Key Benefits
For EU regulatory compliance, this product should primarily be described by its composition rather than making unsupported health claims for astaxanthin.
- Provides 4mg astaxanthin per daily capsule
- Astaxanthin is obtained from Haematococcus pluvialis algae
- Combines astaxanthin with 300mg of wholefood and botanical ingredients
- Includes 3mg alpha lipoic acid
- Provides fresh freeze-dried kale, sea buckthorn and spirulina

Astaxanthin does not currently have an authorised EU health claim permitting claims such as protecting cells from oxidative stress, supporting eye health, improving skin health or supporting cardiovascular health. These benefits should therefore not be presented as established effects of this food supplement.

FAQs
1. What is Terranova Astaxanthin 4mg Complex?
Terranova Astaxanthin 4mg Complex is a vegan food supplement providing 4mg of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis algae in each capsule. Unlike a basic single-ingredient astaxanthin product, it combines astaxanthin with Terranova's 300mg Magnifood Complex containing stabilised rice bran, fresh freeze-dried kale, sea buckthorn and spirulina. Each capsule also provides 3mg alpha lipoic acid. It is designed for adults and is taken once daily with food.
2. How much astaxanthin is in each Terranova capsule?
Each vegetarian capsule provides 4mg of astaxanthin. This makes the daily serving straightforward because the manufacturer's recommended intake is one capsule per day. Astaxanthin does not currently have an established Nutrient Reference Value, so a %NRV is not provided. It is also important to distinguish the amount of astaxanthin from the 300mg Magnifood Complex, which consists of the accompanying wholefood and botanical ingredients.
3. Where does the astaxanthin in Terranova Astaxanthin Complex come from?
Terranova obtains the astaxanthin in this formula from Haematococcus pluvialis algae. This microalgae is a natural source of the carotenoid astaxanthin. Each capsule provides 4mg alongside Terranova's Magnifood Complex. The algae source also allows the overall formulation to remain suitable for vegetarian and vegan diets rather than relying on astaxanthin obtained from fish or other marine animal ingredients.
4. Is Terranova Astaxanthin suitable for vegans?
Yes. Terranova Astaxanthin 4mg Complex is suitable for both vegetarians and vegans. The astaxanthin is derived from Haematococcus pluvialis algae, and the capsule shell is vegetarian. Terranova also states that the formula contains no gelatine or animal ingredients. This makes it an option for adults seeking an astaxanthin supplement while following a plant-based diet.
5. What is in the Magnifood Complex?
Each capsule contains 300mg of Terranova's Magnifood Complex. This consists of 100mg stabilised rice bran, 100mg organic fresh freeze-dried kale, 50mg fresh freeze-dried sea buckthorn berry and leaf, and 50mg organic fresh freeze-dried spirulina. These ingredients accompany the 4mg astaxanthin and 3mg alpha lipoic acid in the finished formulation.
6. Does Terranova Astaxanthin contain alpha lipoic acid?
Yes. Each capsule provides 3mg of alpha lipoic acid in addition to 4mg of astaxanthin. Alpha lipoic acid does not have an authorised EU health claim that would justify making specific physiological benefit claims for the amount present in this supplement. For this reason, it is most appropriate to communicate its presence and quantity factually rather than attributing unsupported health effects to it.
7. Is Terranova Astaxanthin an antioxidant supplement?
Astaxanthin is commonly described scientifically as a carotenoid with antioxidant properties. However, there is an important distinction between describing the substance and making a health claim for a food supplement. There is currently no authorised EU health claim allowing this product to state that astaxanthin protects the body's cells from oxidative stress. For Lir Pharmacy, the compliant approach is therefore to state that the product provides 4mg astaxanthin rather than promising antioxidant protection.
8. Does astaxanthin support eye or skin health?
Astaxanthin supplements are frequently marketed online for eye and skin health. However, those marketing associations should not be confused with authorised EU health claims. There is currently no authorised EU health claim permitting Lir Pharmacy to state that astaxanthin maintains normal vision, improves skin health or protects the skin. The compliant product description therefore focuses on the 4mg astaxanthin content, its algae source and Terranova's accompanying Magnifood ingredients.
9. How do I take Terranova Astaxanthin 4mg Complex?
Terranova recommends that adults take one capsule daily with food. Swallow the capsule with water and do not exceed the stated dose unless an appropriate healthcare practitioner advises otherwise. Taking it with food follows the manufacturer's directions. A 50-capsule pack therefore provides up to a 50-day supply when used at the recommended one-capsule daily intake.
10. Does Terranova Astaxanthin contain gluten, dairy or soya?
Terranova states that this formula contains no wheat, gluten, corn, soya, yeast, dairy, gelatine or animal ingredients. It is also made without added sugar, artificial colours, flavours or preservatives. Terranova additionally states that there are no fillers, binders or other excipients. Anyone with a diagnosed allergy should still check the current physical packaging before taking the product because ingredient and manufacturing information can change.
11. Can I take Terranova Astaxanthin during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Terranova does not recommend the product during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless its use has been advised by a healthcare practitioner. Pregnancy and breastfeeding are periods when supplements should be selected according to specific nutritional requirements rather than assumed to be appropriate because they contain naturally derived ingredients. If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding, ask your pharmacist, GP or other appropriate healthcare professional before using this supplement.
12. Can Terranova Astaxanthin be taken with medication?
Terranova advises people taking prescribed medication to consult a physician before using this product. This is sensible because the formulation contains astaxanthin, alpha lipoic acid and concentrated botanical ingredients. Your pharmacist can also review your medicines and other supplements for potential duplication or interactions. Do not stop or alter prescribed medication in order to take a food supplement.
