Three high-quality astaxanthin products, one shared commitment: uncompromising BIOGENA quality. Whether you prefer a minimalist approach, flexibility or a smart combination – here you’ll find the right solution for your personalised nutrition routine.

If you’re looking to buy astaxanthin, BIOGENA offers capsules, drops and carefully formulated combination products to suit a range of needs. This means you can choose exactly the form of astaxanthin that best fits your daily life and your nutritional routine.

Astaxanthin is regarded as the ‘red diamond’ amongst carotenoids. This natural antioxidant not only captivates with its intense red colour, but has also established itself as a sought-after, trending ingredient in the fields of healthy ageing and ‘beauty from within’. Many people consciously incorporate astaxanthin into their daily lifestyle routine – particularly in relation to sport, the immune system and the protection of the skin and eyes.

For supplements, astaxanthin derived from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis is regarded as a particularly high-quality source. The astaxanthin extracted from it is in what is known as an esterified form and is therefore considered particularly stable and easily absorbed.

Would you like to delve even deeper into the world of astaxanthin? On our blog, you’ll find fascinating insights into its origins, unique properties and areas of application:

Whether you choose capsules or drops – the best choice is always the one that fits easily into your daily routine. Both forms offer their own benefits and make your astaxanthin routine as flexible as your lifestyle.

Capsules are particularly suitable for anyone who values a simple and precisely measured dose. They can be easily incorporated into existing routines, have a long shelf life and are the ideal companion for when you’re on the go.

Do you want to stay as flexible as possible? Then drops might be just the thing for you. The liquid form allows for individual dosing and is particularly suitable for people who prefer liquid supplements or who don’t want to swallow capsules.

Are you looking for more than just astaxanthin? Combining it with the immune-boosting nutrients vitamin C and D is a sensible way to complement astaxanthin and is particularly suitable for people under pressure who want to specifically support their immune system.

If you want to choose a high-quality astaxanthin supplement, it’s worth taking a close look at the quality of the raw materials, the dosage and the formulation. After all, when it comes to dietary supplements, it’s not just the active ingredient that makes the difference, but also how carefully it is extracted and processed.

The microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis is considered a particularly high-quality natural source. The astaxanthin extracted from it is in what is known as an esterified form and is therefore regarded as particularly stable and easily absorbed.

Equally important are well-researched formulations and transparent dosage information. High-quality supplements clearly state how much astaxanthin they actually contain and base their dosage on scientific evidence. Experience shows that many recommendations range from 4–8 mg of astaxanthin per day – if you’re unsure, micronutrient experts will be happy to help you find the right dosage for your individual needs.

At BIOGENA, we don’t just understand quality – we live and breathe it. That’s why we rely on carefully selected raw materials, science-based formulations and the highest standards throughout the entire value chain.

We are particularly proud of our natural premium astaxanthin, astafit®, from Austria. The microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis is cultivated in Eastern Styria in a closed indoor algae cultivation system under optimal conditions. This produces high-quality, high-purity premium astaxanthin of uncompromising BIOGENA quality.

And we make no compromises when it comes to processing either: not only does the raw material come from Austria, but the astaxanthin powder capsules are also manufactured at our own production facility in Austria. For us, ‘Made in Austria’ therefore means far more than just origin – it stands for quality, expertise and the utmost care throughout the entire manufacturing process.
