Your Skincare Routine is Only Working on the Surface.
Two women use the same serum. The same SPF. The same night cream. Five years later, one looks visibly younger than the other.
The difference isn't what they put on their skin. It's what's happening underneath it.
You do everything right. The morning routine. The SPF, every single day. The retinol, the vitamin C serum, the eye cream that cost more than dinner.
And still, every year, your mirror shows something your routine can't seem to fix.
A new line appears. Your skin looks duller than it did six months ago. The texture is changing, slowly, in a direction you don't like. You're not imagining it.
Here's what's happening. UV light and daily stress create free radicals deep below the surface, in layers no cream can reach.
Over time, those free radicals break down collagen and reduce elasticity. The fine lines and dullness showing up in your mirror aren't from lack of effort. They're from damage happening in a place your skincare routine can't get to.
Your skincare routine protects the surface. It can't protect the structure.
Your next serum won't fix this. It requires protection from inside the body, at the cellular level.
And that's exactly the approach women in Japan adopted over twenty years ago.
Alongside their skincare routines, they take a daily supplement called astaxanthin. You've almost certainly never heard of it. But you've seen it your whole life.
It's the molecule that makes salmon pink and flamingos red. It comes from microalgae, the tiny organisms at the base of the marine food chain. In wild salmon, astaxanthin is what protects their muscles during the gruelling upstream swim to spawn. Without it, they wouldn't survive the journey. It's one of the most powerful protective molecules in nature.
And for the last twenty years, millions of people across Japan have been taking it daily. Not as a sunscreen. As an internal shield against the same kind of damage that ages your skin from within.
6,000 Times More
Powerful Than Vitamin C
That’s not a typo.
Published research measures astaxanthin’s ability to neutralise free radicals, the molecules that damage your skin cells. It outperforms vitamin C by 6,000 times. Vitamin E by 550 times. CoQ10 by 800 times.
Most antioxidants can become harmful at high concentrations. They flip and start causing the damage they were meant to prevent.
Astaxanthin never does this.
It stays protective regardless of dose.
This is the single most powerful antioxidant ever measured. And you can take it every morning with breakfast.
ANTIOXIDANT POTENCY INDEX
Relative free-medical
The most powerful antioxidant ever measured
Based on published antioxidant potency measurements in peer-reviewed research.
Published Research. Real Skin Outcomes.
In a 16-week randomised, placebo-controlled trial, 65 women took either astaxanthin or a placebo during the months when UV exposure and environmental stress are harshest.
The placebo group measurably declined.
More wrinkles, less moisture, increased skin inflammation.
The astaxanthin group didn't.
Tominaga et al, 2017. 16-week randomised, placebo-controlled study. 65 female participants aged 35–60.
Their wrinkle depth, moisture levels, and elasticity all held steady while the control group's skin worsened around them.
A separate systematic review of 11 clinical studies confirmed the pattern: supplementation improved skin texture, reduced wrinkle formation, and increased moisture content. Benefits appeared at doses as low as 6mg per day.
Biosphere Astaxanthin delivers 12mg daily.
Double the minimum effective dose found in published research.
Most Astaxanthin Supplements Waste Your Money
Astaxanthin is fat-soluble. Deliver it alone and most passes through your digestive system unused.
Every Biosphere softgel includes a specialised absorption complex with phosphatidylcholine and olive oil, designed to significantly enhance uptake of fat-soluble antioxidants compared to standard formulations.
Based on published research on phospholipid-enhanced carotenoid absorption.
This is the difference between a supplement that sits in your stomach and one that actually reaches your skin.
And while your skin gets the primary benefit, published research shows astaxanthin also supports eye comfort, joint health, and cardiovascular function.
One supplement. Two softgels at breakfast. Whole-body protection.

Astaxanthin is vital for us all in this aging process. Every blessing we can get for all round health and optimal function is a bonus. We are grateful for the bioavailable source. Regards Steve and Fiona
I have tried many supplements over the years. Some I’ve stopped using because I didn’t notice a difference. I Will always aim to keep astaxanthin as part of my stack. I have noticed such an amazing change in my skin. My skin has always been good, but this has taken it to another level. I love this product! I particularly love the Biosphere brand as they use olive oil in the capsules, rather than seed oils. Really happy to support this NZ company.
Great product, I have been using it to help my eyes feel more comfortable ( post menopause) , they are definitely less scratchy than they were! I can’t wait to try the magnesium yet, it looks really good.
We both have the best sleep usimg this product. I am about to put in another order.
Lovely flavour and works really well.
I rely on 'Sleep' to help my sleep. Its a vial part of my evening ritual. I notice when I dont take it
Great for dry eyes. Best I've tried
Take this every night for restless legs and sleep . Alternate between the 2 flavours
Very good product but I did have to adapt it. I found taking it just before bed it would give me a hit of energy. So I no take it with dinner or just after around 7 and it gives my body time to process the ashwaganda. I still do have trouble sleeping but I do feel the nights I do sleep it’s a deeper sleep. I am going through a lot of stress and biological changes but I do feel it has helped just not as much as I hoped. The flavour is delicious and the customer service was awesome. I’m going to try the plain magnesium next time as I think ashwagandha not well suited to me
Great product - slept soundly :)
Love this product, after my first month I have far more mobility, energy and stamina, will be purchasing more...
I haven't gotten my very first bottle yet, but I will be ordering more. Capsules are easy to swallow, and makes it easy that need to take with food . Easy to remember with breakfast
On my second month of astaxanthin, not much change except a little more energy generally. Will give it a full three months.
I am so happy with my Astaxanthin . Can’t believe that it has worked so quick at pain relief . I have tried lots of other products in many years and I think this is the best thing I have tried . I have no pain and it so good . I hope this keeps up I have arthritis and and a few joint replacements so always in pain . Thank you
Awesome flavour magnesium for a massive day in the mountains!!!
Both flavours are nice and the powder mixes well. No longer getting night time cramps, so very happy with this. Will definitely be continuing with this product.
Awesome product.
I've been taking Biosphere Nitric Oxide for just over 5 weeks now. Before I started my blood pressure was in the 140s/150s/ 90s. This month I have only had one spike and my daily readings are consistently lower with some now in the ideal or normal range. I am really pleased with this result so far.
Ive been taking these now for a little over a month an just love the way my skin feels, an how its helped me not getting any flu this winter . As a shift worker doing 12 hr shifts I think its really been a great help getting me thru the day. I highly recommend them.
This magnesium is almost magic, I have had hip pain for several years and 5 weeks in it had totally gone. Unfortunately its a little hard on my stomach so have had to cut down the dose to half, I can just feel my hip pain a little again with the half dose. I will try supplementing the half dose with Astaxanthin next order.
I was getting regular muscle cramps at night and in the 30 days I trialled Biosphere Magnesium I only got a cramp once or twice. Since then I tried another brand of magnesium but haven't had the same success. Mixes easily and the lemon-lime flavour I tried us pleasant to drink.
I’ve been taking Bio sphere Nitric Oxide for a couple of years now as part of my supplement protocols. I workout at the gym and also do a lot of breathwork and this compliments everything I do.
It tastes good, easy to use, and I've halved my blood pressure tablet. It seems to be working for me and I intend to remove the blood pressure tablet totally in a week or so. It's coming on holiday with me!
Take it with my morning decaf that has coconut milk - so I am taking 2 capsules with some fats. Recently had people commenting on how nice my skin is looking. I am 60yo and recovering from cancer treatment.
Really happy with the magnesium powder, mixes well, tastes great and is now part of my daily routine.
Perfect start to my day…great flavour and definitely an improvement showing in my blood pressure levels!
The lemon/lime Magnesium powder is delicious and refreshing. It certainly is helping reduce cramps and helps me get to sleep quickly and sleep for longer periods.
I take magnesium after the gym to help with cramp.
Onto my first jar and already have a back up ready to go. Tastes delicious . Even bought a new bottle to use .
My husband is slowly reducing his blood pressure medication by using Nitric Oxide. Blood pressure is finally reducing
Been taking Astaxanthin for about 6 weeks now and definitely notice my eye and skin health is better, also seem to have a bit more energy.
A nightly routine, super power sleep when I take the magnesium - such a distinctly better sleep than nights I don’t take it.
I’ve recently changed to Biosphere Magnesium and will be reordering. It is so easy to take and adjust the amount as needed. I particularly like the Mango Pineapple flavour and take it just before bed to stop leg cramps.
Great product
I have this in the morning. Great tasting and refreshing. Great start to the day
I have found this the only product, after many years of finding something to help my sleep. My sleep for past 13 years been erratic due to menopause and hectic life. I have used this for a month now with only a couple of bad nights sleep. I sleep through until 5.00am. Hallelujah. Thank you Biosphere. Great product. Also just started using your hydrate supplement. I'll see how that goes over next month too.
I've been forgetting to wear my prescription glasses, it's been 3 months. My hair is a little darker, my nails are stronger and my skin has a summery glow. Hoping for some relief to my joints....
Easy to take and Good value for money!
The longer I take these the better I have been feeling
I started using astaxanthin on 13 May 2026. I live with chronic inflammation that often leads to headaches and migraines, and since beginning the supplement I’ve noticed a meaningful shift. My baseline inflammation feels lower, and the frequency and intensity of my headaches and migraines have reduced. Another unexpected change has been with my eye floaters. They used to be a daily nuisance, but over the past weeks they’ve improved noticeably. This is simply my personal experience and not a medical conclusion. Yet the changes have been significant enough for me to share.
