Established agreements with leading logistics companies.

What Is Astaxanthin Powder?

The product is a stabilised delivery form of a potent keto-carotenoid, astaxanthin, derived from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. This high-value ingredient employs state-of-the-art microencapsulation technology to transform the lipophilic astaxanthin oleoresin into a usable powder form.

The production technique uses supercritical CO2 extraction to retain the native (3S, 3’S) isomer configuration. This unique chemical framework goes through cell membrane bilayers, giving antioxidant protection 6,000 times stronger than Vitamin C.

Our powder uses either a starch or gelatine matrix structure to preserve the active ingredient from air, light and heat. This double-shell protection assures product stability in handling, formulation and end-use applications.

Functions

Our Astaxanthin Powder delivers exceptional biological activity through its unique molecular structure containing conjugated double bonds, hydroxyl, and keto groups.

Superior Antioxidant Protection – Unlike beta-carotene, this substance shows no pro-oxidant action even at high doses. It is able to scavenge free radicals in both lipid and aqueous phases of cellular frameworks.

Enhanced Bioavailability: Microencapsulation technology converts naturally hydrophobic molecules into a form that may be used in a variety of delivery methods. This solves the inherent absorption problems of the raw carotenoids.

Cellular Membrane Support: The molecular design allows incorporation across the whole cell membrane bilayers, giving complete protection from oxidative stress in the inner and outer membrane regions.

Improved Stability: Superior formulation methods block manufacturing and storage deterioration to ensure potency throughout the life of your product.

Areas of Application

The "best"powder form depends on your formulation demands. And here's how this adaptable element is used in many sectors:

Dietary Supplements: Tablet and pill makers use our powder in formulations for eye health, skin wellness, and cardiovascular support. The compressible powder form allows tabletting operations to be carried out without the need for specific equipment modifications.

Functional Beverages Cold Water Dispersible (CWD) types may be added to ready to drink goods, sports nutrition drinks and rapid sachet formats. The emulsion method makes the naturally lipophilic molecule water-miscible yet residue free.

Cosmetic Applications: The ingredient’s photoprotective capabilities are used in luxurious skin care products, such as anti-aging creams, serums and suncare products. The cosmetic grade criteria meets the need for a compatible topical application.

The uniform particle size distribution and superior flow properties of the powder help Nutraceutical Innovations Formulators working on targeted delivery systems for precision dosage applications.

Certifications

Our facility maintains comprehensive certification coverage to meet global regulatory requirements:

• FSSC22000 Food Safety System Certification
• ISO9001 Quality Management System
• HALAL Certification
• KOSHER Certification
• HACCP System Certification
• High-tech Enterprise of Shaanxi Province
• Private Science and Technology Enterprise Recognition

Each batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting specification compliance.

Quality Control

Professional procurement requires rigorous scrutiny of specific quality parameters to ensure you receive authentic natural material:

HPLC Verification: We employ High-Performance Liquid Chromatography rather than UV spectrophotometry to provide accurate astaxanthin content measurement. UV methods can artificially inflate results by measuring total carotenoids.

Isomer Analysis: Quality control analysis confirms the presence of the (3S, 3'S) optical isomer indicative of Haematococcus origin. This stereochemistry confers better biological activity than the synthetic racemic combinations.

Contaminant Screening: We test each batch for heavy metals (Lead < 3ppm, Arsenic < 1ppm, Mercury < 0.1ppm) and Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons, specifically Benzo(a)pyrene to safeguard your brand's image.

Microbiological Control: We monitor Total Plate Count, Yeast & Mould levels and certify absence of pathogens like E. Coli, Salmonella and Staphylococcus aureus.

Residual Solvent Verification: Our supercritical CO2 extraction process guaranties solvent free status, thus there’s no issue of ethanol or acetone residues typical of previous extraction methods.

 

Payment & Shipment

We accommodate diverse business requirements through flexible payment terms: TT, DP, PayPal, Visa, DA, LC, MasterCard, and Escrow arrangements.

Global delivery partners include FedEx, DHL, EMS, UPS, TNT, international airlines, and shipping companies. For clients without import experience, we provide customs clearance assistance in Europe and the United States, ensuring direct delivery to your facility.

Vacuum-sealed aluminum foil packaging with oxygen scavengers protects product integrity during transit by preventing auto-oxidation of the carotenoid chain.

Packaging & Transportation

Standard packaging utilizes pharmaceutical-grade containers designed to preserve Astaxanthin Powder stability during storage and shipment. Light-protective materials prevent photodegradation.

Temperature regulated logistics ensures that products are maintained below 40°C throughout the distribution chain. This avoids heat deterioration that destroys efficacy.

Whether for laboratory amounts or commercial size shipments, customised packaging options complement your handling needs.

FAQ

Q: What distinguishes natural from synthetic product?

A: Natural powder from Haematococcus pluvialis contains exclusively the (3S, 3'S) isomer with superior biological activity. Synthetic versions comprise a racemic mixture with only 25% of this active configuration, primarily used for animal feed applications.

Q: Why does concentration typically range from 2-10% rather than 100%?

A: Crystalline pure astaxanthin rapidly oxidises when exposed to air. Shelf life of 24-36 months guarantyd by microencapsulation inside protective matrices. The percentage is the concentration of active ingredient in the stabilising carrier system.

Q: Is the powder soluble in water?

A: Regular grades are lipophilic (oil soluble). For beverage applications we provide versions of Cold Water Dispersible (CWD) technology using nano-emulsion to achieve uniform water dispersion without development of residue.

Q: Does the way of extraction impact quality?

A: With supercritical CO2 extraction, the temperature is lower and there is no solvent, thus there is no thermal degradation or solvent residue as with ethanol or acetone extraction.

Q: What is the suggested dose consumption?

A: Clinical studies suggest 4-12mg daily. Work out the inclusion rates depending on powder concentration e.g. 200mg of 2% powder gives you 4mg active substance.
