Haematococcus pluvialis Powder

Haematococcus pluvialis Powder (Astaxanthin)

Astaxanthin,a naturally occurring keto-carotenoid, is hailed as a "super antioxidant." It is widely found in organisms such as shrimp, crabs, salmon, and Haematococcus pluvialis.etc . It efficiently scavenges free radicals and protects against UV damage, excelling in safeguarding eye health, enhancing reproductive function, maintaining cardiovascular health, and boosting immunity. it is extensively used in feed, health supplements, cosmetics, and food industries, making it a highly sought-after natural functional ingredient. It also plays a significant role in coloring, particularly in aquatic organisms and aquaculture.

Astaxanthin exerts its biological effects through powerful antioxidant activity and anti‑inflammatory regulation. As a lipid‑soluble carotenoid, it crosses cell membranes and the blood‑brain barrier easily, neutralizing reactive oxygen species and free radicals by donating electrons without becoming pro‑oxidant itself. It stabilizes cell membranes by inserting into the lipid bilayer, reducing oxidative damage to lipids, proteins and DNA. Meanwhile, astaxanthin inhibits the overexpression of pro‑inflammatory mediators and modulates inflammatory signaling pathways, alleviating chronic oxidative stress and inflammation‑related cellular injury. It also protects mitochondrial function, enhances cellular energy metabolism, and reduces oxidative stress‑induced apoptosis, thereby supporting skin health, eye function, cardiovascular protection and immune regulation at the cellular level.

The  mian source of astaxanthin is Haematococcus pluvialis, a microalgae that synthesizes and accumulates large amounts of astaxanthin. Marine organisms such as salmon, krill, shrimp, and crabs ingest Haematococcus pluvialis, leading to the deposition of astaxanthin in their bodies, making it a secondary natural source. Additionally, there are industrially synthesized astaxanthin and astaxanthin derived from fermentation methods. Among these, algae-derived natural astaxanthin exhibits higher activity and better safety, making it the mainstream raw material for health supplements. Our astaxanthin is from Haematococcus pluvialis
