There are no unnecessary additives, our ingredient lists are comprehensive and transparent.

Prioritising effectiveness

The ingredients used in our food supplements have been selected for their recognisable properties and concentration of active ingredients. We use optimum doses for safe and effective use. We favour active ingredients with high bioavailability (which indicates the proportion of active compounds available to produce noticeable reactions) for an effective dose. We also choose natural and certified organic ingredients as much as possible.

Controlled sourcing and traceability

All our superfoods and their suppliers are rigorously selected for their quality and the traceability of their products, respecting the active plant ingredients. These products are controlled according to strict specifications to ensure their microbiological purity and the absence of contaminants (e.g. heavy metals, pesticides).

Our food supplements are manufactured in an expert laboratory with HACCP and ISO 22000 certification, the highest quality system certification for food supplements. Each batch is checked against strict specifications and receives microbiological analyses before release.

Frequently asked questions

No, taking astaxanthin as a food supplement does not cause the skin to turn orange, unlike other carotenoids.

You can take your Organic Astaxanthin capsules at any time of day. But for best absorption, we advise taking this food supplement with a meal, preferably one containing fat, as fat helps the body to absorb astaxanthin.

The recommended dose is one capsule of our Organic Astaxanthin food supplement per day, i.e. 80mg of oleoresin extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis algae, corresponding to 8mg of astaxanthin per day. The efficacy of astaxanthin has been demonstrated in numerous clinical studies on doses ranging from 2 to 16mg per day. An 8mg per day is considered to be potent, optimal and safe for most people. European Regulation 2017/2470 authorises the use of oleoresin extracted from the alga Haematococcus pluvialis as a 'novel food' in food supplements (excluding children and teenagers under the age of 14) at a dose of 40 to 80mg of oleoresin per day, equivalent to a maximum of 8mg of astaxanthin per day.

Astaxanthin is generally taken in 1 to 3-month courses. A pot of 30 capsules corresponds to a 1-month course.

No, astaxanthin food supplements should not be taken during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Astaxanthin should not be consumed by children or teenagers under the age of 14. Our Organic Astaxanthin food supplement is suitable for adults aged 18 and over only.

If you are taking medication at the same time as food supplements, we recommend that you always ask your doctor for advice.

Yes, you can combine urucum (which prepares your skin for sun exposure) with a course of astaxanthin (which combats oxidative damage from sun exposure). These 2 products contain different carotenoids, which can be combined, as long as you don't exceed the maximum dose of 1 capsule of astaxanthin per day and the recommended dose of urucum, which is generally around 1 to 2g maximum per day for raw urucum powder. For concentrated extracts of urucum, refer to the dosage recommended by the manufacturer.

There are no known risks to taking our Organic Astaxanthin with our other food supplements. However, to avoid an overdose of astaxanthin, don't combine it with other astaxanthin-based products. You can identify it in the ingredient lists by its Latin name, Haematococcus pluvialis. Note, this ingredient is often used in sun or vision supplements.

No, unlike beta-carotene-based dietary supplements, which are not recommended for smokers, astaxanthin has no such risks.

No, taking the supplement in this way is not suitable for these capsules.
