Astaxanthin (pronounced asta-ZAN-thin) is one of the world’s strongest naturally-occurring carotenoids. Numerous studies have found this antioxidant to be beneficial in helping to prevent or treat a variety of diseases, boost immune systems, increase sports recovery, and protect from harmful sun damage. Astaxanthin is most commonly found in microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis which is the primary diet of aquatic animals such as salmon, flamingos, shrimp, lobster, crab, etc. thus giving them their rich red/pink pigment. PIVEG extracts this natural pigment for application in the nutritional supplement, cosmetic, and pet health industries. With its countless health benefits, Astaxanthin is growing to become the most popular carotenoid on the market.<br /><br />Seaforest astaxanthin beadlets are 100% natural purified Astaxanthin extracted from algae (Haematococcus pluvialis), which has been standardized and stabilized with antioxidants, micro-encapsulated with unique double-shell embedding technology, providing improved stability while increasing application options of astaxanthin.<br /><br />Appearance: Free flowing, fairly homogeneous particles, with intense orange to red color, a granular-flake shape and mild characteristic odor.<br /><br />Features:<br /><br /><br /> Rapid Dispersion in Cold Water<br /> Double Shell Structure<br /> Enhanced Shelf Life<br /> Improved Stability<br /> Superior Mechanical Strength<br /> Odorless<br /><br /><br />Solubility: Dispersible in cold water forming a red dispersion.<br /><br />Applications: Designed for direct compression for tablets production, sports nutrition, energy bars, candies, as well as two piece capsules, etc. <br /><br />Available Concentrations<br /><br /><br /> Astaxanthin Beadlets 1 %<br /> Astaxanthin Beadlets 2 %<br /> Astaxanthin Beadlets 2.5 %<br /> Astaxathin Beadlets 3 %<br /><br /><br />Shelf Life: 24 months when kept properly.
