Analysis

Swanson Astaxanthin 12 mg Maximum Strength provides a powerful 12mg dose of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis. This high potency is ideal for comprehensive antioxidant and anti-inflammatory support across various health goals, including skin, vision, heart, and joint health. As a product from Swanson, it comes from a well-known and generally trusted brand. However, at 77 cents per serving, it's significantly more expensive than other 12mg astaxanthin products available from competitors, which impacts its value proposition, despite the quality of the dose.

  • From Swanson, a reputable brand in the supplement industry.
  • Convenient softgel form for easy consumption.
Cons
  • High price per serving (77 cents) compared to other 12mg astaxanthin products available on the market.
  • Offers less competitive value than alternatives with similar or higher potency.
