Carlson Labs has debuted Astaxanthin Gummies, which provide 8 mg of astaxanthin and 200 mg of vitamin C per serving. The gummies come in natural cherry flavor and are vegetarian and non-GMO.
“We decided to launch these gummies because we loved their flavor, and we believe that the combination of astaxanthin and vitamin C is both unique and important for our consumers, especially today,” said Carlson President Carilyn Anderson. “We are excited to release this product online and throughout brick-and-mortar stores nationwide.”
The astaxanthin ingredient in this product is Astaferm, a fermented astaxanthin derived from yeast (Phaffia rhodozyma) extract.
“We are thrilled to see yet another leading brand in the supplement market taking advantage of our ground-breaking product and technology,” said Elzaphan Hotam, vice president of marketing at NextFerm Technologies, Ltd. a food tech start-up developing novel, fermented-derived ingredients for human nutrition. “The secret ingredient here is our Astaferm—the only fermented astaxanthin on the market and the only one that comes as a highly-concentrated powder with no flavor or odor. Our gummies are loaded with astaxanthin and vitamin C yet maintain great flavor and are vegetarian.”
