Life on Earth
First bacteria and archaea
2.7B years ago
First Eukaryotes
The birth of the animal and algae kingdoms Both kingdoms used archaea (mitochondria) for power. Need for stronger antioxidants kicks off carotenoid evolution.

Nature Invents Astaxanthin
It took 2B years for nature to make di-esterified 3S, 3'S astaxanthin. The most powerful antioxidant in the carotenoid family
600M years ago
Cambrian Explosion
Astaxanthin protects vitamin C from being oxidized by the mitochondria. Vitamin C makes Collagen, blood vessels, bones, shells sparking multicellular life.
63M Years Ago
Vitamin C Mutation
Primates stop making vitamin C. Oh higher order carnivores didn't need to make astaxanthin either. Just eat other animals that make this foundational compound.
1857-1886
Industrialization of Glucose
Beginning of major shift in human dietary intake of sugar and starches. Sugar from sugar beets & starches from white flour roll mills.
1950s
Industrialization of Poultry
Poultry feed lots convert chickens into vegetarians, eliminating astaxanthin from their diet and ours. Chickens get sick and treated with antibiotics, vaccines and growth hormones.
1966
High Fructose Corn Syrup
Another sugar source finds its way into processed foods. T
1950-Today
Human Health Declines
Increased glucose intake leads to increased ROS. No astaxanthin pours fuel onto the fire, increasing rates of diabetes,
neurodegenerative & heart disease.
2016
Industrialization of Fish Farming
Farmed fish consumption exceeds wild caught. Farmed fish lack astaxanthin in their diets removing another source of mitochondria targeted antioxidants.

Adjuvia Astaxanthin Invented
Founding team invents process to extract 3S, 3'S astaxanthin from algae and increase bioactivity 47X. Extensive testing on over 200 varieties of fish.
2020
Adjuvia.Life Is Born
We launched our first micronutrient supplements for humans containing our di-esterified 3S, 3'S astaxanthin. to enhance our health, wellness and boost immunity.

Our Process
Sourcing
We source plant biomass from sustainable growers of algae and yeast rich in our target compounds including astaxanthin, selenium and taurine.
Nano Emulsion and Separation
We didn't invent di-esterified 3S, 3'S astaxanthin. We invented a method to extract astaxanthin from algae cells and increase bioavailability and bioactivity 47X.
We crush plant cells, separate out indigestible cellulose, remove food grade solvents and are left with a lipid rich nano emulsified stock oil containing 99%+ of the compounds found inside algae and plant cells.
Testing & Formulation
We use third party labs to test our emulsified oils for metals, pesticides, biological agents and biocide contamination as well as certify the amount of our target compounds in our stock oil.
Depending on the final product, we add natural flavorings, carrier oils or base cream ingredients.
Bottling/Capping/Labeling
We operate & control our own cGMP production facility to fill jars, bottles & gel caps followed by a labeling and shipping desk. We track 100% from farm to fork and ship within 2 business days 99.99% of the time.
