What Is Astaxanthin? Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid, discovered in 1972 by London Basil Weedon, and is found in shrimp, krill, salmon and the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis (a cultured microalgae that is a rich natural source of Astaxanthin approved for use in human dietary supplements in the US, the EU, Japan, Korea and many other areas in the world). Read More Vertical Integration & Our Alimtec Partnership Our microalgae are produced by our sister company, Alimtec S.A., located in Chile. Alimtec is an algal growing facility dedicated to producing astaxanthin-rich Haematococcus pluvialis (H. pluvialis) biomass. The Alimtec plant is located in the beautiful Elqui valley, about 35 minutes from La Serena. The plant maintains primary cultures and inoculum under sterile conditions in a specialized laboratory environment which supports initial production of the algae in closed greenhouse systems throughout the initial green growth phase. The resulting inoculum is then transferred to open ponds where the green phase reaches appropriate population density under the watchful eye of the highly-experienced staff. Red phase maturation induction then occurs utilizing a series of cascaded open ponds to complete the maturation, astaxanthin development and subsequent harvesting cycle. The Biomass is then concentrated, cracked in specialized equipment and is dried to preserve the Astaxanthin content in the biomass. The product is then granulated and vacuum packaged for use in our supercritical CO2 extraction system located in Eustis, Florida. The entire Alimtec production capacity is used by Valensa to support our astaxanthin product offerings throughout the world. Alimtec S.A. and U.S. Nutraceuticals LLC, d/b/a Valensa International are both owned by EID Parry, a leading global manufacturer, exporter and marketer of certified organic spirulina, natural lycopene and other carotenoids. Hybrid closed and open system for efficient processing of Haematococcus pluvialis The entire Alimtec production capacity is used by Valensa to support our astaxanthin product offerings throughout the world.
