Astaxanthin

Pure, safe, and reliable natural astaxanthin—nature's most powerful antioxidant—is our pride at Algicel. Our natural astaxanthin is unique because it is produced by native microalgae (Haematococcus pluvialis) selected from the natural waters of the Azores. The Azores, with their ideal climate and clean environment, provide the best conditions for microalgae to thrive. Engineering and technology are at the heart of Algicel. We design the process and technological solutions to produce the highest quality products. At our production facility, we can guarantee purity, safety, and reliability.

As a powerful antioxidant, astaxanthin has multiple functions and benefits. Its remarkable ability to combat oxidative stress and its natural anti-inflammatory activity make it a supplement capable of improving overall health. Specifically, astaxanthin can help maintain youthful, UV-resistant skin, promote eye health, and increase the activity and number of immune system cells. Astaxanthin can help reduce tumor cell viability and improve lipid profiles, as well as other metabolic parameters, while protecting the cardiovascular system. Astaxanthin can contribute to glycemic control and improve exercise performance, protecting against induced muscle and tissue damage, reducing fatigue, and shortening recovery time. Furthermore, astaxanthin can cross the blood-brain barrier, a highly selective barrier that is impermeable to most substances. This property allows it to contribute to brain health, maintaining normal cognitive function and providing neuronal protection.
