ASTAXIN

AstaReal AB is a global pioneer and expert in microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis cultivation, production of products with natural astaxanthin, and related R&D and clinical science. AstaReal Ab has distinguished science-oriented roots. It was founded in 1988 as a spin-off from Uppsala University in Sweden – one of the world’s most prestigious universities.

Inspired by astaxanthin’s important role in nature and the animal kingdom, the research group focused on studying astaxanthin as an active substance for human use and exploring the possibilities of scaling up astaxanthin production for dietary supplements manufacturing. In 1995, AstaReal launched the world´s first dietary supplement containing natural astaxanthin.
