BioAstin

Nutrex Hawaii BioAstin® natural astaxanthin represents a 
microalgae breakthrough. Although not a replacement for the 
whole food nutrition of Hawaiian Spirulina, BioAstin represents 
a new class of microalgae products with an antioxidant profile 
and direct functional applications. Nutrex Hawaii is the first 
company to have launched BioAstin™. And, with an estimated 
10,000 species of microalgae, there is a rich variety of 
products supporting human health waiting for discovery. 
BioAstin natural astaxanthin is a human dietary supplement with 
powerful antioxidant benefits. Nutrex Hawaii produces BioAstin 
from microalgae and it was the first source of astaxanthin for 
human nutrition that has been reviewed by the U.S. Food and Drug 
Administration (FDA).

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. 
Research has also shown that natural astaxanthin has up to 550 
times the antioxidant activity of vitamin E and 10 times the 
antioxidant activity of beta-carotene.
