Why Natural ASTAXANTHIN 12mg is superior?
1. It contains the most clinically researched natural Astaxanthin in the World from the renowned AstaReal® Group.
AstaReal® Astaxanthin is derived from the richest natural source, the microalgae Haematococcus Pluvialis, using an ultra-clean proprietary indoor cultivation method and is the only natural Astaxanthin source used in over 60 clinical studies.
AstaReal® Astaxanthin is recognised as the trusted industry gold standard due to the innovation, research and unique cultivation method that ensures optimal growth and accululation of Astaxanthin and protection of the algae.


Natural Astaxanthin 12mg uses AstaReal® Astaxanthin grown in the USA.

2. The natural Astaxanthin from AstaReal® is then micro-encapsulated right here in Australia using the unique Pharmako CPO™ technology that protects the potency and enhances bioavailability of the natural Astaxanthin.

Pharmako's CPO™ advantage.
Pharmako's CPO™ technology allows oil active ingredients to become compressible powders suitable for encapsulation with better shelf stability than oils and less sensitivity to air and oxidation – the CPO™ formulations are optimised for stability and allow for high oil capacity with a loading of up to 70% oil, with improved dissolution properties.
Traditional micro-encapsulated oil products have a crust around a liquid centre that commonly, when under pressure, breaks and spills out all its oil, which can spoil the end product.
To overcome this problem of product spoilage from oils, Pharmako's CPO™ technology absorbs the oil into specially designed silica particles. When under large pressures, Pharmako's CPO™ particles simply split into smaller particles, each still loaded with oil.

The result of this combined technology is a vastly improved Natural Astaxanthin 12mg vegan (100% vegetable) capsule, with NO Carrageenan or other nasties, delivering a pure, double-strength natural astaxanthin supplement at a lower cost for Australian consumers.

What is it
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid, like betacarotene. Betacarotene is probably the best known of all the carotenoids as it the best way to fulfil your body's Vitamin A needs. An astaxanthin supplement provides many powerful health benefits beyond many other carotenoids including: heart health, eye and skin health. It is 550 times more powerful than Vitamin E, 10 times that of betacarotene and surpasses Vitamin C as an antioxidant.
Astaxanthin can be found in plants and animals throughout the world. It is most prevalent in algae and phytoplankton, but it also can be found in a limited number of fungi and bacteria. Because organisms like many Astaxanthin containing algae and plankton are the base of the food chain, Astaxanthin can be found in many animals as well. Any sea animal that has a reddish or pinkish color contains Natural Astaxanthin. For example, you can find Astaxanthin in salmon, trout, lobster, shrimp and crab. These animals eat krill and other organisms that ingest Astaxanthin-rich microalgae and plankton as a major part of their diets.
As we mentioned before, the animals that have the highest concentration of Astaxanthin are salmon, where it concentrates in their muscles and makes them the endurance heroes of the animal world. Can you imagine what salmon would look like if they didn't have any Astaxanthin? Not only wouldn't they be able to swim up rivers and waterfalls for days on end, but they'd also look pale and fatigued.
