Algalif, based in Iceland, stands out as an innovative biotechnology company specializing in cultivating and producing natural Astaxanthin, a potent antioxidant derived from microalgae. Astaxanthin, a vibrant red-orange carotenoid pigment from the xanthophyll family, is well-known for its diverse health benefits and is commonly found in marine organisms like salmon, shrimp, and krill.
Algalif focuses on sustainable cultivation of Haematococcus pluvialis, a microalga strain known for its high Astaxanthin content. Through a natural process of Astaxanthin accumulation triggered by environmental stress, this microalga yields a robust antioxidant that effectively shields cells from oxidative damage.
Astalif™, Algalif's flagship product, offers premium Astaxanthin oleoresin in concentrations of 5% and 10%. This versatile ingredient finds applications beyond food supplements, extending to functional foods, beverages, and cosmetics.
Astaxanthin's diverse health benefits make it a sought-after component in beauty from within sector of supplements, promoting anti-aging, improved skin elasticity, and protection against UV-induced damage. Astalif™ harnesses Astaxanthin's cardiovascular benefits, aiding in promoting healthy lipid profiles and alleviating oxidative stress on the cardiovascular system. Its anti-inflammatory properties position it as a potential solution for conditions related to inflammation, such as arthritis. In sports nutrition, Astaxanthin's potential shines through in Astalif™, enhancing endurance, reducing muscle soreness, and improving exercise performance by mitigating exercise-induced oxidative stress and inflammation.

Additionally, Algalif proudly promotes Nutramunity™ Beta-Glucan, which is renowned for its immune-enhancing properties. This natural compound is known to stimulate and modulate the immune system, promoting a robust defense against infections and diseases. Through its interaction with immune cells, particularly macrophages, beta-glucan activates a cascade of responses that enhance the body's ability to recognize and eliminate pathogens. Research suggests that regular consumption of yeast beta-glucan may contribute to improved immune function, making it a valuable component in promoting overall health and resilience.
