BioAstin™

About BioAstin™

Although not a replacement for the whole food nutrition of Hawaiian Spirulina, BioAstin™ represents a new class of microalgae products with an antioxidant profile and direct functional applications. Nutrex Hawaii is the first company to have launched BioAstin™. And, with an estimated 10,000 species of microalgae, there is a rich variety of products supporting human health waiting for discovery. BioAstin™ natural astaxanthin is a human dietary supplement with powerful antioxidant benefits. Nutrex Hawaii produces BioAstin™ from microalgae and it was the first source of astaxanthin for human nutrition that has been reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

In August 1999, BioAstin™ completed a review by the FDA without objection and was allowed to be sold in the United States as a human dietary supplement. A growing body of scientific literature demonstrates that natural astaxanthin surpasses many of the antioxidant benefits of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene and other carotenoids.

Research has also shown that natural astaxanthin has up to 550 times the antioxidant activity of vitamin E and 10 times the antioxidant activity of beta-carotene.
