Product Function
Astaxanthin powder has high nutritional and medicinal value.
Astaxanthin can effectively quench active oxygen free radicals and has strong antioxidant activity. Astaxanthin can not only capture free radicals on the surface of phospholipid membranes, but also further scavenge reactive oxygen species in the membranes, making astaxanthin stronger than other carotenoids in scavenging free radicals. In addition, astaxanthin has a vivid red color and strong pigmentation ability.
Applications
Applications in the food industry: Astaxanthin Powder is suitable for the development of high-quality foods such as dairy products, juices, beverages, candy, baked goods, beauty foods, and high-end nutritional products such as capsules.
Applications in the cosmetics industry: Astaxanthin is bright red and has stronger anti-photosensitivity than beta-carotene. It can be used in the cosmetic industry, such as moisturizing cream, anti-wrinkle eye cream, facial mask, lipstick, etc.
