Lubrizol Life Science Health (LLS), a Berkshire Hathaway Company, has introduced its ASTAGILE microcapsules, its new sustainable, organic-certified, astaxanthin (Haematococcus pluvialis), microencapsulated with spirulina, it was reported on Wednesday.

Both ingredients have been combined in a patent-pending product aimed to promote mental agility and support healthy ageing for young and senior adults.

Astaxanthin is a carotenoid found in freshwater microalgae, while spirulina is a type of algae. In order to create the synergistic algae blend, LLS Health collaborated with Neoalgae Micro Seaweeds Products, SL, a research and development company in Spain dedicated to microalgae biotechnology. LLS claims that recent studies showed the cognitive enhancement effects of ASTAGILE, including a boost in memory performance, cognition and learning capabilities, and provided antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection to the brain.
