In this video, the Nutraceuticals Division of Lubrizol Life Science Health presents ASTAGILE™ microcapsules is a natural, stable microencapsulated astaxanthin with proven neuroprotective efficacy. The key innovation of the product is that it is an all-natural ingredient based on astaxanthin microencapsulated with other bioactive algae ingredients for enhanced benefits.

Due to its highly conjugated, double-bond structure, astaxanthin is unstable during production and storage. This causes loss of some of its biological activity, and significantly limits its use in nutraceutical applications. Microencapsulation provides a comprehensive solution to astaxanthin limitations as it protects and stabilizes the astaxanthin-rich extract of Haematococcus pluvialis, improving its benefits.

ASTAGILE can be included in any dosage formats, such as tablets, capsules, and nutritional powders.
