Astaxanthin supplement with pulmonary rehabilitation for COPD
Part of Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study tests whether taking an oral astaxanthin supplement (a natural antioxidant) alongside your regular pulmonary rehabilitation helps improve breathing and physical function in people with COPD. The goal is to see if the supplement makes rehabilitation more effective.
