Natural Astaxanthin Oil derived from Haematococcus pluvialis is a concentrated lipid-based extract containing natural astaxanthin, typically suspended in a carrier oil for enhanced stability and bioavailability.

product-601-417

Natural Astaxanthin Oil is a red pigment occurring naturally in a wide variety of living organisms. Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid that is closely related to beta-carotene and Lutein.

Astaxanthin is widely found in the biological world, particularly in aquatic animals such as shrimp and crab. In addition to the chemical properties of general carotenoids, astaxanthin has excellent antioxidant properties. The fat-soluble free radical quenching activity of astaxanthin is 10 times that of beta-carotene and 100 times that of vitamin E.

Product advantages:

(1) High antioxidant activity

All astaxanthin extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis exists in the left-handed form of (3S.3'S), which is the isomer with the highest antioxidant activity.

(2) Good stability

Most of the astaxanthin in Haematococcus pluvialis exists in the esterified form, and the esterified astaxanthin is more stable.

(3)Safety

Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis can be used for human consumption. In view of the safety, antioxidant properties and stability of astaxanthin extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis, the US Food and Drug Administration currently only approves astaxanthin extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis. The left-handed (3S, 3'S) configuration of astaxanthin is extracted from Haematococcus algae for human consumption.

Functions

1. Antioxidant effect of Astaxanthin liquid form

Reactive oxygen species, such as oxygen free radicals generated by oxidation in the human body, can easily oxidize unsaturated fatty acids on cell membranes through fatty acid free radicals, breaking the balance of antioxidants and free radicals in the body. It can easily lead to symptoms or diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis and heart disease. Astaxanthin is a chain-breaking antioxidant that has a strong antioxidant effect and can effectively scavenge reactive oxygen species. Natural astaxanthin is the strongest antioxidant found in nature, and its antioxidant activity far exceeds existing antioxidants.

2. Immunomodulatory effects of astaxanthin

Astaxanthin can significantly promote spleen cells to produce antibodies in the presence of antigens, stimulate the production of immunoglobulins in the body, and enhance T cells. It has a regulating effect on the body's immunity.

3. Slow down aging, protect cells

The main cause of aging is that oxidative damage to mitochondria accelerates the aging of cells, leading to senescence. Astaxanthin has a strong antioxidant effect, can delay cell aging, and has a protective effect on cells.

Applications

1. Natural Astaxanthin Oil is used in the food field as an additive for food coloring, preservation, and nutrition.
2. Astaxanthin oil, as a new type of cosmetic raw material, can prevent skin photoaging, delay cell aging, reduce skin wrinkles, reduce melanin deposition, reduce freckles, and retain moisture etc.
3. Astaxanthin oil is used in health products.
4. Astaxanthin liquid form is used in the feed industry as a feed additive for fish (salmon, sturgeon, rainbow trout, red sea bream, etc.) and crustaceans, and poultry such as shrimps and crabs.
