- Mechanism of Action
MicroActive technology is a delivery system. MicroActive Astaxanthin micronizes astaxanthin into smaller particles (10 microns), allowing for greater absorption in the small intestines. In addition, the special mix of polymers in MicroActive Astaxanthin slows the rate at which the astaxanthin is released, so more astaxanthin is absorbed over time.
