It is Non-GMO Project Verified and certified as GMP, HACCP, ISO, Halal and Kosher.

Algatechnologies offers AstaPure^®oleoresins in concentrations of 5%, 10% and 20%. These are ideal for use in easy-to-swallow softgel capsules and topical cosmetics (oil in water). AstaPure^®can also be supplied in the form of 3% whole-algae powder, or free-flowing highly stable beadlets with 2.5% axtaxanthin for use in hard-shell capsules and tablets.

Algatechnologies produces astaxanthin from the microalgae strain Haematococcus pluvialis.Based in Israel’s Arava desert, Algatechnologies’ state-of-art ‘green’ production facility harnesses solar power to cultivate the microalgae in an enclosed system of photobioreactors, ensuring maximum energy efficiency at all times. The microalgae are grown in fresh water sourced from a local borehole, 80% of which is purified and recycled for re-use.
