely proven to be highly safe, but attention should be paid to the dosage (recommended 0.5-2 mg/kg daily) and source.
It can enhance hair pigment deposition, making the hair color more vibrant, while repairing the skin barrier, reducing inflammation and allergy symptoms, and relieving hair loss or eczema problems.
Astaxanthin supplementation is more suitable for senior pets, sporting dogs/cats (to accelerate muscle recovery), and pets with skin problems (such as hair loss or allergies).
