At this year\u2019s Vitafoods trade show, global natural astaxanthin supplier AstaReal unveiled a novel algae-based formula that combines two potent ingredients from microalgae: the company\u2019s flagship natural astaxanthin product along with omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from French firm Polaris. The sustainable, plant-based and vegan formulation sparked significant interest among show attendees.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The science-backed formula marries the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis<\/em> microalgae with the cell membrane support and physical performance enhancement of omega-3s EPA and DHA from Schizochytrium microalgae. AstaReal highlighted over 70 clinical trials demonstrating the potential health impacts of its natural astaxanthin.<\/p>\n

Meeting market demand for scientifically-validated, plant-based nutrition<\/strong><\/h2>\n

According to AstaReal, Vitafoods saw surging interest in plant-based, immunity-boosting ingredients with strong scientific substantiation. Formulations and delivery formats like softgels, gummies, drinks and powder mixes were particularly sought after for applications in sports nutrition, women\u2019s health, gut health, and products targeting sleep, stress and other lifestyle factors.<\/p>\n

Peter Ahlm, Astareal head of marketing & sales, commented: \u201cOur novel, double-microalgae formula confirms the compatibility of the two health-promoting and potent algae-based ingredients: algal astaxanthin and algal omega-3s. We were thrilled to see that it fits perfectly with so many essential trends and sparked the interest of the specialised audience.\u201d<\/p>\n
