Natural Astaxanthin Powder derived from Haematococcus pluvialis is a concentrated, dried form of natural astaxanthin, typically used in supplements, functional foods, and cosmetics. Unlike oil-based extracts, Astaxanthin Powder is often stabilized through encapsulation or beadlet technology to enhance shelf life and bioavailability. It is one of a group of natural pigments known as xanthophylls, a subcategory of the carotenoid family.

Functions
Antioxidants are known to improve all the time:
The first generation of antioxidants is vitamins.
Second-generation antioxidants include beta-carotene, coenzyme Q10, SOD, etc..
The third-generation antioxidants include anthocyanins, grape seeds, blueberry extract, green tea, lipoic acid, lycopene, etc..
The fourth-generation antioxidant ingredient is natural astaxanthin.
Astaxanthin Powder is an excellent antioxidant that plays an important role in quenching free radicals. In the astaxanthin molecule, the end of the conjugated double bond chain is a long conjugated double bond, a hydroxyl group and an unsaturated ketone group, wherein the hydroxyl group and the ketone group form an α-hydroxy ketone. These structures all have relatively active electronic effects, which can donate electrons to free radicals and attract unpaired electrons of free radicals. It can be seen that the structural characteristics of astaxanthin make it easy to react with free radicals, scavenge free radicals, and play an antioxidant role.

1. At present, the basic dosage form of astaxanthin as a nutritional product is "oil suspension". "Oil suspension" means that astaxanthin is suspended in edible oil to form a suspension system.
Using fat-soluble solvents such as edible oils and fats to prepare "oil suspension" can prevent the structure of astaxanthin from being damaged due to temperature and improve the stability of astaxanthin. "Oil suspensions" can be used in many food vehicles to prepare various formulations, especially soft gelatin capsules.
2. Microencapsulation technology refers to the use of natural or synthetic polymer materials to encapsulate dispersed solid, liquid, or gaseous substances in a tiny airtight capsule. This encapsulation process is called microencapsulation. Microencapsulation can improve the water dispersibility, storage stability, and antioxidant activity of astaxanthin, and has a slow-release effect.
