HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Astaxanthin 12 mg by Bel-Air Nutrition Corp

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 12, 2026

What’s inside

Low disclosure
Ingredient Transparency · database check
Low

Most active ingredients don't disclose an individual amount — you can't tell how much of each you're getting.

Why this rating?
  • The label discloses an exact amount for 1 of its 3 active ingredients.
  • “Other Ingredients” is listed as a grouped ingredient — the label gives one combined amount (100 mg) without saying how much of each component you get.

This capsule contains 3 active ingredients. Astaxanthin is a carotenoid (a plant pigment) included for its antioxidant properties.

Tribulus terrestris extract, derived from a flowering plant, is traditionally used for sexual function and athletic performance. The product also contains a Proprietary Herbal Blend—we don't have the individual ingredients listed for that one.

There are no inactive fillers listed for this product.

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.

Why this rating?
  • The label markets this product for: powerful natural antioxidant promotes cellular health.
  • We looked for evidence on: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Aging skin, Exercise-induced muscle damage, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Antioxidant support, Inflammation support — and 1 related terms.
  • The closest evidence on file: Tribulus is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Exercise-induced muscle damage (Natural Medicines).
  • Also on file: Astaxanthin is rated "Insufficient Reliable Evidence To Rate" for Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Aging skin, Exercise-induced muscle soreness, Exercise-induced muscle damage.

The evidence for astaxanthin is thin: we hold insufficient data to rate it for age-related cognitive decline, macular degeneration, aging skin, Alzheimer disease, athletic performance, or carpal tunnel syndrome. Tribulus terrestris shows a different picture.

It's rated possibly effective for sexual dysfunction. For athletic performance, the evidence suggests it's possibly ineffective.

For benign prostatic hyperplasia (enlarged prostate), we don't have enough reliable evidence to rate it.

The evidence, ingredient by ingredient Astaxanthin Tribulus

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 2 of the 2 matched ingredients.
  • Pregnancy & breastfeeding safety ratings cover 2 of 2.
  • General safety write-ups exist for 2 of 2.
  • Remember: this measures how much safety information exists. Thin data is not the same as being safe.

Astaxanthin is generally well tolerated in studies, but long-term safety data are limited. The most common side effects are abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stools.

At higher doses (40 mg daily), severe stomach pain has been reported in a small number of people. Tribulus is often well tolerated short-term in healthy adults, though quality and long-term safety data are limited.

Common side effects include abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation—though one study found these rates similar to placebo. Rare serious effects including liver or kidney injury and seizures have been reported.

During pregnancy, tribulus may affect hormones and should be avoided; the safety data advises against it. There isn't enough data on tribulus during breastfeeding to know either way—talk with your doctor or pharmacist.

Astaxanthin also should be avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding due to insufficient safety information.

Side effects, ingredient by ingredient Astaxanthin Tribulus

Meds to double-check

Moderate interaction found
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?
  • 2 of the 2 matched ingredients can interact with medications — Tribulus, Astaxanthin.
  • The most serious interaction on file is rated Moderate.
  • Some involve high-stakes drug classes: diabetes medications; lithium.
  • For scale: 896 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.

Check these medication types before starting: blood pressure drugs and diabetes medications (both Moderate risk with tribulus), and lithium (Moderate risk of levels building up). Astaxanthin may theoretically lower blood levels of CYP3A4 and CYP2B6 substrates (Moderate for both), which includes many common prescriptions.

Your pharmacist can tell you if your drugs are affected.

The bottom line

Scorecard at a glanceFormula with limited ingredient disclosure with no established evidence rating for its marketed use. Moderate medication interactions have been identified, and safety information is well characterized.

This product is for someone interested in astaxanthin's antioxidant properties and tribulus for sexual function, who is not on blood pressure, diabetes, or lithium medications. If you take any prescription drug metabolized by your liver, or have hormonal sensitivities, check with your pharmacist first.

Astaxanthin 12 mg by Bel-Air Nutrition Corp: Common Questions

Does Astaxanthin 12 mg by Bel-Air Nutrition Corp interact with any medications?
Yes. Based on its ingredients, Astaxanthin 12 mg has a known interaction with 895 medications. Use the checker to see how it interacts with a specific drug.
How can one product interact with so many drugs?
Astaxanthin 12 mg contains 3 active ingredients, and an interaction can come from any of them. We check every ingredient, combine the results into one list per medication, and show which ingredient and mechanism is 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.
Can I take this if I'm on blood pressure or diabetes medication?
Not without checking first. Tribulus terrestris in this product may increase the risk of dangerously low blood pressure if you're on blood pressure drugs, and increase the risk of low blood sugar if you're on diabetes medication. Talk to your pharmacist before starting—they can look at your specific drugs.
Is astaxanthin safe during pregnancy?
No. There isn't enough safety data on astaxanthin during pregnancy, so it's best to avoid it. The same goes for the tribulus terrestris in this product—tribulus may affect hormones and safety is not established.
What are the most common side effects?
Astaxanthin most often causes abdominal pain, diarrhea, and red-colored stools. Tribulus can cause abdominal pain, cramping, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and constipation, though one study found these rates similar to placebo.
Does this product actually work for sexual dysfunction?
Tribulus terrestris is rated possibly effective for sexual dysfunction based on available evidence. Astaxanthin doesn't have enough reliable evidence to rate for any of the conditions we have data on.
Why can't you check interactions for the Proprietary Herbal Blend?
Because the individual ingredients in that blend aren't listed on the label—it's just called a Proprietary Herbal Blend. We can't look up what we don't know is in the product. If you want to know what's actually in that blend, contact the manufacturer.
