BGG World Announces Introduction of Organic Astaxanthin in Oleoresin Form

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 20, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- BGG World (BGG) and its subsidiary Algae Health Sciences (AHS) are happy to announce NOP Organic Certification of Astaxanthin supercritical CO2 oleoresin (AstaZine®).  NOP (National Organic Program) is a federal regulatory program managed by the US Department of Agriculture that develops and enforces consistent national standards for organically produced agricultural products sold in the United States. This certification follows the breakthrough certification of BGG's Astaxanthin farm and its Haematococcus pluvialis Astaxanthin-containing powder in 2016.  BGG's Astaxanthin farm (currently the world's largest) became the first Astaxanthin production facility, and the resulting powder, the first Astaxanthin raw material product, to obtain organic certification by any recognized agency worldwide. Based on this additional certification (which now covers the 10% Astaxanthin oil product), BGG can serve any solid formulation, including softgel and liquid-filled hardshell caps, to support brands wishing to market their products in USA and other countries where the NOP program is recognized. 

"BGG continues to lead the Astaxanthin market in every way, and the timing couldn't be better for this innovation," said Bob Capelli, CEO of BGG Americas and Algae Health Sciences. "We just completed our capacity expansion last month, doubling our potential volume to become the largest algae-based Astaxanthin producer in the world. So we'll have plenty of Astaxanthin in both organic and standard forms for every brand that wants it for years to come."
