Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin: A Natural Nutrient
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid found naturally in foods such as salmon and shrimp. Carotenoids are a group of phytochemicals that give plants their characteristic colors. In addition to astaxanthin, this group includes lutein, zeaxanthin, β-carotene, and lycopene.
The astaxanthin used in the Edubily product is derived from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis —an algae known for its particularly high astaxanthin content. The powder contains 8 mg of astaxanthin per capsule, in line with the maximum recommended dose in the EU.
Astaxanthin has been studied scientifically for many years and remains the subject of numerous research projects. Researchers are particularly interested in the unique chemical properties of this natural pigment, as well as its role in biological systems. In research, astaxanthin is also described as a carotenoid characterized by a low tendency toward auto-oxidation, a trait attributed to its unique molecular structure.
Edubily Astaxanthin is produced in Iceland under sustainable conditions using high-quality branded raw materials from Algalif. The capsules are vegan, contain no unnecessary additives, and are dissolved in olive oil for easy consumption.

Astaxanthin in nature and in your diet
The species of algae Haematococcus pluvialis is the richest natural source of astaxanthin and produces it as its own protective substance against stressful 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 organisms. This is also what gives lobsters, salmon, shrimp, flamingos, and other animals higher up the food chain their characteristic pink to reddish coloration.Sustainably sourced from Iceland
Astaxanthin is produced here using the Icelandic brand-name raw material Algalif®. The unique, closed-loop photobioreactor technology in Iceland provides optimal growth conditions for the algae 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 on food supplements. The raw material is regularly tested for heavy metals. The astaxanthin is dissolved in olive oil, enclosed in a vegan HPMC capsule shell, and contains no additional fillers.References:
