Thank you for your continued support, and we can’t wait to see you at Naturally Good 2023!

In a new pilot study, published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition, researchers aimed to investigate the antioxidant benefits of lycopene, but specifically, how they stacked up against tomato powder, a tomato supplement closer to its whole food origin which contains not only lycopene but a broader profile of micronutrients and various bioactive components.

In the randomized, double-blinded crossover study, 11 well-trained male athletes underwent three exhaustive exercise tests after a week of supplementation with a tomato powder, then a lycopene supplement, and then a placebo. Three blood samples (baseline, post-ingestion, and post-exercise) were taken for each of the supplements used, in order to evaluate total antioxidant capacity and variables of lipid peroxidation, such as malondialdehyde (MDA) and 8-isoprostane.

In October 2012, when traveling in Hawaii, the tour guide introduced a local popular product called BIOASTIN, which is rich in Astaxanthin, known as one of nature’s most powerful antioxidants and provides a wide range of impressive health benefits that we are very interested in it. In the following years, we worked closely with the Chinese Academy of Marine Sciences to find out where China can breed Haematococcus. In Erdos, in Qingdao, in Kunming, we have done a lot of experiments, and finally we started our Astaxanthin dream in Kunming, where the sunlight is abundant, the temperature is suitable, and the temperature difference between the four seasons is small. . . After 6 years of hard work, the pipeline cultured Haematococcus pluvialis was finally realized, and the natural Astaxanthin was supercritically extracted. Therefore we have registered the trademark “Astactive”

As a team, we gained a lot from our participation in the exhibition. We had the opportunity to meet with potential new customers, explore new market trends, and get inspired by the innovative products and concepts showcased by other exhibitors.
