Product Description
Astaxanthin Powder Natural Antioxidant
Astaxanthin (CAS 472-61-7) is a naturally occurring, powerful keto-carotenoid pigment belonging to the xanthophyll family. Renowned as one of nature's most potent antioxidants, it is responsible for the vibrant red-orange coloration in marine organisms like salmon, shrimp, krill, and microalgae. Our premium-grade Astaxanthin is sourced from sustainable Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae, offering superior purity and bioavailability for nutraceutical, cosmetic, and functional food applications.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between natural and synthetic astaxanthin?
Natural astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis has the beneficial (3S,3'S) stereoisomer configuration, while synthetic astaxanthin is a mixture of isomers with lower bioavailability and efficacy. Natural astaxanthin also contains complementary carotenoids and lipids.
What is the recommended daily dosage?
Typical supplemental doses range from 4-12 mg daily for general antioxidant support. Clinical studies have used 6-20 mg daily for specific benefits. Always consult a healthcare professional for personalized recommendations.
Is astaxanthin safe?
Yes, natural astaxanthin has an excellent safety profile with no significant side effects reported at recommended doses. It is Generally Recognized as Safe (GRAS) by the FDA.
Can astaxanthin be taken with other supplements?
Yes, astaxanthin complements other antioxidants like vitamin C, vitamin E, and CoQ10. For optimal absorption, take with a meal containing healthy fats.
How long does it take to see results?
Some benefits like reduced eye fatigue may be noticeable within 2-4 weeks, while skin improvements typically appear after 6-8 weeks of consistent use.
Is your astaxanthin suitable for vegetarians and vegans?
Yes, our microalgae-derived astaxanthin is 100% plant-based and suitable for vegetarian and vegan formulations.
Can astaxanthin replace sunscreen?
No, astaxanthin provides internal photoprotection but should not replace topical sunscreen. It works synergistically with sunscreen for comprehensive sun protection.
Do you provide technical documentation?
Yes, we supply comprehensive documentation including Certificate of Analysis, Stability Data, Safety Data Sheet, and Regulatory Support Files.
What packaging options are available?
We offer various packaging: 1kg aluminum bags with oxygen absorbers, 5-25kg drums for bulk quantities, and custom packaging with nitrogen flushing for maximum stability.
What is the minimum order quantity?
MOQ starts at 1kg for standard products. Custom formulations may have different requirements.
