Algalif and Divi’s Nutraceuticals have joined their expertise to develop highly concentrated beadlets of sustainable natural astaxanthin. Algalif’s production process, located in Iceland, uses renewable energy and provides highly concentrated premium astaxanthin oleoresin naturally sourced from microalgae. Divi’s takes advantage of its expertise in fat-soluble ingredient formulation to transform this oleoresin into exclusive, highly concentrated AstaBead beadlets that contain 5% astaxanthin.
AstaBead beadlets allow easy handling and show excellent performance in applications. AstaBead comes in two formulations. The first form enables the production of tablets by direct compression without oil extrusion or discoloration. It can also be used in hard-gelatin capsules and nutritional bars. The second form is a fast-dispersing astaxanthin benefiting from Divi’s innovative CaroQuik formulation. It is suitable for fortified powdered beverages, whether packaged in canisters or today’s popular sticks and disperser caps.
Astaxanthin is known to be the most powerful antioxidant, with health benefits supported by a compelling body of scientific studies. Astaxanthin belongs to the carotenoid family called xanthophylls and is a red pigment found in algae, yeast, bacteria and fungi. Astaxanthin is naturally occurring in foods such as salmon; unfortunately, the levels in the diet are not comparable to dose levels recommended to experience the most health benefits, which are related to supplementation and food fortification.
Based in Iceland, Algalif is a leading supplier of high-grade natural astaxanthin products from microalgae, including ingredients and finished formulations. Their mission is to help solve the nutritional needs of current and future generations through the development and delivery of sustainable, high-quality microalgae ingredients. Algalif is committed to providing a reliable supply of high-quality, pure, sustainable astaxanthin from algae. Their indoor production process is designed to deliver high yields of premium astaxanthin using pure Icelandic water and renewable energy.
Divi’s Nutraceuticals is a global manufacturer and supplier of over 80 forms of carotenoids and vitamins. The company was founded in 2006 as a subsidiary of Divi’s Laboratories, a leading global supplier of active pharmaceuticals (APIs) and intermediates. Divi’s is fully dedicated to quality and innovation with a team of over 400 scientists who make up their Quality, Research and Development departments.
