Frequently asked questions

How is ANTIOX PRO taken?

We recommend taking 2 capsules a day with a glass of water, preferably with a meal containing healthy fats (olive oil, nuts, avocado). Astaxanthin and coenzyme Q10 are fat-soluble: their absorption improves significantly when taken with fatty foods. A single dose or one split between morning and midday works equally well.

What is astaxanthin and what is it for?

La astaxantina es un carotenoide rojo-anaranjado producido por la microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. Es uno de los antioxidantes liposolubles más estudiados: se acumula en las membranas celulares y actúa neutralizando especies reactivas de oxígeno. Los ensayos clínicos han documentado efectos sobre marcadores de daño oxidativo, fatiga ocular en pantallas y elasticidad de la piel a dosis 4-12 mg/día durante 8-12 semanas.

What is coenzyme Q10 for?

Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone) is an essential cofactor of the mitochondrial respiratory chain: it participates directly in ATP production. It also acts as a fat-soluble antioxidant. Endogenous Q10 levels tend to decline with age. It is one of the most studied fat-soluble antioxidants, particularly from the age of 50. If you are following any medical treatment, consult your healthcare professional before taking supplements.

When are the effects noticeable?

Cellular antioxidant effects are not noticeable acutely — they are cumulative and protective. Biochemical markers of oxidative damage may improve from 4–8 weeks of continued use. For subjective effects (energy, visual fatigue, skin elasticity), clinical trials typically detect improvements at 8–12 weeks.

Do I need to take antioxidants if I eat plenty of fruit and vegetables?

A diet rich in fruit, vegetables, extra virgin olive oil and nuts covers much of your baseline antioxidant needs. Supplementation makes sense in specific situations: high exposure to oxidative stress (intense exercise, urban pollution, high sun exposure), advanced age, restrictive diets, or particular interest in fat-soluble carotenoids such as astaxanthin, which are difficult to obtain from diet in meaningful amounts.

How long is it recommended to take it?

La astaxantina y la coenzima Q10 tienen perfiles de seguridad excelentes y pueden tomarse de forma continuada. Para uso prolongado (>6 meses) consulta con tu profesional sanitario, especialmente si tomas medicación anticoagulante (la Q10 puede interactuar con warfarina) o tiroidea. NO recomendado en embarazo o lactancia por falta de datos suficientes.
