LEARN MORE ABOUT ASTAXANTHIN

Understanding 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 antioxidant originates from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis.

This microalgae produces astaxanthin as a protective compound that helps it withstand 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. For example, a person would need to consume large amounts of salmon to obtain the same level of astaxanthin typically provided in a concentrated dietary supplement.

Because the 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 farm-grown astaxanthin in the United States under carefully controlled conditions designed to 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 a carefully cultivated source of natural astaxanthin.

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 that closely resemble the molecular structure of astaxanthin found in microalgae. These naturally occurring forms 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, providing astaxanthin in a form that closely resembles the astaxanthin found in nature.

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

Less common reported effects may include:

• Hair growth changes
• Minor hormonal changes
• Allergic reactions
• Decreased calcium levels
• Low blood pressure

As with any dietary supplement, individuals taking prescription medications should consult a healthcare professional before using this product.

Muscle Ease - Redd Remedies

Feed your strength, hit your goals, and care for your muscles with Muscle Ease™—a high-quality magnesium-based formula designed to support productive muscle function and overall mobility.†

When your muscles are strong and healthy, life is more enjoyable, and more activities are within reach. As we age, maintaining healthy muscle function not only supports an active lifestyle but also helps protect against injuries and falls.

Master Herbalist formulated, Muscle Ease™ nourishes muscles with the essential nutrients they crave so they can perform at their best.†

Why Choose Muscle Ease™

• Provides magnesium and potassium for easy absorption†
• Helps muscles relax and recover naturally†
• Nourishes and balances muscles with essential minerals†
• Includes relaxing, nutrient-rich herbs†
• Delivers whole-food trace minerals from organic alfalfa and organic dulse—nutrients from both land and sea†

Muscle Ease™ is like a multivitamin for your muscles—delivering the nutrition your body needs to move, flex, and relax.

How It Works

Healthy muscles are essential for strength, balance, and mobility. Yet many typical diets lack the nutrients required for proper contraction and relaxation.

• Sodium and calcium (often over-consumed) trigger contraction and can contribute to cramping.
• Magnesium and potassium (often under-consumed) support relaxation, helping muscles release tension and recover.

Nerve-muscle impulses depend on this balance: sodium and potassium move the impulse, while magnesium and calcium drive the contraction and relaxation process.

Muscle Ease™ provides targeted support with magnesium, potassium, and a unique trace mineral blend from organic alfalfa and organic dulse. Together, these nutrients restore balance and promote healthier muscle function.*

Key Ingredients in Muscle Ease

Magnesium and Potassium are essential for proper muscle function and relaxation.† Muscle Ease™ is a magnesium-based formula that includes:†

• Magnesium rice protein chelate, a uniquely absorbable form of the mineral
• Magnesium glycinate, which is chelated or bonded to glycine, a primary calming neurotransmitter

Angelica (Dong Quai) and White (Chinese) Peony provide support for muscle function.†

Chinese Skullcap, along with Angelica and White Peony, works to harmonize and support the body's muscles.†

Alfalfa and Dulse are nutrient-dense foods rich in minerals essential to muscle function.†

Master Herbalist Formulated

ESC® is one of nature's purest and most absorbable forms of calcium. In Bone Health Advanced™, this powerful ingredient is formulated together with Vitamin D and Magnesium to improve the quality and integrity of your bones.†

ESC®, a highly absorbable form of calcium, is combined with other naturally occurring trace minerals and transporter proteins in this formula to ensure your bones get the calcium they need.* ESC®, Eggshell Calcium, provides a non-dairy, whole-food source of calcium to enhance bioavailability and absorption.†

Key Ingredients

ESC® Eggshell Calcium
ESC® Eggshell Calcium is one of nature’s purest and most absorbable forms of calcium, and it comes from one of nature’s most ingenious packages – the egg. The bioavailability of

calcium is assisted by transporter proteins, or “chaperones,” naturally found in eggshells. These proteins and the natural presence of supporting minerals such as strontium, zinc, phosphorus, and copper make ESC® an easily digestible, superior source of calcium.†

Vitamin D
Vitamin D, in the form of cholecalciferol, is the most effective form of Vitamin D. It supports calcium absorption in the gut and helps maintain bone health.†

MenaQ7® Vitamin K2
As menaquinone-7, this is the most bioavailable, longest-lasting, and most bioactive form of vitamin K. Vitamin K2 is essential for binding calcium to the bone matrix and promotes healthy bone mineral content.†

Magnesium Rice Protein Chelate
Magnesium Rice Protein Chelate is a superior form of magnesium bound to rice's nine essential amino acids for easy absorption. Magnesium supports healthy smooth muscle function in the cardiovascular system.† It also assists in hundreds of crucial cellular reactions and is required to transport potassium. Think of magnesium as potassium’s BFF.

Boron
A highly bioavailable form of the mineral (as boron rice protein chelate), boron supports healthy bone mineralization and is required for bone growth and maintenance.†
