This supplement contains astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis, a red microalga that naturally produces this particular carotenoid. Per daily dose of two soft capsules, you get 8 mg of astaxanthin, supplemented with vitamin C and vitamin E. These three substances each work in their own way in your body but complement each other well. We tell you more below.
Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble carotenoid. This is the same group of substances that makes carrots orange and tomatoes red. But astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis has a different profile than beta-carotene or lycopene. The difference lies in how it behaves in your cell membranes. Astaxanthin lodges in the lipid layer of cells and intervenes there in oxidative chain reactions. In short: it scavenges free radicals precisely where they can cause the most damage. For this, LUTO uses AstaReal, a Swedish branded extract renowned for its consistent purity and concentration. This is not the same as a generic algae extract. AstaReal is cultivated in a controlled manner, making the amount of astaxanthin predictable per batch.
What many people don't know: not all antioxidants work in the same place. Astaxanthin and vitamin E are fat-soluble. They mainly protect the lipid-rich parts of your cells, such as membranes. Vitamin C, on the other hand, is water-soluble and acts in the watery part of your cells. This makes the combination logical, not because more is always better, but because they cover different compartments. There is an additional layer to this cooperation. Vitamin C contributes to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E. This means that vitamin C ensures that vitamin E remains active longer. Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. And vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. With astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis, they form a triple line in your body.
Astaxanthin is fat-soluble. If you take it as a dry powder in a regular capsule, your body absorbs less of it. This is where the soft capsule form comes in. Astaxanthin is dissolved in sunflower oil here, which supports absorption. You preferably take the soft capsules with a meal containing some fat, think of a drizzle of olive oil on your salad or half an avocado. This may seem like a detail, but for fat-soluble substances, it makes a noticeable difference. Moreover, the vitamin C in this formula also contributes to reducing fatigue and normal energy metabolism. These are pleasant side benefits for something you already take daily.
In clinical studies, doses of 4 to 20 mg of astaxanthin per day are used. Most studies work with 4 to 12 mg. With two soft capsules per day, you reach 8 mg of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis, which is in the middle of the studied range. If you prefer a lower dose, you can also start with one soft capsule per day. This provides 4 mg of astaxanthin, 60 mg of vitamin C, and 10 mg of vitamin E. The product is gluten-free, lactose-free, and GMO-free. Production takes place in Europe according to ISO 9001 and HACCP standards.
This formula has been deliberately kept compact. Not a long list of twenty ingredients, but three substances that together form a coherent whole. Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis as the core, vitamin E as a fat-soluble partner, and vitamin C as a water-soluble complement that also helps regenerate vitamin E. Simple, but thoughtful.
The astaxanthin in this product comes from AstaReal, a Swedish producer that cultivates the micro-algae Haematococcus pluvialis in a controlled manner. This ensures consistent purity and concentration per batch, unlike generic algae extracts whose quality can vary.
In clinical studies, doses from 4 to 12 mg are most commonly used. With two softgels per day, you reach 8 mg. If you want to start lower, a single softgel already provides 4 mg.
Astaxanthin and vitamin E are fat-soluble and act in your cell membranes. Vitamin C is water-soluble and acts in the aqueous part. In addition, vitamin C regenerates used vitamin E. No long list of ingredients, but three biochemically compatible substances.
Astaxanthin is fat-soluble. In a dry capsule, your body absorbs less. In these softgels, astaxanthin is already dissolved in sunflower oil, which promotes its bioavailability.

Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble carotenoid, the same group of substances that makes carrots orange and tomatoes red. It is extracted from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. In nature, it is responsible for the red color of salmon, krill, and flamingos. What makes astaxanthin special is that it lodges in the lipid layer of cell membranes and can scavenge free radicals there.
Because they act in different parts of your cells. Astaxanthin and vitamin E are fat-soluble and protect the lipid-rich parts of your cells, such as membranes. Vitamin C is water-soluble and acts in the aqueous part. In addition, vitamin C regenerates used vitamin E, keeping it active longer. Together, they therefore cover multiple compartments.
It is a red microalga that naturally produces astaxanthin. It is the most widely used and best-studied source for natural astaxanthin in supplements. LUTO Supplements uses AstaReal for this, a Swedish supplier that cultivates the algae in a controlled manner for consistent purity and concentration per batch.
In clinical studies, doses of 4 to 20 mg per day are used, with most studies working with 4 to 12 mg. With two softgels per day, you reach 8 mg, exactly in the middle of this range. If you want to start lower, you can also take one softgel per day. This provides 4 mg of astaxanthin, which is still within the studied range.

Natural astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis is extracted from cultivated microalgae. Synthetic astaxanthin is produced chemically and has a different molecular profile. In research, it is almost always the natural variant from algae that is used. This product contains AstaReal, a Swedish branded extract from controllably cultivated Haematococcus pluvialis.
