What the research on astaxanthin shows

Blood flow
Saito et al. — randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial

12 mg/day of astaxanthin over 4 weeks was associated with increased blood-flow velocity (p = 0.018).

Blood rheology
Iwabayashi et al.

Over 10 days at 6 mg/day, whole-blood transit time grew faster — a measure of how easily blood moves through the smallest vessels (p < 0.01).

Oxidative stress
Ma et al. — meta-analysis of RCTs

Across randomized controlled trials, astaxanthin reduced MDA, a primary marker of oxidative stress.

Why circulation

It's about flow.

As we age, oxidative stress puts pressure on the delicate lining inside our blood vessels — the system that keeps blood moving the way it used to. Astaxanthin is one of nature's most powerful antioxidants, and it's uniquely built to support that system from the inside out.*

01

Fights oxidative stress

Astaxanthin helps neutralize the free radicals that build up against your cells over time.*

02

Supports the vessel lining

It works on both the watery and fatty sides of the cell membrane — something most antioxidants can't do.*

03

Supports healthy circulation

The result studied in research: support for healthy blood flow and cardiovascular health.*

The molecule

What lets a wild salmon swim 2,000 miles upstream?

The answer is astaxanthin — the deep-red pigment that fuels the most extraordinary endurance in nature, concentrated from the microalgae salmon feed on. It's the same molecule NASA has studied for protecting astronauts, and the one Japanese researchers have studied for decades.

CortexMD sources its astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis — the exact microalgae used in published human research — at the full 12 mg dose.

The dose
12 mg — the studied dose, in every softgel

The 12 mg in each CortexMD capsule matches the dose used in the human research above. Not marketing math — the studied number.

The difference

Why CortexMD, not the bottle next to it.

This isn't another mystery-blend pill from a late-night ad. It's a single, studied molecule — delivered the way the research did.

01

Full 12 mg research dose

The exact dose used in published human studies — no fractional, under-dosed servings.

02

Hawaiian Haematococcus pluvialis

The richest natural source of astaxanthin, and the form used in the research.

03

One studied molecule

No proprietary blends, no filler ingredients you can't pronounce. Just astaxanthin.

04

Oil-based softgel

Astaxanthin is fat-soluble — an oil softgel supports better absorption than dry powder.

What to expect

Give it the full window.

Astaxanthin works gradually. In the research, effects were measured over several weeks — so take it daily and give your body the time the studies did.

  • Take one softgel a day, with a meal that contains some fat.
  • Most people take it consistently for 2–4 weeks before noticing a difference.
  • Consistency matters more than dose-stacking — one a day, every day.
  • Pairs well with the basics: movement, sleep, and a whole-food diet.
90Days

Try it for 90 days. The risk is ours.

If you're not completely satisfied, return the product within 90 days of delivery for a full refund — even if the bottle is opened. No hassle, no questions asked. We take on the risk so you don't have to.
