Astaxanthin first catches the eye with its red-orange hue. This color is linked to a pigment naturally present in certain microalgae. At Secrets d’Eden, astaxanthin is offered in powder form, with a microalga indicated on the product sheet: Haematococcus pluvialis.
This guide has been designed to clearly present the stated origin, concentration, formats, and usage tips for this reference. It does not replace the information on the label of the received pouch, which remains the priority.
According to legend, a drop of water turned red
According to legend, in the heart of clear water lived a tiny, almost invisible alga. When the light changed and the seasons became more intense, it kept in its secret a glowing ember color: a deep red, somewhere between coral and amber.
Travelers who caught a glimpse of this shade in the water said it was a sign of a tiny and precious world hidden on the surface of the lakes. They spoke neither of promises nor of power: only of the astonishing beauty of a color born in nature.
This legend is an imaginative editorial narrative inspired by the red-orange color associated with certain microalgae. It introduces the story of the pigment; factual information about the product can be found in the following sections and on the pouch label.
The pink thread of the waters: algae, shrimp, and flamingos
In nature, the color of flamingos tells a true story of pigments. They are not born pink: their hue is built over the course of their diet, which is rich in carotenoids derived notably from microalgae and small crustaceans like brine shrimp.
The shrimp themselves feed on microorganisms and algae. The pigments thus circulate in the aquatic world: from the water to the crustaceans, then to the birds that feed on them. Flamingos metabolize these pigments and deposit them in their feathers, beaks, and legs, hence their shades ranging from delicate pink to more intense coral.
Astaxanthin is one of the carotenoids found in many aquatic organisms, particularly certain zooplankton and crustaceans. The microalga Haematococcus pluvialis is known as a natural source particularly rich in astaxanthin. This story explains the visual strength of its red-orange hue; it describes a pigmentation phenomenon in the living world, not a claimed effect on human beings.
A color born from a microalga
Microalgae are microscopic organisms that live in water. The Secrets d’Eden product sheet indicates Haematococcus pluvialis as the source of the ingredient. Under certain environmental conditions, this microalga can produce the red-orange pigment associated with astaxanthin.
This color is also found in certain organisms that feed on algae. Here, it gives the powder an intense, recognizable visual identity that differs from green vegetable powders or fruit powders.
