Astaxanthin

BioAstin® Hawaiian Astaxanthin®

Astaxanthin (pronounced “asta – zan – thin”) is a red carotenoid and exceptionally powerful antioxidant found in certain species of plants, animals and microalgae. Grown on the pristine Kailua-Kona Coast of Hawaii, Cyanotech sources astaxanthin from natural microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, nature’s richest and most concentrated source of astaxanthin.

Carved out of lava fields, and fed by bright natural Hawaiian sunlight, clean crisp air, and lava-filtered Hawaiian aquifer water—this healthy environment supports a healthy farm. And for over 24 years, we have been growing it naturally, free from GMOs. Because it matters where it’s grown.

Process

BioAstin was the first source of astaxanthin for human nutrition reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). In August 1999, BioAstin completed a review by the FDA without objection and was allowed to be sold in the United States as a dietary supplement. Recognized as a leader in quality, BioAstin is now sold in over 66 countries with expansive distribution in the US, including ecommerce, club warehouses, vitamin stores, and natural retailers. Hawaiian Astaxanthin is available as SCE 5 or bulk gelcaps (vegan soft gel also available).
