Astaxanthin, a member of the carotenoid family with dark-red color, is one of the most powderful antioxidants found in nature up to date. The research on animals and some human clinical trials has demonstrated that astaxanthin can help to prevent and fight several human diseases, such as UV-light photooxidation, inflammation, cancer,, ulcer?????elicobacterpylorii infection, aging and age-related diseases. Furthermore, astaxanthin also promotes the immune response, liver function and heart, eye, joint and prostate health.
The green alga Haematococcus pluvialis is capable of synthesizing and accumulating astaxanthin in larger amount under stress conditions, suggesting it is the best candidate for natural astaxanthin production. In fact, natural astaxanthin is mainly derived from the biomass (powder) of Haematococcus pluvialis.
In our company, the cultivation process of Haematococcus pluvialis is strictly controlled under high hygienic conditions taking advantage of Wefirst?????dvanced production techniques. Thus, the natural astaxanthin we offer in the form of Haematococcus pluvialis powder is 100% toxic free. In another word, it is absolutely free of pesticides, synthetic antioxidants, synthetic dyes and antibiotics.
The production capacity in our company located in China has reached 5 tons per year up to now. We can supply five grades high-quality Haematococcus pluvialis powder in bulk with different astaxanthin content ranged from 1.5 to 3.5%, which can be used as dietary supplement and feed additive as well as for down-stream refinement.
Wefirst is a technology-based biotech company focused on natural astaxanthin production applying the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. Our company is located in Weihai, a beautiful coastal city of China, with abundant sunlight, clear water and fresh air which is quite suitable for cultivation of the green alga.
