AstaReal® EL25 is a modified starch microencapsulated version of AstaReal® L10 containing 2.5% astaxanthin. This powerful antioxidant is derived from green microalga Haematococcus pluvialis through a proprietary solvent-free supercritical fluid carbon dioxide extraction method. As a microencapsulated powder, it is easily water dispersible for use in beverages and food supplement formulations. AstaReal® EL25 supports skin hydration, elasticity, and smoothness, to heal skin on a deeper level, to protect collagen, support skin structure, and promote circulation. It also helps to improve eye health by increasing ocular blood flow and improving its antioxidant capacity for enhanced depth perception, focus range, and speed.
