AstaReal is the global pioneer and recognized leader in natural astaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant derived from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis.

With over 35 years of scientific excellence, AstaReal has set the global benchmark for quality, safety, and innovation in astaxanthin production. As one of the most studied and trusted astaxanthin brands globally, AstaReal continues to shape the future of health and wellness, not only for humans, but also for the pets that share our lives. AstaReal astaxanthin is supported by more than 85 published studies in both human and pet health. In humans, research has demonstrated benefits for eye, skin, muscle, cognitive, and immune health.

In pets, studies highlight its ability to support oral care, promote healthy vision, enhance coat and skin condition, maintain mobility, and strengthen immune resilience. This growing body of evidence supports its use in pet formulations designed to promote vitality, mobility, and quality of life. Pets face many of the same health challenges as humans. Such as oxidative stress, inflammation, reduced mobility, and age-related decline. AstaReal’s natural astaxanthin helps counter these changes by protecting cells from oxidative damage, supporting mitochondrial function, and promoting overall wellness. The result is a visible difference in how pets feel, move, and thrive. Helping them stay active, healthy, and full of life. What sets AstaReal apart is our commitment to science and quality.

Our proprietary indoor cultivation and extraction systems are designed to deliver astaxanthin with consistent purity, potency, and stability. With production facilities in Sweden, Japan, and the United States, AstaReal upholds the highest global standards for quality, safety, and regulatory compliance in both human and pet applications.
