In contrast, excessive light can cause photoinhibition by overexciting the photosynthetic apparatus, producing ROS, and the damaging photosystem (PSII), ultimately decreasing photosynthetic efficiency- (Walters, 2005)
(2011) 17 independently demonstrated that N-acetylcysteine amide (NACA) remarkably protected retinal pigmented epithelium (RPE) and photoreceptors against oxidative cell damage and death, in vitro (ARPE-19 cell culture treated with tBHP) and in vivo (light damage mouse model)

At 12mg per serving, Astaxanthin+ reaches the upper end of the dosing range used across human studies investigating skin health, exercise recovery, visual performance, cognition, and sleep quality.1 2 3 4 7 8 9 In other words, it isn't just a high dose on paper it closely mirrors the amounts researchers have used to study some of astaxanthin's most promising benefits
It helps support antioxidant recycling, cellular protection, and normal liver detoxification physiology
