Haematococcus pluvialis extract astaxanthin powder (also known as red algae astaxanthin powder or natural astaxanthin powder) is derived from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis, the richest natural source of astaxanthin. This super antioxidant contains 3%-5% pure astaxanthin in its most biologically active esterified form (95% astaxanthin monoester, 4% astaxanthin diester and 1% free form). Unlike synthetic or yeast-derived astaxanthin, algae-derived astaxanthin has a 100% natural left-handed molecular structure, has an antioxidant capacity 6,000 times stronger than vitamin C, and is more bioavailable for human health.
The global astaxanthin market is expanding rapidly, with natural astaxanthin accounting for 70% of the market share. Demand for nutraceuticals, cosmetics and functional foods has surged, especially for high-purity, non-GMO and allergen-free sources of astaxanthin.
The powder uses multi-layer microencapsulation technology, is cold-water soluble, has no floating oil, and has an absorption rate 4 times higher than standard astaxanthin powder. Available in 2.5%, 4%, 5% and 10% concentrations, it can be used in dietary supplements, inner beauty products, sports nutrition products and premium pet/animal feed formulations.
Our cold water dispersible microencapsulated powder has a bioavailability of over 92%. We use a proprietary phospholipid-based nanoemulsion to increase absorption by 3.8 times.
We selectively culture high-astaxanthin-producing strains to ensure content reaches 5-10%. Our closed photobioreactor system guarantees zero pesticides and heavy metals.
Using supercritical CO2 technology, we obtain full-spectrum astaxanthin without solvents, retaining 12 synergistic carotenoids essential for nutritional synergy.
We offer customized concentrations (2.5%-20%) and stable emulsified formulations for beverages that remain stable for 24 months without sedimentation.
