The new sustainable supplement brand is a powerhouse of the antioxidant Astaxanthin

We all know that topical skincare can work wonders, but there is a reason leading dermatologists also state that you need to consider what you put inside your body if you want glowing skin. Good news for us the NEW sustainable gummy supplement brand Manifesto is a powerhouse of prebiotics and antioxidants and a key ingredient you may not have yet heard of…

Enter, Astaxanthin

Your skin’s new best friend, astaxanthin is a member of the carotenoid family and a potent antioxidant that is derived from the microalgae that gives pink flamingos, salmon and lobster their rosy hue. Manifesto extracts from the sustainably sourced (and entirely vegan) micro-algae ‘haematococcus pluvialis’, for the highest purity and potency. Research suggests that Astaxanthin is an antioxidant around 6,000 times more powerful than Vitamin C and 550 times more potent than green tea.

So what does it do to your skin?

In short, Astaxanthin improves skin texture and elasticity and helps to smooth fine lines and age spots, but it can also help protect our cells against free radicals and reduce inflammation in the body. Inflammation is the body’s response to certain toxins created by factors such as stress, excessive sugar intake, poor diet, sun exposure, smoking, alcohol intake and air pollution which can all have an effect on our skin. Astaxanthin has also been shown to help boost the skin’s natural collagen production, hydration levels and skin elasticity, meaning it might just hold the key to a more youthful, plumped up glow.
