Product Overview: Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract

Haematococcus pluvialis is a freshwater unicellular green alga, belonging to the phylum Chlorophyta, class Chlorophyceae, family Haematococcaceae, genus Haematococcus. Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract is a functional pigment with bright red color and strong pigment deposition ability. Compared with other carotenoids such as β-carotene, lutein and zeaxanthin, fish and poultry have much higher efficiency in absorbing and accumulating Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract. This alga can accumulate a large amount of astaxanthin and turn red under specific conditions, hence the name Haematococcus pluvialis (also known as “blood rain alga”).

Core Feature: Natural Astaxanthin “Concentrate”

Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract is the most abundant natural source of astaxanthin, with an astaxanthin content that can reach 3.0% of dry weight or even higher, earning it the title of natural astaxanthin “Concentrate”. It is widely recognized as the best biological source of natural astaxanthin.

The synthesis mechanism of astaxanthin in Haematococcus pluvialis is closely related to the growth environment: when the alga grows in harsh environments (such as excessively low pH and temperature that are not conducive to growth), it will stop reproduction and start producing a large amount of astaxanthin to cope with the harsh stage, and the cells will turn red accordingly. Our extract fully retains this high-content astaxanthin through advanced extraction technology.

Core Functions & Efficacy of Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract

1. Super Antioxidant Activity

Astaxanthin, the core active ingredient in the extract, is the strongest antioxidant found in nature that inhibits free radical absorption. As an oxygen-containing carotenoid derivative (one of more than 600 carotenoids), its antioxidant activity is10 times that of carotenoids and 550 times that of vitamin E, known as the “Super Oxidant”. It can effectively scavenge free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative damage to cells, and protect cell integrity.

2. Comprehensive Health Protection

Enhance Immunity: It can regulate the body’s immune system, enhance the activity of immune cells, and improve the body’s resistance to external stimuli and pathogens.
Inhibit Tumor Occurrence: The strong antioxidant effect of astaxanthin can inhibit the oxidative damage of DNA and the abnormal proliferation of cells, thereby exerting a preventive effect on tumor occurrence.
Delay Aging: By scavenging free radicals and reducing oxidative stress, it can delay the aging process of the body, improve skin elasticity and luster, and slow down the appearance of aging signs.
Protect Multiple Organs: It can specifically protect the health of the eyes, liver and central nervous system. For the eyes, it can relieve eye fatigue and protect retinal health; for the liver, it can reduce liver cell damage caused by oxidation and toxins; for the central nervous system, it can protect nerve cells and maintain neurological function stability.
