Soft gums and effervescent products using AstaReal® natural astaxanthin, show the possibilities of AstaReal to address a variety of dosage forms and astaxanthin’s ability to work in various formulas.

Natural astaxanthin from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent. Its unique structure allows it to quench free radicals in the inner and outer layer of the cell membrane unlike other antioxidants, thus protecting lipids, proteins, DNA and mitochondria from oxidative stress. In this way, astaxanthin can boost muscle endurance and recovery, enhance fat metabolism and reduce muscle damage as well as inflammation. Studies have shown that it is also able to lower lactic acid build up and decrease fatigue. This makes it a valuable ingredient for supplements targeting the sports nutrition market.
Andie Long, Marketing & Sales Manager at AstaReal AB, says: “As a global leader in the market, we recognize our responsibility to educate people about the benefits of natural astaxanthin for human health. We are delighted that Dr Mark Miller, who has made significant contributions as researcher, entrepreneur and marketer in the fields of health and medicine, will join us at Vitafoods. His presentation will delve into the latest science and market opportunities for natural astaxanthin and explore its unique actions which reveal why it is becoming the premier ingredient for performance and recovery.“
