Pure & Essential Astaxanthin Complex is a natural extract from the microalgae Haematococcus Pluvialis (H. Pluvialis) – the same algae responsible for the pink-red pigmentation of wild salmon and crustaceans. Astaxanthin Complex contains the highest available concentration of astaxanthin, and a complex of other beneficial carotenoids including lutein and zeaxanthin, as well as amino acids and fatty acids, which together offer a broad range of health benefits, enhance its bioavailability and increase cell membrane stability.


Of all the carotenoids, astaxanthin is nature’s most potent, with the highest known ORAC value (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) – a measure of its ability to combat oxidative stress. Astaxanthin’s ability to quench free radicals is 6,000 times greater than vitamin C, 800 times that of coenzyme Q10 and 550 times that of vitamin E. 


Astaxanthin can anchor itself in all cell membranes, meaning it has the potential to deliver broad-reaching health benefits throughout the body. Studies to date show that astaxanthin’s ability to reduce and terminate oxidative stress, protect against unwanted inflammation and protect cell structure and function provides health-enhancing properties for the skin, cell cycle, immune health, cardiovascular health, brain function, joints and muscles, energy, gut and liver health.

Each bottle contains 90 softgels. Suggested dose: 1 daily for general health, and up to 2 for intensive support.

Adults & children aged 14+: take 1 softgel daily. For optimal absorption, take with a meal containing fat. For additional support, take 2 softgels daily. Do not exceed the maximum dose.

This product should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Seek professional medical advice before taking any supplement if you are taking medication, pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep out of the reach of children. Store in a cool dry place and away from sunlight.

Ingredients: Cold-pressed extra-virgin olive oil; AstaPure® from Haematococcus pluvialis (H. pluvialis) microalgae (10% astaxanthin); capsule shell (glycerol, modified corn starch, carrageenan, sodium carbonate).

This product is not made with any ingredients containing gluten, wheat, dairy, soya, eggs, fish, shellfish, tree nuts or peanuts. Our manufacturing facilities have strict allergen management procedures in place, however we cannot guarantee that our products are made in allergen-free facilities without the very small risk of trace amounts of cross contamination.

Astaxanthin complex - the king of antioxidants derived from microalgae

Astaxanthin is a natural extract from microalgae Haematococcus Pluvialis (H. Pluvialis) – the same algae responsible for the pink-red pigmentation of wild salmon and crustaceans. As nature’s most potent carotenoid, Astaxanthin has the highest known ORAC value (oxygen radical absorbance capacity) – a measure of its ability to combat oxidative stress. Astaxanthin’s ability to quench free radicals is 6,000 times greater than vitamin C.


The form used in our Astaxanthin Complex, contains the highest available concentration of astaxanthin, as well as a complex of other beneficial carotenoids including lutein and zeaxanthin. In addition to these powerful antioxidants, amino acids and fatty acids also offer a broad range of health benefits, enhance its bioavailability and increase cell membrane stability.

The King of antioxidants

Astaxanthin’s ability to reduce oxidative stress is incredibly strong due to its unique chemical structure, providing additional protection from cellular damage. Most importantly, astaxanthin has an unlimited ability to protect against oxidative damage, without becoming a pro-oxidant during this process like many other antioxidants do. Astaxanthin is also able to span the entire cell membrane providing enhanced antioxidant protection.

Concentrated algae source

Our astaxanthin is sourced from a single-celled green algae, Haematococcus Pluvialis (H. Pluvialis), grown in the Arava desert. The chemical structure and high active ingredient content of our astaxanthin makes it a superior source for achieving enhanced antioxidant support. One softgel delivers 4mg natural astaxanthin derived from 42mg astaxanthin complex oil, providing a 10% concentrated supplement.


Sustainable and pure

Unlike most astaxanthin grown in outdoor ponds, our astaxanthin is cultivated in a climate-controlled, closed system, resulting in exceptionally pure microalgae. This natural source is sustainable and does not negatively affect ecosystems or contain contaminants from the sea. Using a green technology growing process and supercritical CO2 extraction, natural sunlight is used and no harsh chemicals are needed. The production of our astaxanthin therefore has minimal environmental impact, avoids excess heat and ensures a solvent-free pure final product.


Why AstaPure?

  • Concentrated high active ingredient content: The chemical structure and high active ingredient content of AstaPure makes it a superior source of astaxanthin. One capsule delivers 4 mg of natural astaxanthin from 42mg of 10% concentration AstaPure astaxanthin complex oil*. As little as 4mg daily has been shown to deliver health benefits in a range of studies. 
  • Ultra-pure, natural sustainable algae source: AstaPure astaxanthin is sourced from Haematococcus pluvialis (H. Pluvialis), a single-celled green algae, a natural and sustainable source, which does not negatively affect eco systems or contain contaminants from the sea. H. Pluvialis is believed to have the highest capacity to accumulate astaxanthin in nature – it does so naturally when under environmental stress, such as starvation, high salt, elevated temperature, or UV radiation (such as from sunlight). Unlike most astaxanthin, which is grown in outdoor ponds, AstaPure is cultivated in a climate-controlled, closed system in the Arava desert – resulting in exceptionally pure microalgae with consistent high active-ingredient content and quality. 
  • Manufactured using green technology: the ‘Green’ technology growing process and supercritical CO2 extraction use natural sunlight and no harsh chemicals, meaning the production of AstaPure has minimal environmental impact, avoids excess heat and ensures a solvent-free final product, consistently.
