HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Astaxanthin 10mg by NasaBe'Ahava

Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.

From our pharmacy team — supplement deep dive

Generated from HelloPharmacist’s pharmacist-curated databases and editorial rules · Last generated Jul 11, 2026

What’s inside

Full disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Full

Every active ingredient lists its own amount on the label.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 1 active ingredient.
  • No proprietary blends here — you can verify the dose of every single component.

This softgel contains a single active ingredient: astaxanthin 10mg, a carotenoid (a natural pigment) sourced from algae. The inactive ingredients are gelatin (the capsule), glycerol, purified water, soybean oil, and natural tocopherols (vitamin E), which help preserve the oil-based formulation.

Does it work?

Not established
Evidence for Intended Use · database check
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed
Not established

The graded evidence we hold for these ingredients covers different conditions than the ones this product is marketed for, so there's no established rating for its stated use — see Astaxanthin's own graded uses on its monograph.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: Promotes eye, joint and skin health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Aging skin, Dry eye, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Osteoarthritis — and 4 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Astaxanthin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Astaxanthin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Aging skin, Dry eye, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Osteoarthritis, and more.

The evidence for astaxanthin's benefits isn't established in our data. We hold insufficient reliable evidence to rate its use for age-related cognitive decline, macular degeneration (AMD), aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, or carpal tunnel syndrome.

That doesn't mean it doesn't work — it means the studies we have aren't strong enough yet to draw firm conclusions.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Astaxanthin

How safe is it?

Well-documented data
Safety Information · database check
Well characterized

Adverse-effect, pregnancy, and general safety data are on file for most of these ingredients.

Why this rating?
  • We hold adverse-effect (side-effect) data for 1 of the 1 matched ingredient.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 1 of 1.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 1 of 1.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Astaxanthin is generally well tolerated in studies, though long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and a harmless reddish discoloration of stool.

At the 10mg dose in this product, these effects are uncommon; higher doses have occasionally caused more pronounced stomach pain. The safety data advise against astaxanthin during pregnancy and while breastfeeding because there isn't enough information to know whether it's safe.

Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or nursing.

Known Interaction Concern · database check
Moderate identified

The most serious documented interaction for these ingredients is Moderate. Check your medications for a personalized result.

Why this rating?
  • 1 of the 1 matched ingredient can interact with medications — Astaxanthin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • For scale: 672 individual medications appear in the full list. A big number alone doesn't make a product dangerous — what matters is whether YOUR medication is on it, so run yours through the interaction checker on this page.

Before taking this supplement, check whether you use any drugs metabolized by CYP3A4 or CYP2B6 enzymes — that's most of what your liver processes. Common types include statins, blood pressure medications, some immunosuppressants, certain antidepressants, and cancer drugs.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

Astaxanthin is a natural antioxidant from algae that interests people curious about aging and eye health, but the evidence for its benefits isn't yet solid. The real consideration here is medication interaction — if you take drugs your liver metabolizes, especially statins or immunosuppressants, you need to check with your pharmacist first.

Avoid it during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Astaxanthin 10mg by NasaBe'Ahava: Common Questions

Does Astaxanthin 10mg by NasaBe'Ahava interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Astaxanthin 10mg has a known interaction with 671 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Astaxanthin 10mg contains a single active ingredient, and that one ingredient can interact with many different medications on its own. We check it against each medication and show the mechanism responsible.
Where does this information come from?
The product label data comes from the NIH Dietary Supplement Label Database (DSLD); the interaction data is built on the Natural Medicines database and reviewed by HelloPharmacist pharmacists.
What is astaxanthin and where does it come from?
Astaxanthin is a natural pigment called a carotenoid, usually sourced from algae. It's what gives some seafood its pink color and is used in this supplement for its antioxidant properties.
Will astaxanthin help with wrinkles or eye health?
The evidence isn't strong enough yet to say for sure. We don't have reliable data backing astaxanthin for aging skin, macular degeneration, or other age-related conditions, even though people are interested in it for those uses.
What are the side effects?
Most people tolerate it well. The most common side effects are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stool — the stool discoloration is harmless. At 10mg, these are uncommon.
Can I take this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
No — there isn't enough safety data, so the guidance is to avoid it during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. Talk with your doctor or pharmacist before using it if you're in either situation.
Why do I need to check my medications before taking this?
Astaxanthin may speed up how your liver breaks down certain drugs, which could make them less effective. If you take blood pressure drugs, statins, or other medications your liver processes, your pharmacist needs to check whether this applies to you.
