Description
Technical & Manufacturing Relevance:
One of the most potent natural antioxidants, supporting mitochondrial function, cardiovascular health, eye and skin health, immune modulation, anti-inflammatory response, endurance, and recovery. Lipophilic molecule with poor water solubility—absorption significantly enhanced via oil-based softgels, emulsions, lipid carriers, or microencapsulation. Highly sensitive to heat, light, and oxygen; requires antioxidant protection and controlled processing.
Applicable Dosage Forms:
Softgel capsules (preferred), hard capsules (beadlets/microencapsulated), liquids, sachets, combination antioxidant formulations
Pharmacopoeial / Quality Notes:
Assayed by HPLC; specification includes isomer profile, residual solvents, peroxide value, heavy metals, and microbiological limits. Natural astaxanthin grades require source verification (Haematococcus pluvialis). USP/FCC-aligned specifications used where applicable.
Animal-origin Declaration:
Non-animal origin for algal-derived astaxanthin; vegetarian & vegan suitable (softgel shell dependent)
Manufacturing Support:
Available for contract manufacturing, private/white labeling, customized formulations (natural algal astaxanthin with enhanced bioavailability), complete regulatory documentation (CoA, MSDS, specifications), and export-ready compliance for resale and distribution worldwide
