- Product Background
- At Algatech, as a leading astaxanthin manufacturer, we’re incredibly passionate about the wonder microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. In this small cell of wisdom lies the billions of years-old secrets to longevity and resilience. During dry periods, when conditions become stressful and ponds begin to dry, the microalga produces astaxanthin, enabling it to preserve its own DNA completely undamaged. That’s right, even if it takes dozens of years, the microalga is ready and able to grow again completely undamaged, patiently waiting until the next rains.
- However, this isn't even the complete story, Algatech discovered something even more awe-inspiring. It appears that our Arava strain microalga had yet more secrets to reveal. A complex from the whole algae was discovered to have, in addition to the superb astaxanthin high potent activity as an antioxidant, a mitochondrial function benefit.

Technical Details & Test Data
- Bioavailability
Algatech, a leading astaxanthin manufacturer, commissioned a clinical pilot study led by principal investigator late Dr. Rafael Bitzur, the former Secretary of the Israeli Society for the Treatment and Prevention of Atherosclerosis. In the study, the level of astaxanthin in the plasma of 10 healthy volunteers was measured by Haematococcus pluvialis LC during a 24 hr follow-up period, after the intake of a single dose of AstaPure® Arava.
Results: The significant findings show that astaxanthin from the whole algae was bioavailable in levels as high as in oleoresin.
