Terranova Astaxanthin 4mg Complex with Magnifood

Terranova Astaxanthin 4mg Complex pairs natural astaxanthin with the brand's signature Magnifood blend of fresh, freeze-dried plant ingredients. It's a clean carotenoid formula from a brand that doesn't do filler, padding, or fairy-dust dosing.

Why astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is the deep red carotenoid found in algae, krill, and salmon. It's the pigment that turns flamingos pink and gives wild salmon its colour. It's also one of the most bioavailable carotenoid antioxidants studied to date, with a structure that lets it sit in the cell membrane and protect both water-soluble and fat-soluble compartments.

Terranova's version uses 4mg per capsule, sourced from Haematococcus pluvialis (the algae that produces astaxanthin in nature). That's a sensible everyday dose, not a label-theatre megadose that nobody actually needs.

What Magnifood adds

This is the bit that sets Terranova apart from a basic isolated capsule. Their Magnifood blend pairs the headline nutrient with fresh, freeze-dried plant material chosen to complement it. Whole-food cofactors rather than synthetic ones. It's how Terranova have built their entire range and one of the reasons we stock so much of the brand.

Who it suits

• Adults wanting a daily carotenoid antioxidant alongside their existing routine
• Active people who train hard and want clean antioxidant support
• Anyone in midlife building a sensible supplement stack for the long haul
• Shoppers who prefer plant-based, whole-food formulas over synthetic isolates

What's different about Terranova

No fillers, no binders, no coatings, no flow agents. The capsule is vegetable cellulose, the contents are astaxanthin plus the Magnifood plant blend, and that's it. Terranova have built their reputation on this clean-label approach and it shows in every product we carry from them. Have a look across the wider Terranova range if you want to see the full picture.

How to take it

One capsule daily with food. Astaxanthin is fat-soluble so taking it with a meal that contains some fat helps absorption. Most people use it as a steady, daily supplement rather than a short course.

It pairs well with omega-3 (krill oil naturally contains astaxanthin alongside its EPA and DHA), vitamin C, and a sensible multi. Browse the wider Vitamins and Minerals range if you're building out a daily routine.
