Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis
Astaxanthin belongs to the group of carotenoids and is a close relative of the well-known beta-carotene and lutein. Like all carotenoids, astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant. It protects cells from damage caused by unstable molecules, which we call free radicals. But unlike other carotenoids, which under certain conditions themselves can cause the activity of free radicals, astaxanthin is an absolutely pure antioxidant. It only protects and never acts as a pro-oxidant.
Astaxanthin is one of the most powerful antioxidants known in nature. Most of this unique substance contains single-celled microalgae “Haematococcus pluvialis”, also recognized as the most environmentally friendly way of extracting the most effective and pure astaxanthin. They produce astaxanthin in large quantities, which protects the DNA of algae cells from harmful UV radiation and free radicals, since for them it is a way of self-preservation in the fight against huge oxidative stress.
Astaxanthin is also contained in marine life, with free access to these microalgae as food (salmon, trout, krill, shrimp, crayfish and crabs grown in free conditions). It is this pigment that pinks all the listed crustaceans and fish.

What Astaxanthin means?
Natural Astaxanthin is classified as a dietary carotenoid and belongs to fat-soluble pigments. That substance is known for its antioxidant properties and has a deep red colour. In nature Astaxanthin present in plants, algae and stains them red and orange. To marine organisms, Astaxanthin gives blues, purples and reddish colours.
In a certain concentration, Astaxanthin is found in seafood such as salmon, trout, red sea bream, shrimp, lobster, and caviar. Definitely, it has been present in the human diet for centuries.
It should be noted that a high concentration of astaxanthin in green microalgae formed the basis for the technology of industrial extraction of this natural carotenoid.
At the present time, Astaxanthin is one of the most promising antioxidants suitable for humans. That is due to its antioxidant activity is many times greater than other known antioxidants.
Most importantly, as a result of numerous experiments and trials of astaxanthin in vivo and in vitro, no obvious side effects or negative results were found by scientists.
For more than 10 years, the company Yunnan Alphy Biotech Co. Ltd has been engaged in the extraction of ecological natural astaxanthin from green microalgae. In our arsenal, there are modern methods of owning and pioneering technologies.
Simultaneously with the production, the team of Yunnan Alphy Biotech Co. Ltd conducts research in the field of cellular engineering and the cultivation of Haematococcus pluvialis. We continuously improve our knowledge to make production more efficient, eco-centric and innovative.
Strict quality standards confirmed by all the necessary certificates and numerous laboratory tests make it possible to be transparent all stages of the extraction of natural astaxanthin. Whether it be raw materials or tubes to develop algae strains in the laboratory, or glass photobioreactor facilities, or finished products.

Benefits of symbiosis with nature
Our production is located in the southern part of China and for growing green algae Haematococcus pluvialis we use only the natural energy of the sun and do not use artificial lighting or non-natural light sources for this process. The natural power of the sun provides us with significant economic benefits since our competitors are required to spend significant additional resources on energy to maintain their technical algae growing processes.
Yunnan Province, where our production is located, is known for its subtropical climate with mild, short winters, warm summers, an abundance of clear sunny days, and small seasonal changes in temperature. The average annual temperature is 21-22⁰C. Due to the unique climatic conditions, our costs for creating favourable conditions for accelerated growth of green algae are minimal and, unlike competitors, we do not require significant additional resources for heating or cooling bioreactors or production facilities.
Due to the synergy of eco-oriented technologies of Yunnan Alphy Biotech and Her Majesty Mother Nature itself, Astaxanthin produced by our company can be called natural for good reason!

Male Fertility
Men with significant levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) may very well suffer from low fertility compared with men with lower ROS levels. Astaxanthin is remarkably more potent antioxidant than other nutrients when it comes to free radical scavenging and in neutralising singlet oxygen molecules, therefore Astaxanthin may apply as therapeutic agents for male infertility.
