Key Features

Naturally Rid those Radicals*

A price-competitive, natural, premium astaxanthin from Chile’s Atacama Desert.

NatAxtin^TM is produced from Haematococcus pluvialis grown in a pristine desert environment. Striving for sustainable and natural harvesting, a proprietary process harvests atmospheric CO₂ to support H. pluvialis metabolism.

In conjunction with the highest solar irradiance on the planet, the algae are able to produce pure, high quality astaxanthin, which is extracted via energy-efficient, environmentally-friendly supercritical CO₂ extraction.
