How are we different?
Our original ASTAFIT® Astaxanthin is extracted from the algae Haematococcus pluvialis. During unfavourable living conditions such as intense UV radiation, high temperatures, nutrient deficiency or other environmental stressors, the alga begins to store astaxanthin in its cells and turns from green to red. This protective mechanism enables it to survive for years.
To produce ASTAFIT®, this natural process is imitated in a controlled closed glass tube system. The manufacturer is strongly committed to sustainability and regionality: only biogenic CO2 is used to cultivate the microalgae, a by-product from regional bioethanol production. The closed, state-of-the-art cultivation plant also enables the lowest possible use of resources such as water and cleaning agents. The facility is also 100% powered by renewable electricity.
In contrast to completely synthetically produced astaxanthin, which is synthesised from petroleum chemicals or from yeast, our ASTAFIT® astaxanthin is of completely natural origin. Astaxanthin obtained from algae is naturally esterified with fatty acids and is therefore more easily absorbed; it is also fat-soluble and shows the best bioavailability as a liquid. This is why our capsules do not contain astaxanthin powder, but of liquid astaxanthin dissolved in pure, high-quality MCT coconut oil. The manufacturer of our coconut MCT oil can confirm that no monkeys are used to harvest the coconuts.
Our airtight and leak-proof GreenCaps help protect the selected oil-based raw materials from oxidation. The capsule shells are filled using nitrogen gas and then hermetically sealed, ensuring optimal freshness and extending the product's shelf life. Unlike most other HPMC capsules on the market, our GreenCaps are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans, PEG and gelatine. They are vegan, gluten-free and allergen-free. Once the capsules are ready, we package them in environmentally friendly amber glass jars.

Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin
The microalga Haematococcus pluvialis, commonly known as Blood Rain Alga, is renowned for its impressive red colouration. This is caused by the carotenoid astaxanthin, which the alga produces as a natural protective mechanism against environmental stressors such as intense UV radiation, high temperatures, or nutrient deficiency. By storing astaxanthin, it can survive for years, even under extreme conditions. This valuable compound not only protects the alga itself but is also responsible for the striking colour of animals like salmon and flamingos, which consume astaxanthin through the food chain. Natural astaxanthin from microalgae inherently contains the original, full carotenoid spectrum of the alga.
