The best known of these are flamingos, which are actually white by nature. Only when they eat algae or crustaceans containing carotenoids do their feathers acquire their characteristic pink color. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the organisms that produce astaxanthin, it fulfills several important functions. In salmon, the carotenoid ensures faster muscle regeneration during their exhausting upstream journey. \u003cbr\u003eOverall, it acts as an antioxidant, protecting the cells from oxidative stress. Algae in particular - especially the blood rain algae (Haematococcus pluvialis) - produce large quantities of the nutrient under UV stress. It protects them from intense solar radiation, which is vital for them if they live on or just below the surface of the water. Astaxanthin is therefore very popular in the cosmetics industry. Due to its antioxidant properties, it is often used in skin care products to protect the skin from environmental damage and reduce signs of ageing. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGSE uses the blood rain algae Haematococcus pluvialis for its Astaxanthin + Selenium and Astaxanthin Oleoresin products. It belongs to the class of microalgae and is known for its impressive red color. It is cultivated organically in glass tube photobioreactors and the purest mountain spring water in the Krkonose Mountains National Park in the Czech Republic. Thanks to this state-of-the-art process, our astaxanthin achieves an unusually high concentration of at least 5% in the microalgae biomass.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese products from GSE contain astaxanthin: \u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"astaxanthin-selen-bio","title":"Astaxanthin + selenium (organic)","description":"\u003ch3\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eFood supplement with natural astaxanthin from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis and selenium from mustard seeds\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"letter-spacing: 0px;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSelenium helps to protect cells from oxidative stress\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blood rain algae (Haematococcus pluvialis) is a microalgae known for its impressive red coloration, which it increasingly produces under difficult living conditions as a protective reaction. Responsible for this is the carotenoid astaxanthin, which is also found in various types of fruit and vegetables and also causes the characteristic coloration of salmon and flamingos, for example. The natural selenium for our BIO Astaxanthin + Selenium capsules comes from an organic mustard seed extract. Black mustard (Brassica nigra) is a plant species from the genus Brassica in the cruciferous family (Brassicaceae). Selenium helps to protect cells from oxidative stress. The grape seed concentrate powder comes exclusively from grapes cultivated according to the rules of organic farming. Grape seeds are rich in natural OPCs (oligomeric proanthycyanidins). OPCs are classified as secondary plant substances, which are used by plants as defense substances against harmful external, environmental influences, among other things. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe astaxanthin for our organic astaxanthin+selenium capsules comes from the green algae Haematococcus pluvialis, which is cultivated in the Krkonose Mountains National Park in the Czech Republic in glass tube photobioreactors in accordance with EU organic farming guidelines.
