Astaxanthin is extremely important both from the environment as well as the body point of view across different markets. Astaxanthin is a powerful, naturally occurring carotenoid pigment that's found in certain marine plants and animals. Often called "the king of the carotenoids," Astaxanthin is recognized as being one of the most powerful ROS Scavenger found in nature. It is of particular significance, because unlike some other types of ROS Scavengers, Astaxanthin never becomes a pro-oxidant in the body so it can never cause harmful oxidation.

Nitin Sinha, Managing Director, Nutressent said that our partnership with AstaReal is a significant start milestone for Nutressent which will promote wellness through preventive healthcare under the HealthnUs brand. HealthnUs aims to promote preventive health through innovative, effective and responsible nutrition. He shared further that this comes at a point when the world is moving towards naturally occurring products, and with Astaxanthin and unique complimentary ingredients to astaxanthin, consumers will get access to a naturally occurring super-ROS Scavengers. With this partnership we will be able to cater to latent demands for effective nutraceuticals. Japanese technology, know-how and trainings will enable us to deliver to a high quality product in India.

Eric Caston, General Manager, AstaReal Japan, said that we are extremely delighted about our partnership with Nutrassent as it will bring the most powerful, naturally occurring ROS Scavengers to consumers. We will also be contributing scientific research and knowledge on natural astaxanthin to the Nutressent Academy of Advanced ROS Scavenger Studies. We believe the academy will add significant value to research in the field of ROS Scavengers, their studies, and their benefits.

The purpose of this collaboration is in driving unique formulations on high science which will be exclusive property of Nutressent and based on science and technical knowledge contributed by AstaReal.
