The hero: Haematococcus Pluvialis alga
Haematococcus pluvialis is a micro algae that thrives in harsh environmental conditions like heat, light, UV radiation and nutrient deprivation. As a survival strategy, it accumulates large amounts of Astaxanthin. This protective mechanism is a natural response and makes Haematococcus pluvialis the perfect source for astaxanthin extraction. AlgaSense® is a potent source of this valuable compound for various applications in supplements, nutraceuticals, and functional foods.
Stress relief
Lowers cortisol
Gut-brain axis
Clinically validated
Daily dose 300mg/day
Clinically proven benefits
A placebo controlled study in 32 subjects showed a significant reduction in cortisol, the primary stress hormone, after 4 weeks of supplementation with 300mg/day AlgaSense®. Also, self-assessed mood levels significantly improved. A bioavailability study in healthy subjects (n=10) showed rapid uptake within 1 hour, peaking after 8 hours.
Mode of action
The intake of AlgaSense® resulted in an increase of S. thermophilus in the gut microbiota. Since S. thermophilus has been associated with lessening depression, activation of the gut-brain axis may be part of the mode of action of AlgaSense®.
Applications and NPD
AlgaSense® is a great addition to any product formulation that targets stress relief and mental health. AlgaSense® is a solvent-free, dark red powder with small particle size and can be combined with vitamin B1, B6, B12, C, E, folate and magnesium.
