Hi W. Henderson,Our astaxanthin is naturally derived from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. We use supercritical CO2 extraction to obtain and concentrate the astaxanthin. This method of extraction is chemical and oxygen-free. Our product is also free of any preservatives or artificial colors and flavoring. Hope this helps answer your question, and if you have any other questions you can reach us by responding to this comment thread or by email at amazon@vivalabs.com.BesaRegistered NutritionistViva Labs

No. CO2 is highly explosive ( source: my local paintball field burns trash and some idiot threw his tank in), so for safety reasons they come empty.

Since it's a combination of plastic and carbon, I don't think so, but given the number of plastic bottless it has saved, it's still a very green product, if this is what concerns you.

I don't think so.. Ingredients are dipropylene glycol monomethyl,ethyl, propylene, glycole-butyl ether. No sounding Eco friendly to me

I just took a look at one of mine and the side clearly says "16 G.CO2 filled 82122CZ"..."Leland MFG. in Japan", so I'm guessing they are the same thing just repackaged. note that mine didn't actually come in a package, just loose in a padded envelope...

According to the label, it is derived from kelp. No where does it say if it's 100% or not - as it contains some metals my guess is not organic. I would recommend going out to Lilly Miller's website, www.lillymiller.com, for a more detailed list of ingredients. I do know that our soil here in Montana is dreadful, and my plants are flourishing with this additive.

It can. The yeast that produce the co2 take time to get started. Give it a couple days for solid co2 production. Check the line for water. I'd also always advise looking into how co2 affects tank water and fish.

This does not include a CO2 bottle. It would have to be purchased separately.

No. I looked it up online. It is one of the few that is petroleum-free. It also works very well!

Yes, the canister was filled with CO2. it was well packed but it wasn't labeled that it was filled with CO2, which I believe it should have been.

Yes, Marineland's carbon is cleaner than most, requiring less rinsing to get rid of the carbon dust before you put it in the filter. I strongly recommend using a filter bag to contain the carbon before putting it in a filter.

It is loaded with CO2 But I don't think you can refill. It is Good. Very Good price. For 25.

I don't know. It is a very good question. one might troll the internet about the sea where it comes from, or email the company or EPA. now I am curious. however, it works very well for aches and pains.

This product is only for carbon use.If you are not running any co2 system.This product is a repalcement.To help with photosynthesis you would need some sort of good lighting and plant food.Like API leaf zone or seachem flourish.Seachem excel is a source of bio-available organic carbon.

No. It is derived from ocean plankton. When looking for the best quality MSM, look for MSM that has been processed through a distillation process, rather than a crystallization process. Also, look for the brand that has pure OptiMSM.

No, I messaged them and asked, it comes from China. Some Islands supposedly clean waters...however all my research shows do not buy Chlorella from China. I'm going with Yaeyama Source Naturals. Only a few dollars more but Japan has higher standards for testing. Also opposite side of Japan than radiation. The radiation headed towards California.

Other comments saying you should not use carbon with it is not true. Seachem rep recommended to use carbon along with it (but is not necessary), which filters different things.
