Astaxanthin (CAS NO : 472-61-7)

Astaxanthin (Natural) is a high-value ketocarotenoid and a "super-antioxidant" with significantly higher biological activity than other carotenoids. Our 3,3'-dihydroxy-β,β-carotene-4,4'-dione is extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis, a microalgae, using advanced SCFE (Supercritical Fluid Extraction) technology. This solvent-free process ensures highest purity and potency, making it available as Oil, Powder, and Beadlets to suit any formulation requirement. Available in Beadlets: 2.5% and 5%; OS: 6% and 10%; ME & NGLP: 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, and 10% product & strength forms, engineered to be highly stable and bioavailable, our product strictly adheres to the quality and residual solvent requirements as per US, EU, and Japanese requirements, providing a premium, global-grade active for the most demanding markets. Our Astaxanthin portfolio offers one of nature's most powerful antioxidants, specifically designed for high-end consumer health and industrial applications. We are globally established nutraceutical suppliers, from sourcing to manufacturing scaling, through comprehensive regulatory documentation (CoA), manufacturing compliances, traceability, and consistent worldwide supply capabilities, ensuring reliable lead times and quality assurance across all grades.

Our Astaxanthin oil (available in 6% and 10% concentrations) is ideal for softgel applications requiring maximum antioxidant potency. The oil is oxidation-optimized through nitrogen flushing and strictly monitored peroxide values to maintain the stability of the delicate carotenoid structure. We maintain a (PSD) of less than 30 microns, ensuring perfectly uniform blending in oil-based matrices. High-concentration options are available to allow for lower softgel fill weights, optimizing your material usage and final product size.

A major differentiator for our beadlets (2.5% and 5% strengths) is the 95–98% tableting/compression recovery, ensuring the active remains potent after industrial processing. Our beadlets offer comparable stability to DSM grades but with enhanced commercial efficiency. Engineered for cold-water dispersibility, a critical feature for maintaining uniform colour and activity in beverage and gummy applications. We provide multiple specifications, including Standard, High Stability, and High Flowability, all using food-grade encapsulants like Gum Acacia and Tocopherols.

Our ME powders (ranging from 2.5% to 10%) achieve ultra-low surface oil (<1%), which dramatically reduces the risk of oxidation and improves caking resistance. The advanced encapsulation efficiency ensures that the sensitive Astaxanthin is protected from light, heat, and air throughout its shelf life. Powder is designed for high bulk density, facilitating easier handling and providing significant logistics and storage savings.

We use SCFE technology for extraction, which completely eliminates residual solvent concerns and yields a pure, high-quality product. Every batch is verified to meet the stringent residual solvent and heavy metal requirements for US, EU, and Japanese markets. As an end-to-end partner, we provide full regulatory and documentation support, including accelerated (3-month) and real-time (6-month) stability data, Astaxanthin coa, Astaxanthin tds (where applicable). Our world-class manufacturing facility operates under standards on par with global industry leaders.

Our Beadlet technologies are designed to perform on par with global industry leaders, offering comparable stability to DSM-grade beadlets while delivering superior commercial efficiency and supply flexibility. We provide three tailored specifications—Standard, High Stability, and High Flowability—to meet diverse formulation and processing needs. A key differentiator is our higher tableting recovery rate of 95–98% assay post-compression, ensuring minimal potency loss, reduced overages, and improved manufacturing consistency, which is especially valued by multinational companies. Our beadlets also feature excellent cold-water dispersibility, making them particularly suitable for colour applications, along with controlled particle size and customisable coating thickness to optimise stability, flow, and blend uniformity. Additionally, we use food-grade encapsulants, including modified starch, gum acacia, maltodextrin, and tocopherols, to enhance oxidative stability, dispersibility, regulatory compliance, and overall product performance across nutraceutical, food, and supplement applications.

Our Oil Suspensions are developed with a strong focus on oxidative stability and processing efficiency. They are oxidation-optimized with controlled peroxide values and manufactured using nitrogen flushing to further enhance product stability. With controlled particle size below 30 microns, they ensure uniformity and smooth processing in softgel and liquid formulations. We offer concentrations of 10%, 15%, 20%, and 30%, along with customized higher concentrations when required. Higher concentration options allow for lower softgel fill weight, improving production economics and offering greater formulation flexibility for large-scale manufacturing.

Our Micro-Encapsulated Powders are designed for superior encapsulation efficiency and enhanced stability during large-scale production. They contain less than 1% surface oil, which significantly improves oxidative stability, reduces caking, and ensures consistent color uniformity. The powders provide improved dispersibility and controlled particle size distribution, allowing better flow properties and uniform blending in bulk processing. Additionally, their high bulk density supports logistics optimization and storage efficiency, making them highly suitable for global food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical manufacturing operations.
