1.6 Servings of Salmon a day, or AstaReal®

Making Healthy Choices With AstaReal®

Many nutrients are not easy to obtain from diet alone, including astaxanthin. For example, to get the recommended 6mg of astaxanthin every day, you would need to consume a lot of wild caught raw salmon: 1.6 servings of Sockeye, 2.9 servings of Coho, or 12 servings of King daily. That doesn’t leave a lot of room for variety in your diet, it isn’t easy on the wallet, and leads to dietary exposure to persistent organic pollutants (POPs) and mercury. POPs accumulate in the fatty flesh of the salmon we eat, and once consumed, it takes years to clear POPs from the human body. Exposure to dietary POPs poses serious health risks, including an increased risk for type 2 diabetes. This is why at AstaReal®, we grow our algae in a controlled indoor environment where pollutants are filtered away from both the water and the air in which our algae are cultivated. Growing algae in this clean environment ensures that our AstaReal® astaxanthin is the safest and highest quality natural source of astaxanthin.
