What Is Astaxanthin?
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid ingredient, CAS 472-61-7. ZXCHEM supplies a fine, dark violet powder with a minimum 2.5% HPLC assay. It is an ingredient grade rather than pure astaxanthin, so buyers should use the stated assay when comparing quotations and calculating the amount needed in a formula.
Dietary supplements, ingredient premixes and personal care products are potential applications. The powder is insoluble in water, and its strong color can affect the finished product. Test its dispersion and compatibility in your chosen carrier before moving from samples to bulk orders. Compare the TDS with the batch COA, including assay, appearance, moisture and microbiological limits.
For other formulation options, browse our nutrition ingredients or personal care ingredients. Request an astaxanthin quotation with your grade, quantity and destination.
Astaxanthin Applications
Dietary supplement formulations
The lipid-associated ingredient grade can be evaluated for suitable nutrition capsules. Formulation teams should match its assay and physical form to the intended carrier and manufacturing process.
Ingredient premixes
Manufacturers can combine the material with compatible ingredients in suitable premixes. Powder handling and dispersion in the selected carrier are useful comparison points when qualifying the supplier grade.
Personal care development
Suitable personal care formulations offer another application for the ingredient. Evaluate compatibility with the selected oil or emulsion system and define the grade required for sample and bulk supply.
