Bioastin Astaxanthin 12 mg (50 capsules)BioAstin® Astaxanthin 12 mg (50 capsules)Ingredients:algae extract Haematococcus Pluvialis, excipients: carrier: safflower oil (non-GMO), capsule: gelatin (BSE free), glycerin; antioxidant: natural tocopherols. Contains naturally occurring carotenoids, including lutein. Daily Portion:1 capsulePackage contains:50 capsulesQuantity in daily portion (1 capsule)RWS*Supercritical algae extract Haematococcus Pluvialis, including:-Natural Hawaiian Astaxanthin12.0 mg-Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopherol)6.7 mg56%* Reference Intake ValuesAstaxanthin, xanthophyll pigment of Haematococcus algae Pluvialis gives a characteristic color to salmon, shrimp and krill, among others. One of the most interesting phenomena in the world of fauna and flora is salmon migration. These fish accumulate astaxanthin in their muscles and this may explain their incredible strength in overcoming distances upstream measured in hundreds and thousands of kilometers. Haematococcus Pluvialis algae are the main food of krill, so it can be said that the astaxanthin contained in them plus the astaxanthin found in Bioastin will enhance the effect of omega-3 acids of the dietary supplement "Neptune Krill Oil" (NKO - Krill Oil). More scientific research is needed to explain the mechanism of action of astaxanthin – but today you can safely use its unique properties, as evidenced by the huge number of positive articles in the world's leading press, including Times, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated, as well as in many scientific publications. Bioastin works perfectly with Spirulina Pacifica algae and Krill Oil. Directions for use: 1 capsule daily, with a meal. Storage: Store in a closed container in a cool, dry place, out of the reach of small children. Notes: Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The dietary supplement cannot be used as a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. BioAstin production Cyanotech Corporation has been a manufacturer of algae products for over 21 years. It has developed advanced technology, which, combined with the excellent location of the farm on the Kona Coast, Hawaii, makes it possible to produce algae products without any contamination. Advanced technology is used to produce BioAstin Natural Astaxanthin from algae Haematococcus Pluvialis . The initial stage of culturing these algae takes place in closed pool systems with a capacity of up to 40,000 liters. The next short cycle of "red dyeing" lasting 5-7 days takes place in open culture ponds with a capacity of 50,000 liters. At each stage of BioAstin production, Haematococcus algae cultures are inspected by microscopic examination to ensure that the cultures are clean and free from contaminants. After the "red staining" cycle, the algae are harvested, washed and dried. The final stage of BioAstin production is the extraction of the dried Haematococcus algae biomass using supercritical carbon dioxide into an oleoresin free of biological or environmental contaminants. The supercritical extraction process is a key production step to ensure the efficacy, purity and quality of BioAstin Natural Astaxanthin. There is a common misconception that closed microalgae culture pools protect against contamination by other organisms. However, this is not true. Such closed cultures can also be contaminated by other algae, fungi and protozoa. In such a situation, removing biological contaminants in closed pools can be very difficult due to the nature of these types of culture systems. Indeed, persistent contamination of closed pools has led to serious problems for algae preparation manufacturers in California, Europe and Hawaii (not Cyanotech). Closed and open pool culture systems were developed based on Cyanotech's many years of experience. They were designed to minimize problems and ensure that algae products were free of contaminants.Cyanotech is licensed by the Hawaii Department of Health to manufacture and process natural Astaxanthin. We are also GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certified and operate in accordance with FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) guidelines. Each batch of BioAstin Natural Astaxanthin undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure the highest quality and purity of the final product. In addition, our many years of experience and patented technology allow us to produce significantly larger quantities of natural Astaxanthin than our competitors. Our market share in Astaxanthin products is over 95%. Manufacturer: Cyanotech Co. Hawaii, USA Distributor: Nutrex Hawaii, USA
