AstaBuckthorn keeps the formula intentionally focused. AstaReal® natural astaxanthin leads the antioxidant and evidence story, while sea buckthorn oil adds a complementary fatty-acid role to the broader everyday-resilience story.
Sourced from AstaReal®, part of Fuji Chemical Group in Japan, this natural astaxanthin comes from Haematococcus pluvialis. It is the formula’s primary antioxidant and evidence anchor, with ingredient-level human research across antioxidant, skin and visual-function contexts.

Sea buckthorn oil adds a complementary fatty-acid dimension to the formula. Its current supplier specification includes omega 7 alongside omegas 3, 6 and 9, giving it a distinct supporting role alongside astaxanthin.
