Synergy
What is happening. Astaxanthin is fat-soluble and absorbs best with dietary fat. It also protects omega-3 fatty acids from oxidation.
Mechanism. Astaxanthin spans the cell membrane bilayer, quenching singlet oxygen and scavenging radicals. It protects PUFAs (DHA/EPA) from lipid peroxidation. Fat improves astaxanthin micellar solubilization.
Recommendation. Take together. Astaxanthin protects fish oil triple strength PUFAs from peroxidation while fish oil triple strength improves astaxanthin absorption.
