How are we different?
Our natural astaxanthin from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis is 100% original BioAstin® from Hawaiʻi, produced by the global market leader with over 30 years of tradition. BioAstin® comes from a farm in a "BioSecure Zone." No pesticides or herbicides are used in cultivation and production, the non-GMO status is certified by the independent IGEN programme, and the raw material is regularly tested for pesticide residues and heavy metals. It is therefore an exceptionally pure raw material. A state-of-the-art, constantly controlled balance in the cultivation ponds prevents the growth of foreign algae. The producer of BioAstin® astaxanthin chose the Kona coast in Hawaiʻi because of its remote, pristine location and access to deep-sea water from a depth of about 2000 feet.
In open cultivation ponds, the algae generate their natural strength and vitality. The special location of the Kona coast in Hawaiʻi offers more sunlight year-round than any other coastal location in the USA, allowing the algae to grow continuously for 12 months a year. Cultivation takes place in the island's ultra-pure spring water, which is purified and reused several times. The natural lava rock and ultra-pure Pacific deep-sea water provide a rich supply of minerals and trace elements without the use of artificial fertilisers. The production is 100% vegan, without the use of fishmeal.
Unlike completely synthetic astaxanthin, which is synthesised from petroleum chemicals or yeast and used, for example, in salmon farming to achieve the attractive red colour of the fish, our BioAstin® astaxanthin is of completely natural origin. Unlike such isolated, synthetically produced astaxanthin, our natural astaxanthin is embedded in a natural complex of additional phytochemicals. The raw material BioAstin® is astaxanthin-rich Haematococcus extract with safflower oil as a natural carrier oil, which has an exceptionally high oleic acid content. The gentle spray drying using the Ocean-Chill process at low temperatures preserves the full content of valuable carotenoids and the powerful potential.
Astaxanthin is fat-soluble and has the best bioavailability in a liquid oil phase. Therefore, our capsules do not contain astaxanthin powder, but liquid astaxanthin dissolved in pure, high-quality MCT coconut oil. Our capsules therefore offer significantly higher bioavailability compared to astaxanthin powder. The producer of our coconut MCT oil can confirm that no monkeys are used to harvest the coconuts.
Our airtight and leak-proof capsule shells protect the selected oil-based raw materials as best as possible from oxidation. The capsule shells are filled under nitrogen and hermetically sealed with an additional sealing ring. This ensures the optimal freshness and shelf life of the valuable ingredients. The capsules made from HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) are 100% free of additives such as carrageenan, gelatine and PEG, unlike most other HPMC capsule shells. They are vegan, gluten- and allergen-free.

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.

Product Details
Our in-house production guarantees uncompromising purity and quality. Production, bottling and encapsulation take place in the EU according to our own rigorous specifications and in strict compliance with HACCP, GMP and ISO 22000:2018 standards.
Bespoke liquid formulations, (functional) foods for athletic and daily performance and select exclusive items are produced as high-grade custom preparations by chosen partners who share our commitment to quality, adhering strictly to HACCP, GMP and ISO standards.
In line with our True Clean Label philosophy, we refrain from using artificial additives, colourants and preservatives intended to standardise product appearance. Consequently, formulations containing natural botanical extracts and plant-based raw materials may display subtle batch-to-batch colour variations. These variations stem from natural factors such as harvest timing (seasonal differences between early and late harvests), origin (geographical soil and climate fluctuations) or processing dynamics (variations in particle grind size). Such natural shade shifts may also occur in our plant-based or compressed tablets formulated with premium acacia fibre or nanoparticle-free cellulose and do not constitute a defect in quality.
Laboratory Tests
The purity of our formulas is important to us. This is why we have both our raw ingredients as well as our finished products extensively tested by independent laboratories to confirm purity and active ingredient content. Here, we have provided the results of some of the tests carried out on this product.
