Addressing growing market demand, Algatechnologies has launched AstaPure 5% astaxanthin in oleoresin form. Since a small dosage is typically required for an astaxanthin supplement, the 5% oleoresin derived from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae provides a high concentration while still permitting a small capsule form for easy swallowing, according to the company. AstaPure oleoresin is also available in astaxanthin concentrations of 10% and 20%.
 
All AstaPure products can be used in multiple forms of supplements, cosmeceuticals, and functional foods and beverages. New product development at Algatech is ongoing for application of direct-compression tablets and hard-shell capsules.
 
Algatechnologies fully controls astaxanthin production and is able to track every batch throughout the supply chain. All products are manufactured using supercritical CO2 technology without solvents.
