BioAstin Supreme™ is a unique and powerful complex of carotenoids.
The product is 100% vegetarian and free from GMOs, gluten, lactose, preservatives, solvents, pesticides and herbicides.

Olive oil (extra virgin) - as is commonly known, free radicals are responsible for the oxidation process, and therefore the aging of our cells. Olive oil contains significant amounts of antioxidants: vitamin E and polyphenols. It contains very small amounts of saturated fatty acids.

Lutein - belongs to the group of carotenoids, natural fat-soluble pigments. Carotenoids are produced by plants, algae and photosynthesizing bacteria. Lutein is a component of the eye's macula and plays a protective role against UV light by acting as an antioxidant.

Astaxanthin – is a pink-orange pigment from the carotenoid group, produced by certain species of algae, giving the characteristic colour to, among others, shrimp and salmon flesh.

Directions for use: take 1 capsule twice daily, with a meal.

Storage: Store in a closed package in a cool, dry place, out of reach of small children.

Notes: do not exceed the recommended daily serving. Dietary supplement, cannot be used as a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Maintaining a proper state of health requires a balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Production of BioAstin

Cyanotech Corporation has been a producer of algae-based products for more than 21 years. 
It has developed advanced technology which, combined with an excellent farming location on the Kona Coast, Hawaii, makes it possible to produce algae products free of any contamination.

The production of BioAstin Natural Astaxanthin from Haematococcus Pluvialis algae uses advanced technology. The initial growth stage of these algae takes place in closed pond systems with a capacity of up to 40,000 liters. The next short "red coloring" cycle, lasting 5-7 days, takes place in open growing ponds with a capacity of 50,000 liters. At every stage of BioAstin production, the Haematococcus algae cultures are monitored by microscopic examination to ensure that the cultures are pure and free of contamination. After the "red coloring" cycle is complete, the algae are harvested, washed, and dried. The final stage of BioAstin production is the extraction of the dried Haematococcus algae biomass using supercritical carbon dioxide to produce an oleoresin free of biological or environmental contaminants. The supercritical extraction process is a key production stage ensuring the proper effectiveness, purity and quality of BioAstin Natural Astaxanthin. 

A common misconception is that closed microalgae culture pools protect against contamination by other organisms. However, this is not true. Such closed cultures can also become contaminated by other algae, fungi or protozoa. In such a situation, removing biological contaminants from closed pools can be very difficult due to the specific nature of this type of cultivation system. Indeed, persistent contamination of closed cultures has led to serious problems for producers of algae preparations in California, Europe and Hawaii (not Cyanotech). The closed and open pond systems were developed based on Cyanotech's many years of experience. They were meant to minimise problems and ensure that algae-based products are free from contaminants.

Cyanotech has been granted a permit by the Hawaii State Department of Health to produce and process natural Astaxanthin. We also hold a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certificate and operate in accordance with FDA (Food and Drug Administration) guidelines. Every batch of BioAstin Natural Astaxanthin undergoes rigorous quality control testing to ensure the highest quality and purity of the final product. In addition, years of experience and patented technology allow us to produce far greater quantities of natural astaxanthin than our competitors. Our share of the Astaxanthin product market is over 95%.
