Natural Astaxanthin Powder is produced primarily from microalgae

(Haematococcus pluvialis) (雨生红球藻), and is an antioxidant compound in the carotenoid family, and it breaks the chain of free radicals. However, unlike the structure of other carotenoids, the molecular configuration of astaxanthin can stretch across the cell membrane, offering overall cellular protection against oxidative stress sources both within and outside the cells.

This red pigment is notable for its ability to remove reactive oxygen species (ROS) from the environment and inhibit lipid peroxidation. It also removes nitrogen dioxide and sulfide and disulfide. Natural astaxanthin powderprotects cells from damage by free radicals. As an antioxidant, it outperforms beta-carotene and vitamin E. In addition to its bright colour, astaxanthin is known to boost your immunity, so both American and European authorities have now given it the go-ahead as a food additive and/or dietary supplement everywhere.

Difference Between Natural astaxanthin and Synthetic astaxanthin

Ingredient selection for your products requires knowledge on the sources (i.e., natural or synthetic) as it affects product effectiveness and customer perception.

The chemical structure of Naturally derived Astaxanthin is from (3S, 3’S) chirality as produced in living Haematococcus pluvialis algae. Synthetic astaxanthin powders are typically manufactured using petroleum as feedstocks and contain a range of stereoisomers that do not exist in natural astaxanthin powder.

Antioxidant Capacity: Microalgae-based bulk natural astaxanthin powder is nearly 50 times more effective as an antioxidant than the synthetic version, according to various scientific reports.
Consumer Acceptance: Due to modern "clean label" trends, consumers do not want synthetic chemicals. Using astaxanthin powder from red algae means your brand can state that the product is "100% natural." This fact will allow retailers to place your product at a more expensive retail price tier.

Natural Astaxanthin Powder Stability and Storage

An antioxidant molecule that has a high level of energy and contains many conjugated double bonds, so is sensitive to light, heat and oxygen. To maximize the antioxidant power of the product over its lifetime, it is important to maintain good storage conditions.

We protect the active molecules using modern micro-encapsulation technology. The raw material must always be kept in its original, tightly sealed packaging in a cool, dark, and dry warehousing facility. The product should not be exposed to direct sunlight or temperatures above 20°C. When our premium ingredient is properly handled, it remains stable in concentration and its vibrant red colour for up to 24 months.

Versatile Industrial Uses, from Cosmetic Products to Human Health

This ingredient has a huge market potential in many multibillion dollar vertical markets, mostly due to its oil solubility, rich red colour, and outstanding functional attributes.

Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: Formulated in soft gel capsules, hard gel capsules, and combinations of functional nutrients to offer cardiovascular health support, relieve eye strain, and continue to offer cognitive support as we grow older.
Cosmetics & Skincare: This product is used as an anti-aging ingredient in high quality face serums and face creams to both help decrease the presence of UV induced wrinkles on the face, and lighten the presence of age marks, while reversing lipid peroxidation in the skin.
Functional Foods: It serves two functions. First, it serves as natural red color, and then has preservative qualities as well by providing increased shelf life to the food product because it prevents oil and lipid oxidation.

Astaxanthin Powder for Fish feeds (AQUACULTURE).

The main commercially available market for astaxanthin is for specialised feed. Aquatic animals are unable to produce the pigments needed to express their natural colour. It is a vital and important part of the feed formulation of fish like salmon, sturgeon, rainbow trout and red sea bream and crustaceans like shrimp and crab which are fed bulk natural astaxanthin powder.

Popular, vibrant, pinkish-red flesh increases market value as well as consumer acceptance of the product in addition to being an important wellness optimizer. This resembles wild population biological protection, thereby increasing metabolic survival, optimal growth patterns, and precedes particular flavor chemicals associated with fresh salmon's unique umami taste.

How to Include Astaxanthin Powder as an Ingredient in Animal Pet Foods

Most domesticated animals or household pets suffer from the same oxidative stress as humans do because of their consuming processed foods. Therefore, many popular pet food manufacturers are starting to add astaxanthin antioxidant powder into their kibble lines of dry dog and cat foods as well as into wet canned foods and into some specialty pet food treats.

If you include it in your pet product formulations, it improves the immune system of dogs and cats; decreases joint pain in older animals; and also makes coats shinier and the skin healthier than before. The protective action will enable the pet food manufacturers to depend less on synthetic preservatives and, at the same time, offer two-in-one benefits, which will be noticed by the pet owners.

In commercial agriculture, adding this add-on to the diet of chicken will result in optimum production. The addition of algae-based powder to the diet of chickens immediately increases the pigmentation of egg yolk that will develop into golden-colored egg yolks preferred by many customers. The supplement (natural astaxanthin powder) provides overall improvement in reproduction performance for laying hens besides increasing the counts of egg laid while at the same time improving the survival rate of the flock as well as providing improved immunity against environmental pathogens.

Where to Buy Bulk Natural Astaxanthin Powder
