About AstaWell

AstaWell is an innovative project to produce natural Astaxanthin—a powerful antioxidant 6,000 times stronger than vitamin C—for the global supplements, cosmetics, and food industries. With the international Astaxanthin market valued at $1.2 billion in 2023 and projected to reach $1.9 billion by 2028 (8.9% annual growth), AstaWell meets the rising demand for premium, natural ingredients.

Using enzymes and Zeaxanthin from Marigold flowers, we create pure, eco-friendly Astaxanthin to boost immunity, protect skin, and enhance functional foods. Our sustainable process sets us apart, targeting North America, Europe, Asia, and beyond.

Our Mission

Current Astaxanthin production often relies on synthetic or inefficient methods, compromising quality. AstaWell is changing that. We’re starting with a 1.8 L reactor to optimize our enzymatic process, then scaling to 9 L reactors for commercial production. Our goal is to deliver high-quality Astaxanthin for supplements (capsules), cosmetics (serums), and food (beverages), powering health and beauty worldwide.
