Astaxanthin isn't just any antioxidant - it is really a SUPER antioxidant - hundreds of times as powerful as Vitamin E and thousands of times as powerful as Vitamin C. It is effective against a wide range of free radicals and unlike most other antioxidants can actually penetrate to the mitochondrial level of the cells as well as cross over into the brain and eyes to provide protection. Not only that it isn't oxidized like other antioxidants when quenching various types of free radicals due to it's unusual molecular structure. This means that it continues to be effective long after other antioxidants have become useless. It seems to be relatively safe although there have been some anecdotal reports of side effects.
