The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other home health monitors: bathroom scales, blood pressure monitors, pregnancy and ovulation tests, thermometers, body composition monitors, stethoscopes, glucose monitors and pulse oximeters we track in this category on price, popularity and size.

Overview
Micro Ingredients sets this softgel at 24 mg of astaxanthin per serving, formulated with MCT oil, in a 60-count bottle sized for about two months at one softgel a day. The formula is unflavored, labeled gluten free, non-GMO and free of soy, and the maker markets it as a general health antioxidant supplement.
At 24 mg, this is one of the higher-dose astaxanthin softgels in this roundup, well above the more common 4 mg to 12 mg range seen across the category. Micro Ingredients also sells a lower-dose 12 mg version with MCT oil in a 120-count bottle, so shoppers weighing dose against bottle size have a related option from the same maker to compare.
As with any higher-dose supplement, it is worth talking to a healthcare professional before starting it, especially if you are new to astaxanthin or take other antioxidant supplements.

Frequently asked questions
Is 24 mg a high dose of astaxanthin?
Yes, it is toward the top of the dose range found in this category, where most products run from 4 mg to 12 mg per serving. Talk to a healthcare professional before starting a higher-dose product.
Why is MCT oil included in this formula?
MCT oil is a fat carrier the maker includes alongside the fat-soluble astaxanthin. It is a formulation ingredient rather than a separate supplement.
How long does a 60-count bottle last?
At one softgel a day, a bottle covers about two months before a reorder is needed.
