Who is Ivarsson's?

It all started with spirulina: in 1996 Ronald Ivarsson visited a spirulina farm in Hawaii and stayed for three months. A year later he founded the mail-order business that became today's Ivarsson's brand.

Astaxanthin was added in 2003. The company is based in Schriesheim in Germany and works with production partners in Hawaii and Israel. By its own account, it regularly checks the work on the farms in person.

For the astaxanthin capsules, the manufacturer states that they are tested on an ongoing basis for pesticides and heavy metals. The astaxanthin is extracted with supercritical CO₂.
