Naturally Rid those Radicals*
A price-competitive, natural, premium astaxanthin from Chile’s Atacama Desert.
NatAxtinTM 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.
