BioAstin Natural Hawaiian Astaxanthin

Powerful Antioxidant Protection at the Cellular Level

BioAstin® Hawaiian Astaxanthin® provides a highly potent natural antioxidant that helps defend the body against oxidative stress while supporting cellular health throughout the body. Astaxanthin’s unique molecular structure allows it to span the entire cell membrane, helping protect both the water-soluble and fat-soluble portions of cells from free radical damage. This unique ability allows astaxanthin to help protect the entire cell from oxidative stress.†

Unlike many antioxidants, astaxanthin can cross the blood-brain barrier and blood-retinal barrier, allowing antioxidant protection to reach sensitive tissues such as the brain, nervous system, and eyes. It can also reach the mitochondria—the energy-producing centers of the cell—helping protect these critical structures from oxidative stress while supporting healthy cellular energy production.†

BioAstin Hawaiian Astaxanthin is derived from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis and cultivated on the pristine Kona Coast of Hawaii. This carefully controlled cultivation process produces a high-quality natural astaxanthin source that supports cellular resilience, a healthy inflammatory response, and overall wellness.†

Astaxanthin Antioxidant Support Across the Body

BioAstin® Hawaiian Astaxanthin® is the original flagship astaxanthin supplement developed by Nutrex Hawaii and the foundation of the entire Astin product line.

Often referred to as the “king of the carotenoids,” astaxanthin is widely regarded as one of the most powerful natural antioxidants discovered to date and is known for its exceptional antioxidant strength. Research suggests it may be significantly more powerful than many well-known antioxidants and can help protect cells from oxidative damage throughout the body.

Because astaxanthin integrates into cell membranes and helps protect mitochondria from oxidative stress, it provides antioxidant support across multiple organ systems including the brain, eyes, skin, joints, and cardiovascular system.†

Astaxanthin – The King of the Carotenoids

Often referred to as “the king of the carotenoids,” astaxanthin is recognized as one of the most powerful natural antioxidants discovered to date. Research suggests that astaxanthin provides significantly greater antioxidant activity than many well-known antioxidants.

Studies indicate that astaxanthin may be:

• 100× stronger than Vitamin E
• 10–20× stronger than beta-carotene
• 800× stronger than CoQ10
• Up to 6,000× stronger than Vitamin C

Unlike some antioxidants, astaxanthin does not become pro-oxidant in the body. This means it continues to provide antioxidant protection without reversing its role under certain conditions, making it especially valuable for supporting long-term cellular health and healthy aging.†

One of astaxanthin’s most unique characteristics is its molecular structure, which allows it to span the entire cell membrane. Because it contains both water-soluble and fat-soluble ends, astaxanthin can protect the full thickness of the cell membrane—something most antioxidants cannot do.†

Astaxanthin is also able to cross important biological barriers such as the blood-brain barrier and the blood-retinal barrier, allowing antioxidant protection to reach sensitive tissues including the brain, nervous system, and eyes.†

In addition, astaxanthin can reach the mitochondria—the energy-producing centers of the cell—helping protect them from oxidative stress and supporting healthy cellular energy production.†

More About Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment responsible for the red coloration seen in salmon, shrimp, crab, lobster, and the pink color of flamingos. In nature, this powerful antioxidant originates from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis.

This microalgae produces astaxanthin as a protective compound to defend itself from harsh environmental conditions such as intense sunlight and oxidative stress.

Astaxanthin can be obtained in small amounts from certain foods such as salmon, but the concentration in most foods is relatively low. In fact, a person would need to consume several pounds of salmon each day to obtain the same amount of astaxanthin found in a single 12 mg serving.

Because astaxanthin used in these products is derived from microalgae rather than seafood, it contains no fish or shellfish byproducts, making it suitable for vegetarian and vegan formulations.

Why Hawaiian Astaxanthin Is Unique

Hawaiian Astaxanthin is derived from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, cultivated on the Kona Coast of Hawaii. Nutrex Hawaii produces the only farm-grown astaxanthin in the United States, grown under carefully controlled conditions that help ensure purity, potency, and sustainability.

The Kona Coast provides ideal growing conditions for microalgae, including abundant year-round sunlight, a stable tropical climate, and access to pure freshwater drawn from deep Hawaiian aquifers. These natural advantages allow Nutrex Hawaii to cultivate high-quality natural astaxanthin using environmentally responsible farming practices.

The Nutrex Hawaii microalgae farm is considered a BioSecure Zone, meaning it is free from harmful pesticides, herbicides, and genetically modified organisms. Their cultivation process is designed to protect both the environment and product quality while minimizing land impact and water waste.

Fresh water used in the cultivation process is naturally filtered through volcanic lava rock and drawn from pristine Hawaiian aquifers. Much of the water is recycled and returned to the growing ponds to conserve resources and support sustainable production.

These unique environmental conditions and cultivation practices help produce one of the purest and most carefully cultivated sources of natural astaxanthin available.

Natural vs Synthetic Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin exists in both natural and synthetic forms. Natural astaxanthin is produced by the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, while synthetic astaxanthin is typically manufactured through chemical processes and is commonly used in aquaculture to color farmed salmon and other seafood.

Natural astaxanthin contains a complex mixture of stereoisomers and esterified forms similar to the astaxanthin found in nature. These naturally occurring forms help contribute to the stability and biological activity of natural astaxanthin when consumed as a dietary supplement.

In contrast, synthetic astaxanthin has a different stereoisomer profile and is primarily produced for use in animal feed rather than human dietary supplements. For this reason, natural astaxanthin derived from microalgae is generally preferred for nutritional supplementation.

Astaxanthin used in BioAstin® Hawaiian Astaxanthin® is sourced from microalgae cultivated on the Kona Coast of Hawaii. This natural source provides astaxanthin in a form that closely resembles the astaxanthin found in nature while supporting purity, quality, and sustainability.

Safety & Side Effects of Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin has been widely studied and is generally considered safe when taken at recommended doses. Reported side effects are typically mild and uncommon.

Possible mild effects may include:

• Slight change in skin pigmentation (a light orange tint)
• Orange-red coloration of stool at very high doses

Studies have reported no toxic side effects even at high intake levels.†

Less common reported effects may include:

• Hair growth changes
• Changes in hormone levels
• Allergic reactions
• Decreased calcium levels
• Low blood pressure

As with any dietary supplement, individuals taking prescription medications—especially medications used to treat blood pressure, allergies, or asthma—should consult a healthcare professional before use.

More About Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid, which is a pigment in nature. Astaxanthin is the red pigment found in salmon, shrimp, crab, and even the pink color in flamingos. It is also found in krill, algae, red trout, and lobster. BioAstin Hawaiian Astaxanthin is derived from microalgae called Haematococcus pluvialis. It is grown on land in controlled, fresh-water ponds and contains no fish or shellfish byproducts.

There are several ways to incorporate more astaxanthin into one's diet, such as eating foods naturally rich in antioxidants like salmon. But even though salmon has the highest concentration of any food, you'd have to eat over three pounds each day of most salmon species to get the equivalent amount of Astaxanthin in one 12 mg capsule!

While astaxanthin is found naturally in the wild in the form of the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, the astaxanthin that is used to make Nutrex Hawaii's BioAstin is extracted from hygienically grown microalgae harvested on the pristine Kona Coast of Hawaii's Big Island.

Astaxanthin Side Effects

Though the side effects of using astaxanthin are mild, here is a list of those you may want to be aware of. These are generally reported side effects and are not necessarily those directly associated with the Nutrex Hawaii product.

Most common side effects include:

• slight change in pigmentation (orange tint on skin)
• orange-red stool with very high doses
• NO toxic side-effects even with extremely high doses†

Infrequent side effects:

• hair growth
• changes in hormone levels
• allergic reactions
• decrease in calcium levels
• low blood pressure

Warning: As always, consult your doctor for possible drug interactions if you are taking any prescription or OTC medications, especially those intended to lower blood pressure, or treat allergies or asthma.

More About Astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid, which is a pigment in nature. Astaxanthin is the red pigment found in salmon, shrimp, crab, and even the pink color in flamingos. It is also found in krill, algae, red trout, and lobster. BioAstin Hawaiian Astaxanthin is derived from microalgae called Haematococcus pluvialis. It is grown on land in controlled, fresh-water ponds and contains no fish or shellfish byproducts.

There are several ways to incorporate more astaxanthin into one's diet, such as eating foods naturally rich in antioxidants like salmon. But even though salmon has the highest concentration of any food, you'd have to eat over three pounds each day of most salmon species to get the equivalent amount of Astaxanthin in one 12 mg capsule!

While astaxanthin is found naturally in the wild in the form of the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, the astaxanthin that is used to make Nutrex Hawaii's BioAstin is extracted from hygienically grown microalgae harvested on the pristine Kona Coast of Hawaii's Big Island.

Astaxanthin Side Effects

Though the side effects of using astaxanthin are mild, here is a list of those you may want to be aware of. These are generally reported side effects and are not necessarily those directly associated with the Nutrex Hawaii product.

Most common side effects include:

• slight change in pigmentation (orange tint on skin)
• orange-red stool with very high doses
• NO toxic side-effects even with extremely high doses†

Infrequent side effects:

• hair growth
• changes in hormone levels
• allergic reactions
• decrease in calcium levels
• low blood pressure

Warning: As always, consult your doctor for possible drug interactions if you are taking any prescription or OTC medications, especially those intended to lower blood pressure, or treat allergies or asthma.

About Nutrex Hawaii and Their Astaxanthin

About Nutrex Hawaii

Nutrex Hawaii was founded in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii in 1990 by Dr. Gerald Cysewski, a world-renowned expert in microalgae and carotenoids. Their mission is to utilize the benefits of microalgae to improve health and extend lives in the worldwide community. Carved out of land once a barren lava flow, Nutrex Hawaii is located on the pristine Kona coast on the Big Island of Hawaii. Their farm draws on the natural resources surrounding them - abundant warm sunlight, pure deep ocean water, and 100% fresh water drawn from Hawaiian aquifers.

How long has BioAstin been on the market?

In August 1999, BioAstin completed a review by the FDA without objection and was allowed to be sold in the United States as a human dietary supplement. A growing body of scientific literature demonstrates that natural Astaxanthin surpasses many of the antioxidant benefits of Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Beta-Carotene, and other carotenoids.

Nutrex Hawaii Location

Sourcing location plays a significant role in the quality of astaxanthin, and Hawaii's Kona coast offers optimum growing conditions, thanks to its pristine, nutrient-rich waters, heavenly climate, and 12 months of generous sunlight. This trio of environmental factors enables the astaxanthin used in BioAstin Supreme to be of the highest quality and potency possible.

BioSecure Zone

The BioAstin microalgae farm in Hawaii is considered a BioSecure Zone. This means it is completely free of harmful pesticides, herbicides, and genetically modified organisms, and does not generate land erosion or water pollution. Their products are safe, pure, and guaranteed Non-GMO and BSE-Free. BioAstin has GRAS status (is recognized as safe by the US FDA).

100% Potable Drinking Water

Their products are grown with 100% potable drinking water, collected from the Big Island's pristine aquifer. After being naturally filtered through lava rock, this water is as fresh as it gets. To minimize water waste and return essential nutrients into their growing ponds, most fresh water is recycled and returned to the pond for the next growing cycle. This process contributes to providing the world's most nutritious Astaxanthin.

Environmental Responsibility & Sustainability

Nutrex Hawaii's corporate philosophy is to leave the land and environment in better condition than when they started. What does this mean for the consumer? You can feel good about purchasing products from a company that does everything possible to protect the environment.

BioAstin Natural Hawaiian Astaxanthin - A Healthy Aging Antioxidant

As one of nature's most powerful antioxidants, BioAstin Hawaiian Astaxanthin naturally reduces free radicals in the body. It also significantly reduces the oxidative load in the body by protecting the cells against oxidation. This red-colored pigment is very effective against singlet oxygen. It has a powerful scavenging ability for lipids and free radicals, and effectively breaks peroxide chain reactions. All this adds up to super anti-aging power. The 12mg BioAstin Natural Hawaiian Astaxanthin one-per-day formula has the highest potency levels of Astaxanthin per gel cap available today.

Astaxanthin has been documented to show a wide range of benefits in human clinical studies on several serious health concerns. This super-antioxidant is capable of protecting the central nervous system, the brain, the eyes, the cardiovascular system, and more. BioAstin Hawaiian Astaxanthin supports a healthy oxidative balance, which can improve health conditions.

• Supports cardiovascular health†
• Supports brain health†
• Protects cells from oxidative damage†
• Supports joint and tendon health†
• Supports skin health†
• Protects the nervous system from oxidative damage†
• Supports eye health†
• Supports anti-aging through cellular health†
• Supports healthy immune function†
• Can provide increased strength†
• Supports the body in recovery from exercise†
• Shown to reduce wrinkles and improve skin moisture levels†

Due to its molecular structure, Astaxanthin is one of the few antioxidants that can move throughout the body and protect all of our cells†. Astaxanthin has the unique property of protecting the entire cell, both the water-soluble and fat-soluble parts. It has polar hydrophilic ends that span across the entire cell membrane. Most other well-known antioxidants cannot do this. It can travel throughout the body and protect cells in all our organs, muscles, and tissues.†

Astaxanthin - The King of the Carotenoids

Anyone with knowledge about the benefits of antioxidants knows that Nutrex Hawaii’s BioAstin Hawaiian Astaxanthin gel caps are a must. No other supplement offers the same level of antioxidant benefits as BioAstin Astaxanthin. Often called "the king of the carotenoids," astaxanthin is 10 to 100 times more potent than other carotenoids like beta-carotene and lycopene. Plus, unlike several different antioxidants, astaxanthin does not become pro-oxidant in the body. This makes it one of the most potent antioxidants for ingesting. Add it to your anti-aging regimen.

Potency of Astaxanthin

• 100 times stronger as an antioxidant than Vitamin E
• 10 to 20 times stronger than beta carotene
• 800 times stronger as an antioxidant than CoQ10
• 6000 times stronger as an antioxidant than Vitamin C

Over 200 scientific studies have attested to the power of Astaxanthin and Nutrex Hawaii has compounded it into one daily gel cap. This new formula is ideal for everyone, especially athletes or individuals with certain health conditions.
