freshwater Astaxanthin
Born from sunlight and microalgae, astaxanthin is one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants shown to be 6,000x stronger than Vitamin C.
Known for the pigment that gives wild salmon their deep red color, it has been studied for its role in supporting cellular balance, stress, exercise recovery, eye and skin health.

The DO IT ALL Supplement
Astaxanthin helps defend skin cells from UV damage and oxidative stress, creating healthy skin from the inside out.
It can neutralize free radicals inside the mitochondria, supporting stronger + more efficient cellular energy production.
Astaxanthin supports muscle recovery by helping the body manage exercise-related oxidative stress.
It’s a rare, fat-soluble antioxidant studied for its ability to support brain health and mental clarity.
Astaxanthin supports retinal and eye health, especially in environments with increased blue-light exposure.
It supports the body’s natural inflammatory response, especially during physical or environmental stress.
Astaxanthin has been shown in clinical research to support cardiovascular health, with studies assessing oxidative stress and cholesterol.

Story behind the product
The more I learn about health, longevity, and disease, the more I’m directed back to the mitochondria. These little powerhouses in the cell called mitochondria are what powers every single energetic function in the body.
When I discovered astaxanthin, what stood out wasn’t just all the amazing health benefits, but how deeply it supports the mitochondria. Most people are living inflamed, depleted, and overstimulated, and what we really need are nutrients that strengthen us at the root, not quick fixes.
Astaxanthin has unique research that suggests it can reach the cell membrane itself. This is why it's so supportive of oxidative stress, energy production, endurance, recovery, skin health, and overall resilience all at once. We launched this product because astaxanthin provides us with a daily layer of support for the cells in a world that constantly wears us down.

- Founder
Every year, wild salmon swim hundreds of miles upstream, against powerful currents, without food, pushing their bodies to the edge. That endurance comes largely from astaxanthin, a compound they accumulate by eating zooplankton in the ocean.
Without astaxanthin, salmon would have white flesh. Instead, the astaxanthin stored in their muscle tissue turns them red, and more importantly, protects their muscles from oxidative stress and damage during the climb.
And it doesn’t stop there.
When salmon reach their spawning grounds, they transfer astaxanthin from their muscles into their eggs. That same pigment gives the eggs their deep red color and helps shield their DNA from ultraviolet exposure in shallow riverbeds, protecting the next generation before it even begins.
Long before supplements, studies, or marketing claims, nature already made its decision.
Astaxanthin was selected for strength, protection, and resilience.
The chart below shows just how powerful it is, especially when compared to other well-known antioxidants.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Astaxanthin does not contain any fish oil or EPA/DHA. It’s only associated with fish because it is a carotenoid antioxidant that gives wild caught salmon their reddish color.
-
Astaxanthin is best taken daily.
Regular use allows astaxanthin to be present in the body, where it has been studied for its role in supporting the body’s natural response to oxidative stress at the cellular level. Most people take it once per day with a meal that contains fat to support absorption.
-
Yes! They are 3rd party tested by an independent lab for molds, yeasts, bacteria, heavy metals, and more!

While most antioxidants act in one part of the cell, astaxanthin has been studied for its unique ability to span the cell membrane, supporting cellular resilience at both inside and outside the cell.
-
Any time of day works, preferably with food, ideally one that includes healthy fats due to it being a fat soluble compound.
-
Research suggests it supports the eyes’ natural response to daily oxidative stress and visual strain, making it a popular choice for people exposed to screens, bright light, and long workdays.
The result is greater visual resilience and comfort as part of a daily wellness routine.
-
Astaxanthin supports skin health from the inside out by helping the body manage oxidative stress associated with daily environmental exposure.
Its antioxidant activity has been studied for its role in supporting overall skin resilience, circulation, and a healthy-looking complexion. These factors contribute to skin that looks strong, hydrated, and vibrant over time.
-
Astaxanthin has been widely studied in humans and is commonly used as part of a daily wellness routine.
Human research has evaluated daily intakes of astaxanthin at amounts up to 12 mg. KONO’s astaxanthin is formulated for a powerful clinical dose and consistent daily use to support cellular health and the body’s natural response to oxidative stress over time.
