How are we different?
Our natural astaxanthin from native Hawaiian microalgae (Haematococcus pluvialis) is 100% original BioAstin® from Hawaiʻi, supplied by a global market leader with a heritage that spans over 30 years. BioAstin® comes from Hawaiʻi's only microalgae farm in a "Biosecure Zone" where the use of plant protection products, chemical fertilisers and genetically modified organisms is prohibited throughout the entire area. This guarantees the highest purity of algae, which is protected from exposure to pesticides, heavy metals and other toxins, as proven by regular laboratory tests. The state-of-the-art breeding tanks are constantly monitored in order to prevent the growth of foreign algae, which leads to contamination by other algae species in open breeding tanks.
In open cultivation ponds, the algae develop their natural strength and vitality. This unique location on the Kona Coast of Hawaiʻi offers more year-round sunlight than any other coastal region in the USA, allowing the algae to grow continuously, twelve months a year. The sustainable cultivation occurs in high-purity island spring water, which is efficiently purified and reused to conserve resources and prevent land erosion. A rich supply of minerals and trace elements is naturally provided by local lava rock and pure, deep Pacific seawater, eliminating the need for artificial fertilisers. The entire production process is 100% vegan and free from fishmeal.
In contrast to completely synthetically produced astaxanthin, which is synthesised from petroleum chemicals or yeast for animal feed and salmon farming to achieve the appealing red colouration of the fish, our BioAstin® astaxanthin is completely natural. Unlike such isolated, synthetically produced astaxanthin, our natural astaxanthin is incorporated into a natural complex of other phytochemicals. The raw material BioAstin® is astaxanthin-containing Haematococcus extract with safflower oil as natural carrier oil, which has a particularly high oleic acid content. Due to the gentle spray-drying according to the ocean-chill method at low temperatures, the full content of the valuable carotenoids are preserved.
Astaxanthin is fat soluble and has the best bioavailability in the form of liquid oil. That's why our capsules are not made from astaxanthin powder, but from liquid astaxanthin suspended in pure, high-quality MCT coconut oil, thereby delivering a significantly higher degree of bioavailability.
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.
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. The storage of astaxanthin allows it to 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.
