The AstaReal Group is an expert innatural astaxanthin production and related science. As a global leaderin the market, we want to spread the word about astaxanthin’s outstanding benefits for human and animal health, while setting the highest standards of product quality and purity. With over 70 human clinical studies, AstaReal^® is the market´s most studied brand of natural astaxanthin.

Astaxanthin, a member of the carotenoids family, is a dark-red pigment derived from the freshwater microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. It is one of the most powerful natural antioxidants known to science.

AstaReal cultivates the microalgae indoors under controlled conditions. This results in a safe, stable and pure product with at least 5% astaxanthin content in the biomass.

AstaReal^® products are safe for the intended use. Production is done in appropriate food manufacturing facilities according to a HACCP-concept (Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and 853/2004). AstaReal AB is certified according to FSSC 22000 and ISO 9001. AstaReal^® products are Informed Ingredient, Vegan, Halal and Kosher certified.

Sustainability is a key consideration at AstaReal. We want our products to serve the health and wellbeing of humans, animals and the planet as a whole. All of our commitments are in line with the UN Sustainable Development Goals. And we want to make sure that our sustainability approach applies to our own business too. To name a few of our activities: We use 100% climate-neutral electricity, set sustainability demands in our supplier assessment, use integrated systems for waste disposal and provide health-promoting internal activities. Yet we are continuously striving for more, and thus continue to report on our actions and progress. Our long-term goal is to become a climate-neutral company by 2024.
