According to Dr. Mercola Astaxanthin Can Help Prevent Cellular Damage from Radiation Exposure
The following is from an excerpt from his website (link below)
The above tips are the very basics. But there are some additional steps you can take that can further increase your odds of staying well. Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring but still little known carotenoid that may be the most potent antioxidant in nature. Carotenoids are the compounds in your foods that give them that vibrant cornucopia of color - from green grasses to red beets, to the spectacular yellows and oranges of your bell peppers. Astaxanthin is what gives wild salmon their vibrant red color.
Not only does astaxanthin give your immune system an enormous boost, but it's also a potent UVB absorber and can help reduce DNA damage. Hence it can help protect you from the increased radiation you are subjected to while flying, and may even offer protection against any harmful radiation exposure from airport scanners.
I recommend taking 4-8 mg of astaxanthin for several weeks prior to flying, and continue taking it throughout your trip.
