Astaxanthin: Natural vital substance
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid that occurs naturally in foods such as salmon and shrimp. Carotenoids are a group of secondary plant substances that give plants their characteristic color. In addition to astaxanthin, lutein, zeaxanthin, β-carotene, and lycopene also belong to this group.
For the Edubily product, astaxanthin is extracted from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis – an algae known for its particularly high astaxanthin content. The powder contains 8 mg of astaxanthin per capsule, which is in line with the maximum recommended amount in the EU.
Astaxanthin has been studied scientifically for many years and remains the subject of numerous research projects. Researchers are interested in the unique chemical properties of this natural pigment and its role in biological systems. Researchers also describe astaxanthin as a carotenoid characterized by a low tendency toward autooxidation, which is attributed to its special molecular structure.
Edubily Astaxanthin is produced in Iceland under sustainable conditions using a high-quality branded raw material from Algalif. The capsules are vegan, contain no unnecessary additives, and are dissolved in olive oil for convenient consumption.

Astaxanthin in nature and in your diet
The algae species Haematococcus pluvialis is the richest natural source of astaxanthin and produces it as a protective substance against stress conditions such as intense sunlight. In addition to this algae, astaxanthin is also produced by other Microalgae, phytoplankton, yeasts and bacteria biosynthesized and accumulates throughout the food chain in zooplankton, crustaceans, and ultimately in various marine creatures. This also gives lobsters, salmon, shrimp, flamingos, and other animals higher up the food chain their characteristic pink to reddish coloration.Sustainable origin from Iceland
Astaxanthin is extracted here using the Icelandic branded raw material Algalif®. The unique, closed photobioreactor technology in Iceland provides optimal growth conditions for the algal cells, which are ultimately stimulated to produce astaxanthin through a multi-stage process (green phase, starvation phase, red phase).Edubilys Astaxanthin Capsules
Edubily uses 8 mg of astaxanthin per capsule – in accordance with the EU directive for food supplements. The raw material is regularly tested for heavy metals. The astaxanthin is dissolved in olive oil, encased in a vegan HPMC capsule shell, and contains no additional fillers.References:
