About Us

Algae Health (Slainte Alga Teoranta) was established in 2009 by Edward McHugh.

Following 3 years of intensive Research and Development based on our proprietary cultivation technology (patent pending) we are now in a position to scale-up production of our first product, ASTAXANTHIN.

ASTAXANTHIN is a carotenoid with high anti-oxidant properties, 10 times greater than Beta Carotene and up to 500 times greater than vitamin E. It does not convert into Vitamin A in the body like other carotenoids, which is important as too much vitamin A in the human body is toxic. Some of the potential benefits of this product are:

• Age-Related Macular Degeneration: the leading cause of blindness in the aging population
• Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Diseases: two of the most important neurodegenerative diseases
• Cholesterol Disease: ameliorates the effects of LDL, the "bad" cholesterol
• Inflammatory, chronic viral and autoimmune disease
• Dyspepsia
• Semen fertility improvement
• Muscle function
• Sunburn from UV light
• Normalization of cardiac rhythm
• Anti-hypertension agent
• Stress management
• Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH)
• Stroke: repairs damage caused by lack of oxygen
