Astaxanthin 4mg
Natural astaxanthin from algue
astafit®: the guarantor for Austrian astaxanthin of the highest quality – now new as vegan product
In nature there are over 700 known natural carotenoids - astaxanthin is one of them. Astaxanthin originates from the green microalga Haematococcus pluvialis, which forms the characteristic red natural pigment as a stress reaction in the case of food or water deficiency, strong sunlight or extreme cold. Astaxanthin enters animals and humans via the food chain and is responsible for the reddish colouring of crustaceans, lobsters and salmon, for example. 100 % native astaxanthin is produced in a specially designed, closed indoor algae breeding system before it finds its way into Biogena's capsules. This system guarantees the production of high quality algae substances under optimal conditions - and all this "Made in Austria"! For this reason Biogena Astaxanthin (astafit®) offers 100 % natural astaxanthin in highest purity and quality, which differs significantly from synthetically produced astaxanthin. The natural carotenoid dissolved in sunflower oil in the capsule is hermetically sealed, which keeps the active ingredient available for longer and also ensures maximum bioavailability. By using the latest technology, encapsulation in a vegan capsule shell is now also possible. Biogena Astaxanthin 4mg - Austrian quality from passion.

FAQ
At Biogena, “pure substance principle” means that we do not use technological additives which are used for the fully automated manufacturing of tablets, capsules and pills (e.g. anticaking or release agents and so forth) or additives that are used for optical reasons or for enhancing the taste of the products (artificial aroma, colouring agents, coatings etc.). Due to a semi-automatic manufacturing process, we can avoid these substances that often have a higher proportion in customary products than the actual active ingredients. In the case of nutritional supplements, additives have to be indicated in the list of ingredients. Here, the patient or customer can get useful information. Concerning the single ingredients, we also care for our raw materials to be free of carrier substances. In cases where this is not possible, we use natural food components such as maltodextrin, cellulose powder or calcium carbonate. The majority of our ingredients is produced exclusively for us – free of carrier substances (e.g. our enzymes our probiotics: other manufacturers often use lactose as a carrier – the product batches produced for us are explicitly without carriers).
BIOGENA preparations are carefully manufactured in our own production facility, BIOGENA Good Health World (Salzburg, Austria), to a unique manufacturing standard. We are certified according to ISO 22,000:2018 and GMP - Good Manufacturing Practice and have organic, halal and kosher certification.
