The blood rain alga (Haematococcus pluvialis) is a type of microalga that is known for its striking red colour. This is caused by the carotenoid astaxanthin, which is also found in various fruits and vegetables and produces the characteristic colour of salmon and flamingos. Astaxanthin is a natural protective substance of the algae, which is increasingly produced in difficult living conditions. Natural astaxanthin from microalgae contains the entire carotenoid spectrum.

- Pure plant-based astaxanthin from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis
- With 10% astaxanthin, of which 80-90% is astaxanthin monoester
- Astaxanthin esterified with fatty acids is more easily absorbed
- Plus 1% vitamin E as mixed tocopherols
- Cultivation of the microalgae exclusively with biogenic CO2, which is a waste product of regional bioethanol production

- Operated with 100% renewable electricity and efficient use of process waste heat to heat the production facility
How are we different?
Our original Astafit® Astaxanthin is extracted from the algae Haematococcus pluvialis. During unfavourable living conditions such as intense UV radiation, high temperatures, nutrient deficiency or other environmental stressors, the alga begins to store astaxanthin in its cells and turns from green to red. This protective mechanism enables it to survive for years.
To produce Astafit®, this natural process is imitated in a controlled closed glass tube system. The manufacturer is strongly committed to sustainability and regionality: only biogenic CO2 is used to cultivate the microalgae, a by-product from regional bioethanol production. The closed, state-of-the-art cultivation plant also enables the lowest possible use of resources such as water and cleaning agents. The facility is also 100% powered by renewable electricity.
In contrast to completely synthetically produced astaxanthin, which is synthesised from petroleum chemicals or from yeast, our Astafit® astaxanthin is of completely natural origin. Astaxanthin obtained from algae is naturally esterified with fatty acids and is therefore more easily absorbed; it is also fat-soluble and shows the best bioavailability as a liquid. This is why our capsules do not contain astaxanthin powder, but of liquid astaxanthin dissolved in pure, high-quality MCT coconut oil. The manufacturer of our coconut MCT oil can confirm that no monkeys are used to harvest the coconuts.
Our airtight and leak-proof GreenCaps help protect the selected oil-based raw materials from oxidation. The capsule shells are filled using nitrogen gas and then hermetically sealed, ensuring optimal freshness and extending the product's shelf life. Unlike most other HPMC capsules on the market, our GreenCaps are 100% free from controversial additives such as carrageenans, PEG and gelatine. They are vegan, gluten-free and allergen-free. Once the capsules are ready, we package them in environmentally friendly amber glass jars.
