Pure Astaxanthin Powder

Do You Know About Pure Astaxanthin Powder?

Pure Astaxanthin Powder (astaxanthin) is a carotenoid and the highest-grade product of carotenoid synthesis. Its chemical structure is similar to beta-carotene. It is widely found in the biological world, particularly in shrimp, crab, fish, algae, yeast, and bird feathers. It is one of the main carotenoids in marine organisms.

Natural astaxanthin is one of the world's most powerful natural antioxidants. It effectively scavenges oxygen free radicals within cells, enhances cell regeneration, maintains body balance, and reduces the accumulation of senescent cells. It protects cell and DNA health from the inside out, thereby protecting skin health, promoting hair growth, combating aging, relieving exercise fatigue, and enhancing vitality. Numerous studies have confirmed astaxanthin's strong antioxidant activity, showing positive effects in boosting immunity, preventing the development of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes, and delaying aging.

Sources of Pure Astaxanthin Powder

Currently, Pure Astaxanthin Powder is produced primarily through synthetic methods and biological extraction.

Natural astaxanthin comes from three main sources: waste from the aquatic product processing industry (crustaceans such as shrimp and crabs), Phaffia rhodozyma, and microalgae (Haematococcus pluvialis). Currently, Haematococcus pluvialis is recognized as the best natural producer of natural astaxanthin, with an astaxanthin content of 1.5% to 3.0%, making it considered a "concentrated form" of natural astaxanthin. Therefore, extracting astaxanthin from this microalgae undoubtedly holds great promise and has become a hot topic in international research on natural astaxanthin production.

Synthetic astaxanthin is not only expensive but also exhibits significant differences from natural astaxanthin in terms of structure, physiological functions, application efficacy, and safety. Structurally, natural astaxanthin primarily exhibits a left-handed conformation, while synthetic astaxanthin is a mixture of three conformations, with the racemic form being the predominant form. Furthermore, synthetic astaxanthin cannot be converted to its natural conformation in animals. In terms of physiological functions, the stability and antioxidant activity of natural astaxanthin are significantly higher than those of synthetic astaxanthin. In terms of application effects, the bioabsorption and coloring properties of natural astaxanthin are also better than those of synthetic astaxanthin.

What Are The Main Benefits Of Pure Astaxanthin Powder?

Pure Astaxanthin Powder effectively scavenges singlet oxygen and oxygen free radicals, inhibits lipid peroxidation, and protects cell membrane structure. Compared to lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, and lycopene, astaxanthin exhibits superior antioxidant properties, significantly reducing lipid peroxide levels and alleviating oxidative stress-induced damage to cell membranes.

2. Significant Anti-inflammatory Effects

Astaxanthin exerts its anti-inflammatory effects by regulating the balance between free radicals and antioxidants in the body. Studies have shown that it can reduce levels of DNA damage markers and C-reactive protein, effectively alleviating inflammation and demonstrating clear anti-inflammatory benefits.

3. Preventing Atherosclerosis

Astaxanthin can increase high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels and reduce low-density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, thereby inhibiting LDL oxidation and slowing the progression of atherosclerosis. Its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties have a positive protective effect on cardiovascular health.

4. Enhanced Immune Function

Due to its unique molecular structure, astaxanthin can be embedded in the lipid bilayer of cell membranes, effectively inhibiting lipid peroxidation and protecting the structure and function of immune cell membranes. It can mitigate free radical damage to immune cells such as macrophages, enhancing the body's immunity and improving overall defense capabilities.

5. Protect the Eyes and Central Nervous System

Astaxanthin can cross the blood-brain barrier and cell membranes, protecting the retina and neurons from oxidative damage. This has positive implications for slowing the progression of macular degeneration and improving neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease.

6. Improved Skin Health and Anti-Aging

By inhibiting UV-induced skin oxidation and inflammation, astaxanthin helps reduce wrinkles, improve skin elasticity, and slow the progression of photoaging.

7. Assisting in Blood Sugar Regulating and Protecting the Kidneys

Astaxanthin has protective effects against diabetic nephropathy. Through antioxidant mechanisms, it mitigates the damage of hyperglycemia to the renal filtration system and reduces the risk of proteinuria.

8. Relieves Exercise Fatigue and Improves Endurance

Astaxanthin can reduce oxidative damage and muscle inflammation during exercise, accelerate recovery, and enhance muscle endurance and athletic performance.

What Are The Applications Of Pure Astaxanthin Powder?

Aquaculture and Feed Additives

Pure Astaxanthin Powder is most widely used in aquaculture and offers the most significant results.

Improving Growth Performance and Survival Rate: Adding an appropriate amount of astaxanthin to feed (for example, 120 mg/kg for Litopenaeus vannamei and 100-200 mg/kg for Snakehead Snakehead) can significantly increase the final weight, weight gain rate, specific growth rate, and survival rate of aquatic animals.

Enhancing Antioxidant and Immune Capacity: Astaxanthin can increase the total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) of aquatic animals and regulate the activities of related enzymes (such as SOD, CAT, ACP, and AKP), thereby enhancing their resistance to oxidative stress and innate immune function.

Improving Product Quality and Value

Coloring: Astaxanthin is the primary cause of the vibrant red color in salmon, trout, shrimp, crab, and other species. It can effectively improve the color of farmed products, making them more similar to their wild counterparts and increasing market acceptance.

Freshness Preservation: Astaxanthin-containing feed can enhance the antioxidant capacity of fish fillets, reduce the production of lipid oxidation products (such as malondialdehyde (MDA)) during storage, and extend shelf life.

Improving Nutritional Value: Studies have shown that feeding astaxanthin significantly increases the content of healthful omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (such as DHA and EPA) in fish fillet muscle, enhancing its nutritional value.

Improving Intestinal Health: Astaxanthin can improve intestinal morphology (such as increasing villus height and muscularis thickness), promote nutrient absorption, and regulate intestinal flora.

Food Industry

Natural Colorant: Astaxanthin has a strong coloring power (even a trace amount can produce hues ranging from light orange to deep red). It can be used in beverages, noodles, seasonings, preserved foods, and other products to impart a vibrant red color.
