Technical Details & Test Data
- Product Extraction
Divi’s Astaxanthin is naturally sourced from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. The microalgae are grown in a 3-step process in a totally closed system:
- The purpose of the first phase is to grow a healthy biomass.
- During the next stage, the algae are exposed to stressors such as extreme sunlight and starvation. As a response to these stressful environmental condition, the algae produce Astaxanthin, in order to preserve their DNA in an undamaged state, and turn a deep red color.
- After this phase the biomass is dried and the Astaxanthin is extracted from the Haematococcus pluvialis using only carbon dioxide.
The result is a vivid red carotenoid which is then formulated into beadlets for easy handling.
