Algamo s.r.o.

Astaxanthin in our products comes exclusively from the production of the Czech company Algamo s.r.o. The production is located in the foothills of the Krkonoše Mountains and since 2011 it has been specializing in the ecological cultivation of the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis rich in astaxanthin.

Algamo has the most technologically advanced plant, which produces natural algae containing astaxanthin according to European and American standards for ecological operation. It is the Czech astaxanthin that ranks among the world's best in terms of quality.

More about ALGAMO

Green Phase

The cultivation process is divided into two phases. The first is the so-called green phase. In that phase, the alga multiplies and grows until it has the required parameters, which takes 7 months. At this stage, the microalgae are green, hence the apt name "green phase".

Red Phase

Once the algae meet the required parameters, they are pumped to the second floor of the Algamo plant, where the so-called red phase begins. By changing the conditions (including the UV radiation), astaxanthin, a red pigment, begins to concentrate in the algae. Within 6 days, the green alga turns into a brick red thanks to the astaxanthin contained. Once the astaxanthin content is 5%, it is time to harvest the algae.

Processing

After harvesting, the algae are grounded and the resulting emulsion is dried to form a fine brick red powder.

Raw Materials

Dried algae can be purchased as a dietary supplement both as a powder and in vegan capsules. Red algae containing astaxanthin can also be used as an ingredient in other dietary supplements. A valuable ingredient in various food supplements and cosmetics is oleoresin - oil pressed from algae with an astaxanthin content of 5-10%.
