Description
Usage & Directions
Take 10 ml daily, neat or in liquid (e.g. juice or water). Optimal temperature between +2 and +21 °C – briefly the product also withstands more extreme temperatures. After opening, store in the fridge and use within 6 weeks. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of young children.
Dosage and intake of liposomal astaxanthin
10 ml provide 8 mg astaxanthin, 5 mg vitamin E (42 % of the nutrient reference value) and 1 mg vitamin B2 (71 %). One 250 ml bottle lasts for 25 daily doses. You can take liposomal astaxanthin neat or stir it into water or juice; the time of day is up to you. Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.
How does it work?
LIPOSOMAL explained in 3 steps.
- 1EncapsulationOur LipoSone® technology packs the active into tiny, spherical liposomes made of phospholipids.
- 2ProtectionThe liposomes envelop the active and protect it from stomach acid and digestive enzymes.
- 3AbsorptionThis way it reaches the bloodstream far more efficiently – for higher bioavailability.
What is liposomal astaxanthin?
Liposomal astaxanthin is astaxanthin packed into liposomes. Liposomes are microscopically small vesicles made of phospholipids – the same building blocks that make up the membranes of your body's cells. This shell protects the astaxanthin on its way through the stomach and gut.
Astaxanthin is a red carotenoid found mainly in microalgae. It is fat-soluble, so absorption from conventional capsules depends heavily on whether you take it together with fat. This is exactly where the liposomal form comes in. More about liposomes →
Liposomal astaxanthin vs. astaxanthin capsules: the difference
In capsules, astaxanthin is usually dissolved in oil. In AstaxaVit it is embedded in liposomes made of sunflower lecithin and dispersed in liquid. You take it by the spoonful, independently of meals.
There is no dedicated absorption study for this product. We have investigated the liposomal technology behind it for other active ingredients in our own studies. See our studies →
Ingredients
Water, glycerin, emulsifier: lecithin (from sunflowers), hematococcus extract, mixed tocopherols, acidifier: malic acid, antioxidant: rosemary extract, riboflavin.
Ingredients of AstaxaVit Liposomal 8: what's inside and why
- Haematococcus pluvialis extract (80 mg per daily dose): comes from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis and provides 8 mg natural astaxanthin.

Good to know
At ActiNovo we are fascinated by the potential of natural actives as much as by modern technology. So we combine both into highly effective liposomal supplements – without unnecessary additives.
Effects of astaxanthin: what we are allowed to say
Many effects are attributed to astaxanthin, and our customers take it for very different reasons. However, no health claim is authorised for astaxanthin in the EU, so we are not allowed to make any statements about its effects. We recommend that you consult independent sources for information about astaxanthin. Here is what we are allowed to tell you: astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid from microalgae and gives salmon and prawns, for example, their reddish colour. The vitamins E and B2 it contains contribute:
- to the protection of cells from oxidative stress (vitamin E and vitamin B2)
- to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue (vitamin B2)
- to the maintenance of normal skin (vitamin B2)
- to the maintenance of normal vision (vitamin B2)
- to normal energy-yielding metabolism (vitamin B2)
- to normal functioning of the nervous system (vitamin B2)
Liposomal astaxanthin provides the same natural astaxanthin as other products – the difference lies in the dosage form.

Quality & Trust
Every batch is lab-tested for purity and quality. With the LOT number on the cap you can access the formulation and the lab report of your individual bottle.
Quality: every batch of liposomal astaxanthin is lab-tested
AstaxaVit is developed and bottled in Hamburg. Every batch is independently tested for purity and content before it goes on sale. You can find the test report for your bottle via the LOT number on the cap.
Frequently asked questions about liposomal astaxanthin
Where does the astaxanthin in AstaxaVit come from?
From the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. AstaxaVit contains 80 mg Haematococcus pluvialis extract per daily dose, of which 8 mg is natural astaxanthin. The product is vegan.
Liquid liposomal astaxanthin or capsules: what is the difference?
Liposomes are tiny vesicles made of phospholipids that are stable in liquid. That is why we offer liposomal astaxanthin as a liquid. You take it by the spoonful or stir it into a drink.
How much astaxanthin per day makes sense?
The recommended intake is 10 ml per day. That is about 2 teaspoons and 8 mg astaxanthin. One 250 ml bottle lasts 25 days. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
Does liposomal astaxanthin have to be kept in the fridge?
After opening, yes: the bottle then belongs in the fridge and should be used up within 6 weeks. Unopened, it is best stored between +2 and +21 °C.
Why does AstaxaVit contain vitamin E and vitamin B2?
Both vitamins contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Vitamin B2 also contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
When and how do I take liposomal astaxanthin?
You can take the 10 ml neat or stir them into water or juice. The time of day is up to you.
Is liposomal astaxanthin suitable for children?
Yes, AstaxaVit is also suitable for children, but at a reduced dose: 2.5 ml per day for children aged 1 to 4, 5 ml for ages 5 to 8 and 7.5 ml for ages 9 to 12. For children aged 4 and over there is also our dedicated All-in-One for kids.
Does liposomal astaxanthin have side effects, and who should not take it?
AstaxaVit is designed to be well tolerated. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition or take medication regularly, consult a doctor before taking it.
Significantly optimised absorption
In independent studies we have demonstrated a manifold higher bioavailability for numerous actives – e.g. magnesium 5×, vitamin C 12× or curcumin 47×. Thanks to the protected liposomal encapsulation, a significantly optimised absorption can be assumed for this product too.
See our studies →If it makes no real difference, we do not sell it.
That is why every ActiNovo product uses our liposomal LipoSone® technology – for over 10 years, for more and more actives, proven in 9 of our own studies. What you find here has earned its place.
