AlgaeAsta™ - Leading with Natural Astaxanthin

Discover the power of AlgaeAsta™ Astaxanthin, derived 100% from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis using the latest cultivation technology. Our natural astaxanthin outperforms its synthetic counterpart in terms of efficacy and safety, making it the right choice for health-conscious consumers. 


Overview

Iconthin Biotech utilizes advanced cultivation technologies to produce premium-quality astaxanthin. We've evolved from the 1st generation open raceway ponds, which were susceptible to contamination, to the 2nd generation tubular photobioreactors, which provided better control over the microalgae environment. Our current 3rd generation closed bioreactors offer year-round production, higher astaxanthin concentrations, and contaminant-free products. 


By harnessing the potential of Haematococcus pluvialis and employing innovative cell-wall disruption and green extraction methods, such as Supercritical CO2, we deliver premium astaxanthin products at competitive prices, perfect for use in nutraceutical, cosmetic, functional food and animal feed applications. 

Comparison of Cultivation Technologies

Raceway pond cultivation of haematococcus pluvialis for astaxanthin

1st Generation - Open Raceway Pond

This traditional method of microalgae cultivation is prone to contamination and offers limited control over the microalgae living environment, resulting in lower productivity and inferior product quality. 

Tubular PBR of haematococcus pluvialis for astaxanthin production

2nd Generation - Tubular Photobioreactor

This advanced system eliminates contaminants and provides better control over the microalgae living environment compared to open raceway ponds, resulting in higher productivity and improved product quality. However, this method relies on weather and location to activate astaxanthin production in microalgal cells, which can be limiting. 

3rd Generation - Closed Bioreactors

Iconthin Biotech utilizes the latest generation of closed bioreactor systems, which do not rely on weather and location for astaxanthin production. These state-of-the-art systems enable year-round astaxanthin production with high concentrations and contaminant-free products, providing the most efficient and effective method for cultivating Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae.
