Description
Natural Astaxanthin Powder 2% is a potent carotenoid antioxidant derived from the microalgae Haematococcus pluvialis. Astaxanthin is the pigment that gives salmon and flamingos their red color and is recognized as one of nature's most powerful antioxidants, with a well-documented role in skin protection, eye health and sports recovery. This grade is a reddish-brown, free-flowing, cold-water-soluble powder that disperses smoothly into drinks and blends. The 2% standardization allows precise, low-volume dosing in supplements and functional foods. Produced to USP/EP standards with a 24-month shelf life and strict contaminant controls, it offers a natural, algae-derived astaxanthin source that formulators and consumers alike trust. The microalgae are cultivated under controlled conditions, ensuring a clean and sustainable supply. It is packed in 25 kg drums or 20 kg cartons and keeps for 24 months stored below 25 degrees Celsius. The powder passes 40 mesh, ensuring even distribution in capsules and blends. In practice it is filled into capsules or blended into drink powders at small doses, where its deep red tone is masked by shells and flavors. It also suits gummy formats where the algae-origin story matters. Every batch is released against a full quality panel covering appearance, purity, heavy metals and microbiology, so each shipment arrives with documented conformity and traceable batch records. How the 2% astaxanthin works: Haematococcus pluvialis produces astaxanthin as a protective pigment when stressed, and the harvested powder carries the strongest natural antioxidant story in the carotenoid family - supporting skin protection, eye health and exercise recovery. The 2% CWS powder disperses in water and blends uniformly into capsules, drinks and gummies. Practical guidance: fill capsules and softgels for antioxidant support; build beauty drinks and functional waters; add it to sports recovery powders; and use it in pet nutrition for coat and skin health. Quality assurance: produced to USP/EP standards with astaxanthin assay, particle size, heavy metals and microbiology tested per batch, documented for buyers. Packed in 25 kg drums or 20 kg cartons, stored below 25 degrees Celsius, with a 24-month shelf life. For premium antioxidant brands, this algae-derived powder is the credible, natural choice. Specification highlights: it is packed in 20kg/carton with a minimum order quantity of 100kg. Certificates of analysis accompany every shipment, and sample supply, specification customization and flexible payment terms are available for qualified buyers, supported by the standardized seven-step service process from inquiry to after-sales support. Compliance and quality at a glance: the product is manufactured under the standards referenced in its specification sheet, and every batch is tested for identity, purity, heavy metals and microbiology before release. Batch records, test reports and certificates are kept and supplied for buyer qualification, audit and regulatory filing, and the product is stored and shipped in its original packaging to preserve quality through the supply chain. For industrial buyers, this documented quality system means one qualification covers years of consistent supply, with the specification sheet serving as the contractual reference for every delivery.
