Our beta-carotene is a natural extract derived from the saltwater algae Dunaliella salina. Dunaliella salina extract offers one of the highest doses of beta-carotene from a natural source. Currently, the majority of beta-carotene supplements are derived synthetically or from mould. Our beta-carotene is a well-rounded plant extract from naturally growing algae. According to studies, beta-carotene and carotenoids from the sea algae Dunaliella salina offer distinctly higher antioxidative protection as well as bioactivity in comparison to synthetic beta-carotene or beta-carotene substitutes.
In addition to beta-carotene, our extract also contains many other valuable carotenoids in a natural and synergistic complex. These other carotenoids are not found in synthetic beta-carotene or beta-carotene made from mould.
We use pure sunflower oil as a carrier oil and include only one additive, namely natural, mixed tocopherols for increased shelf-life. By comparison, many other products on the market contain soy oil (in part from genetically modified soy) as well as synthetic tocopherols.
We use custom-made, airtight and ultra-pure vegan softgels for optimal freshness, made from manioc root, with no hidden additives such as gelatine, PEG or carrageenans. For packaging, we use amber glass jars to protect against light and oxidation.
