Can astaxanthin help manage asthma in polluted areas?
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This trial tests if a daily supplement called astaxanthin can help people with mild-to-moderate asthma, especially in areas with more air pollution. You would take capsules and track your breathing at home.
