If in China, has it been tested for heavy metals?** A: Hello, Thank you for your interest in our Astaxanthin! Our Astaxanthin is made with Astalif™, which is from Iceland. All of our softgel and capsules have undergone third-party testing and the COAs for each individual lot number can be found using the Track Your Lot feature on our website. If you have any additional questions regarding any of our products, please feel free to send us a message directly! **Q: please tell me why on some bottles it lists carrageenan and some it does not list it? need to know if you make this without carageenan.** A: The Vegan formula does have Carrageenan in it. If you don’t want Carrageenan, order the regular formula which is the one with Gelatin in it. If you ordered the regular formula with Gelatin and received the Vegan formula that contains Carrageenan, contact the company and tell them so you can exchange it. **Q: Why use carrageenan? Deal breaker. Please inform when this is removed, and i will buy approx 2 bottles per month. Sounds great with that exception.** A: Ingredients listed...check the next to last ingredient Astaxanthin (from Haematoccocus pluvialis mircoalgae). Other Ingredients: Organic Coconut Oil, Natural Tocopherols, Veggie Softel (Non-GMO Modified Cornstarch, Vegetable Glycern, Carrageenan, Purified Water) **Q: Are they made / manufactured in the usa ?** A: The supplement facts on the label state the Astaxanthin is "Icelandic Astalif" from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae - so it is from algae in Iceland's waters. Next to the barcode, the label states "manufactured and quality tested in USA". ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by C***H on July 3, 2026* Love how I feel, my eyesight has been improved, and my skin is glowing since I've been taking it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Clean supplement *by C***9 on July 12, 2026* Great quality. Works great highly recommend ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So far, we're very, very satisfied--extremely rare for our experience of supplements *by A***B on May 3, 2015* We've only just begun using this product, so cannot write confidently about the effects on our health. However, I've used eye glasses since high school, and long hours working with sensitive equipment in a lab and pouring over journals' fine print on tablets and in our library daily over many years have taken their toll on my sight. Over the past five years my vision had gotten increasingly blurry, with minute but definite eye strain related pain enduring for longer and longer stretches every day, especially after waking up. My physician and my optometrist both tell me my eye health if fine, but the waning performance of my sight "should be expected" due to genetic, environmental (work), and age-related factors. Expecting another 30-40 years of work with progressively debilitating eye sight presented me a horrify prospect. Then I read a few peer reviewed papers on astaxanthin's potential efficacy in mitigating some sight related disorders, and though I loathe spending money on supplements (because there are so many that are nonetheless poorly tested, if at all; and because there is very little regulation of the industry or protection of consumers), I decided to give astaxanthin a shot, desperate for anything that would alleviate the mounting pain just behind my eyes. It was important to our family to choose a product that was, at least on face value (from what we could read about product contents), consistent with dosage and chemical identity with what published studies had researched. We were surprised to find most astaxanthin marketers apparently don't feel similarly about the products they offer. It was no less important to our family to support a business that does not package their supplements in gelatin, or use any other animal byproducts in their products. And, of course, we wanted a product that provided value for our investment dollar. We've been very happy that Sports Research has satisfied all these criteria. From what I've read, it should take three months of consistent use for our family to be able to detect significant effects from this product. Though this may be too early to report, after about a week of using this product I already feel significantly diminished pain in my eyes. Nothing else in my diet or daily regimen has changed, other than my also relying much less on Ibuprofen for pain relief. Whereas previously I woke with blurred vision and persistent percussion behind my eyes, now I wake without pain or distortion. And this has been consistent over the past three days. I'd be satisfied if this were the only effect of taking this astaxanthin supplement (at a single 12 mg capsule once per day). I'll update this review if any major changes arise going forward, but so far I'm very happy with the product. It's exceedingly rare, for me at least, that a supplement produces any discernible effects. Special thanks to Sports Research for its ethical, humane product encapsulation. Had they chosen gelatin or any other animal-derived component to accompany their astaxanthin, our family would have had to purchase another brand's product, and possibly miss out on the benefits already mentioned. Lastly, in the spirit of transparency, I disclose that Sports Research offered our family a small product incentive to write a review on Amazon, but they did not stipulate the review had to be positive. Also, our family has been approached before by companies offering us products in exchange for reviews, but we've never before felt comfortable writing a review for any incentive, as we heavily rely on honest, unbiased Amazon reviews to help us decide whether to invest in products we buy on Amazon and even elsewhere. I chose to write this review because I'm frankly very impressed so far with this product's price, ethical composition, and apparent effectiveness at significantly diminishing my eye strain--which is the reason I sought out astaxanthin in the first place. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sports Research Vegan Icelandic Astaxanthin 12mg with Organic Coconut Oil | Vegan Certified & Non-GMO Project Verified Dietary Supplement - 60 Veggie Softgels (2 Month Supply) - Sports Research Vegan Lutein + Zeaxanthin (20mg) with Organic Coconut Oil for Better Absorption - Supports Vision & Eye Health - Vegan Certified & Non-GMO Verified (120 Softgels) - Sports Research® Vegan D3 5000iu with Vitamin K2 100mg - Formulated with Coconut MCT Oil - Vegan Certified, Soy & Gluten Free - 60 Softgels --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/4199130-sports-research-vegan-astaxanthin-12mg-w-organic-coconut-oil-60](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/4199130-sports-research-vegan-astaxanthin-12mg-w-organic-coconut-oil-60) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-08-12*
