Iconthin Biotech Corp., or Iconthin for short, has announced a restock of its most popular product, the AstaDaily All-In-One health supplement, after previously selling out twice. The AstaDaily supplement combines nine natural ingredients into a single pill that individuals can take daily to improve various health outcomes. In particular, the supplement promotes skin, vision, and cardiovascular health. Its signature ingredient is astaxanthin, one of the most powerful antioxidants that scientists have discovered.
Astaxanthin is a lipophilic antioxidant found in animals such as trout, salmon, shrimp, and crustaceans. It has been shown to be several times stronger than other select nutrients, including vitamin E, vitamin C, lutein, and beta-carotene. Its unique molecule structure combats free radicals, which allows it to benefit every cell in the human body. Astaxanthin has been connected to several positive health outcomes, the most well-correlated of which are skin health, eye health, cardiovascular health, and immune system support. However, studies have also linked the antioxidant to brain health, energy support, joint health, athletic performance, and male fertility.
Given the vast and well-documented health benefits of astaxanthin, many companies use it to market their products, but the source and dosage of astaxanthin can completely change the health impacts it offers. Most astaxanthin on the market is synthetic, with a different molecular structure from natural astaxanthin and no proven health effects. Even when natural astaxanthin is used, dosages that are too small fail to produce the health benefits mentioned above. Similarly, algae-sourced astaxanthin is only effective when extracted from the algae, so whole-algae supplements are generally ineffective.
Iconthin combines innovative research and technology with microalgae expertise to address these common issues in the astaxanthin market. Iconthin’s unique astaxanthin extraction method can efficiently removes the valuable antioxidant from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, superior to conventional methods in terms of extraction efficiency and recovery rate. Iconthin’s cutting-edge method is also faster than traditional approaches. As the foremost leader in the astaxanthin supplement industry, Iconthin is leading the way in creating standards for the formulation, processing, and transportation of astaxanthin supplements.
Iconthin was founded by Dr. Alvin Cheng during his PhD in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at the University of Toronto. During his studies, he developed an interest in microalgae and their largely untapped potential for improving health outcomes. In particular, Haematococcus pluvialis captured his attention because it produces astaxanthin. Upon understanding astaxanthin’s health benefits, he scoured the market for astaxanthin products for himself and his family, and when he failed to track down a trustworthy product, he decided to make his own instead.
“Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant with the potential to improve many people’s health and quality of life,” Dr. Cheng explains, “but unfortunately, the synthetic replications and insufficient dosages in many products effectively nullify the benefits. I saw that the market needed a trustworthy astaxanthin supplement that truly delivers the health benefits that astaxanthin offers. And I realized, with my expertise in mechanical and industrial engineering, paired with my passion for microalgae, that I may just be the right person to make that happen.”
“Founding and running Iconthin has been an exhilarating journey,” Dr. Cheng continues, reflecting on the first five years of his innovative business. “I constantly hear from customers about how the AstaDaily All-In-One health supplement has drastically improved their skin, vision, and more. It never stops being an incredibly rewarding feeling. Seeing the difference that Iconthin is making in people’s lives motivates me to push forward ever further, developing more biotech technologies that maximize the benefits of algae extracts for more people.”
