Company Profile

AstaReal, a pioneer in the nutraceutical sector, is a leader producer of natural Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis.
Owned by Japanese company Fuji Chemical Industries Co., Ltd. AstaReal operates production plants in Sweden (original headquarter of the company) and in USA and is globally present through subsidiaries and distributors.
After having spinned off from prestigious Uppsala university in Sweden, AstaReal was the first company, in the early 1990s, to develop the production process for natural astaxanthin, then launching in 1995 the very first human supplement rich in astaxanthin, which was constituted by a crushed and dried biomass of H. pluvialis.
H. pluvialis, a freshwater microalgae, accumulates high concentrations of natural astaxanthin, a potent scavenger of oxygen radicals and antioxidant molecule with anti-inflammatory effect; AstaReal cultivates H. pluvialis in closed photobioreactors, to maximize control, yield, quality and purity of astaxanthin. Obtained biomass is then further extracted into an oleoresin and formulated in different versions for any nutraceutical use.
Since the beginning, AstaReal has been fully committed in R&D processes and has been involved in education about health benefits of this powerful biomolecule and in a continuous scientific and clinical activity to support efficacy of Astaxanthin in several human and animal health areas.
