The microalgaa Dunaliella salina is unique: its' natural habitat is in salt lakes that have a salinity which is nine times higher than the salinity of sea water. Since Dunaliella is continually exposed to all kinds of stress like high osmotic pressure, high UV levels and high oxygen levels it is considered a stress manager.

To withstand these conditions, the algae needs a lot of energy. In vitro tests have demonstrated that Dunaliella Salina are able to enhance the ATP levels of human fibroblasts and protect the mitochrondria.
