What is Natural Astaxanthin Powder?

Natural astaxanthin is essentially a very strong "keto-carotenoid" that is primarily obtained from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. As an antioxidant chain breaker,Astaxanthin Powder for Salehas a significant capability to quench (kill) free radicals and other reactive species such as nitrogen dioxide, sulfides, disulfides, allowing it to provide a high level of protection for the cell membrane from lipid peroxidation because it has a special chemical structure that allows it to reach both sides of the cell wall. This outstanding antioxidant property of natural Astaxanthin in powder form means that it will protect your body from damage caused by free radicals. Due to this reason natural astaxanthin powder is used as a key component in numerous products in nutraceutical, cosmetic and animal feed industries.

Natural Astaxanthin Powder or Synthetic Astaxanthin?

When you are considering the ingredients for high-quality feed formulations, it is particularly important to differentiate between two types of options: natural or synthetic elements. As an example, the natural linkage form of Haematococcus pluvialis astaxanthin (3S, 3'S) is highly biologically active and can be absorbed at a much higher rate by animals. In comparison, artificially produced astaxanthin consists of a mixture of several isomers, and their bioavailabilities are far below that of the naturally produced isomer. The natural astaxanthin powder that must be used in animal nutrition will have other cofactors, namely other carotenoids and fatty acids, that work together to provide health benefits to animals; whereas other forms of the synthetic astaxanthin will only have a single isolated compound and no other ingredients for overall health benefit.

Astaxanthin Powder Effects on Fish Immunity and Disease Resistance

In aquaculture today, farmers must ensure the health of their animals in order to maximize their profits. By using astaxanthin as a feed additive, farmers significantly improve the immune system of their aquatic species. Astaxanthin Powder for Sale is a potent antioxidant and can reduce the oxidative stress experienced by fish in high-density farming conditions, as well as due to fluctuations in water temperature or due to the presence of pathogens.

By decreasing lipid peroxidation within the cell membranes, the cells will maintain their structural integrity and function properly, which ultimately leads to the higher survival rate of fish, shrimp, and crabs, as well as to faster growth rates and greater reproductive success.

Astaxanthin or Canthaxanthin in Aquaculture: Which One’s Better?

Astaxanthin and canthaxanthin are both popular pigmenting agents in the aquaculture industry, though there are major differences between them in their effectiveness. Animal feed astaxanthin provides a vibrant pink to red color in salmonids and in crustaceans but is also a vitamin-like precursor and has positive effects on metabolic health. Although canthaxanthin does provide adequate color, it lacks the strong antioxidant capabilities and immune-strengthening qualities that are provided by astaxanthin. The natural form of astaxanthin is a far better product for the producers who are interested in improving the appearance and health of their animals.

Applications in the Food, Pharmaceuticals, and Animal Nutrition industries.

Apart from its uses in aquaculture, the carotenoid produces several high-value uses in a variety of ways:

Animal Feed Additive: Used to enhance the color of egg yolks in poultry production, increase the rate of egg production, and improve hen health and well-being in general. It is also used as a precursor material to flavour in salmonids, i.e. salmon, and therefore provides some of the basic and desirable flavour elements of salmon.

Food Additives: The use of this dye or colour additive is global and is used as a naturally derived colour and a preservative. Due to its fat solubility and brilliant red colour, addition of this dye or colour additive can not only be used to colour but also extend the shelf life of high lipid content foods.

Pharmaceuticals & Supplements: Used in the manufacturing of medications and supplements, this dye or colour additive aid in protecting body tissue from oxidative damage and promote cardiovascular, joint, and eye health.

Stability of Storing Natural Astaxanthin Powder

Astaxanthin Powder for Saleis extremely vulnerable to heat, light and oxygen because it has a high level of conjugation in its molecular structure. Therefore, it needs to be kept cool and dry, away from sunlight and moisture, to preserve its activity. Thus, NT Biotech uses modern stabilization technology to protect our animal feed-grade astaxanthin powders in order to achieve maximum shelf life with maximum biological activity during not only feed manufacture but also prolonged storage periods.
