Astaxanthin, a xanthophyll pigment of algae Haematococcus Pluvialis gives a characteristic color to, among others, salmon, shrimp, and krill. One of the most interesting phenomena in the world of fauna and flora is the migration of salmon. These fish wonderfully accumulate astaxanthin in their muscles, and perhaps this explains their incredible strength in overcoming distances upstream measured in hundreds and thousands of kilometers.
Haematococcus Pluvialis algae are the main food for krill, so it can be said that the astaxanthin contained in them plus the astaxanthin found in BioAstin enhance the effect of omega-3 fatty acids in the dietary supplement "Neptune Krill Oil" (NKO – Krill Oil). More scientific research is needed to explain the mechanism of astaxanthin's action – but even today, its unique properties can be used without any concerns, as evidenced by the huge number of positive articles in leading global press such as Times, Newsweek, and Sports Illustrated, as well as in many scientific publications.
Bioastin works excellently in combination with Spirulina Pacifica algae and Krill Oil.

BioAstin Production
Cyanotech Corporation has been a producer of algae products for over 21 years.
It developed advanced technology which, combined with the excellent location of the cultivation on Kona Coast, Hawaii, allows the production of algae products without any contaminants.
Advanced technology is used to produce BioAstin Natural Astaxanthin from Haematococcus Pluvialis algae. The initial stage of cultivating these algae takes place in closed pool systems with a capacity of up to 40,000 liters. The next short "red coloring" cycle lasting 5-7 days occurs in open cultivation ponds with a capacity of 50,000 liters. At every stage of BioAstin production, Haematococcus algae cultures are monitored through microscopic examination to ensure the cultures are clean and free of contaminants. After the "red coloring" cycle is complete, 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 from biological or environmental contaminants. The supercritical extraction process is a key production step ensuring the proper efficacy, purity, and quality of BioAstin Natural Astaxanthin.
There is a common misconception that closed microalgae cultivation ponds protect against contamination by other organisms. However, this is not true. Such closed cultures can also be contaminated by other algae, fungi, or protozoa. In such cases, removing biological contaminants in closed ponds can be very difficult due to the specific nature of these cultivation systems. Indeed, continuous contamination of closed cultures has led to serious problems for algae product manufacturers in California, Europe, and Hawaii (not Cyanotech). Closed and open pond cultivation systems were developed based on many years of experience by Cyanotech. They were designed to minimize problems and ensure that algae products are free from contaminants.
The company Cyanotech has a permit issued by the Hawaii Department of Health for the production and processing of natural Astaxanthin. We also hold a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certificate and operate in accordance with FDA (U.S. Food and Drug Administration) guidelines. Each batch of BioAstin Natural Astaxanthin undergoes rigorous quality control tests to ensure the highest quality and purity of the final product. Furthermore, many years of experience and patented technology allow for the production of significantly larger quantities of natural astaxanthin. Cyanotech Co.'s market share in the sales of Astaxanthin products exceeds 95%.
