What is the AstaReal® VeriReal✔ Program?

The AstaReal® VeriReal program was launched in September 2024. It checks the product for authentic AstaReal and the potency matches the label.

In 2023, our customers reported suspicious astaxanthin supplements co-branded with AstaReal astaxanthin online at Shopee Thailand and Lazada Thailand. We confirmed that some unfamiliar products which claim to use AstaReal® astaxanthin did not have detectable astaxanthin in the product. Therefore, we are concerned about the safety and quality of such products for consumers.

Our goal is to raise awareness and restore consumers' trust in the quality and safety of supplements using AstaReal® astaxanthin.

Available for Thailand market only.

General FAQ

  • What is the AstaReal® VeriReal✔ Program?
    It is a self-driven initiative exclusive to Thai market after discovering certain finished products have problems with labeling and unauthorised use of the AstaReal® astaxanthin trademark logo. We aim to differentiate unfamiliar brands that claim to use AstaReal® astaxanthin from genuine ones. This is a testament to our commitment to quality and trust so that consumers can purchase from brands' finished products with trust and confidence.​​​
  • What does AstaReal® VeriReal✔ Certified mean?
    When a finished product has the AstaReal® VeriReal✔ certificate, it had passed the paper audit by AstaReal and third-party independent laboratory assay using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). We can ensure that the finished product is using 100% AstaReal astaxanthin. Also, we want to make sure it is not mixed sources of astaxanthin and the dosage matches the label claim.
  • What is the difference between AstaReal VeriReal✔ and AstaReal ingredient trademark logo?
    The AstaReal® trademark logo represents our branded ingredient, astaxanthin. It is used for market differentiation from other sources. AstaReal® is a registered trademark of Fuji Chemical Industries Co., Ltd., Japan. Only brands that have met certain requirements are permitted to use the logo via a trademark licensing agreement. However, we discovered finished products on the Thailand online shopping platforms like Shopee and Lazada that the AstaReal® ingredient trademark logo is easily copied without prior authorization. Furthermore, in some finished products, there was no astaxanthin detected and therefore, such products are mislabeled. Therefore, AstaReal® VeriReal✔ program is the next level of guarantee to consumers that the finished product brand uses 100% astaxanthin by AstaReal. Only products that have passed the verification process will be issued a certificate of authenticity and VeriReal QR code. The QR code will link to our website to prevent misuse of the certificate because only products listed on our website has been authenticated.
  • Is the AstaReal® VeriReal✔ program available in other countries other than Thailand?
    No, the problem is specific to finished products made and sold in Thailand.
  • How long is the certificate of authenticity valid for?
    The certificate is valid for 2 years, subject to the finished product passing lab testing and paper audit during the initial verification process.
  • After certificate issuance, does each product batch produced afterwards require constant auditing to maintain the certificate?
    No. We only require a one-time paper audit per certificate issuance. For certificate renewal, it will necessary to repeat the audit once more.
  • How will AstaReal guarantee the authenticity of the product for the duration of the certificate?
    AstaReal will conduct one random finished product checks for around a year after the issue date of certificate. Should the brand owner fail to address and rectify any non-compliance found during the audit or random testing, AstaReal will void the certificate and remove the product listing from our AstaReal® VeriReal✔ webpage.
  • What is the AstaReal VeriReal Program?
    In Thailand, we discovered suspicious products and unauthorised use of our AstaReal® astaxanthin trademark. Therefore, we do not know if they are using AstaReal. Products listed here have been checked and tested. We want Thai consumers to purchase products with trust and confidence the product uses 100% genuine AstaReal.​​​
  • What's the QR code and certificate of authentication for?
    This our AstaReal brand logo. Unfortunately, it has been copied many times. Look out for the new AstaReal QR code in the product marketing and labelling. This is a high level brand authentication seal. Scan the QR code to see the list of products that have been authenticated by AstaReal. Products not listed on our web page have not been checked by AstaReal. The product owner should also have an original certificate of authentication issued by AstaReal.
  • Should I be worried if I am taking products with AstaReal astaxanthin which are not listed in the AstaReal VeriReal website?
    No, not necessarily. Most likely we are dealing with just a few bad apples. There are a few scenarios that may apply: a. Some brands that have just launched their products in the market; b. Some brands are not participating in the verification program due to various reasons. If you are still not sure, it is recommended to purchase from established brands compared to unfamiliar ones.
