Products Description
Unlock nature's most potent antioxidant with our Natural Astaxanthin Powder, sustainably extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae. This premium-grade ingredient delivers 1000x stronger free-radical scavenging power than Vitamin E, making it ideal for nutraceuticals, functional foods, cosmetics, and aquaculture. Our astaxanthin is non-GMO, gluten-free, and free from synthetic additives, ensuring superior bioavailability and stability. Sourced from controlled photobioreactor facilities, it guarantees purity from seed to shelf.
Quality Control

FAQ Section
Q1: Is synthetic astaxanthin used in your products?
No. We exclusively use Haematococcus pluvialis-derived natural astaxanthin (3S,3'S isomer).
Q2: How does CWS powder dissolve in cold water?
Our microencapsulated astaxanthin uses a plant-based matrix (e.g., gum arabic) for instant solubility.
Q3: Can this be used in EU-certified organic products?
Yes. We supply Ecocert-compliant batches upon request.
Q4: What's the MOQ for bulk orders?
Minimum order: 1 kg (samples available).
Q5: Does astaxanthin degrade during high-temperature processing?
Standard powder is heat-sensitive (>45°C). For baked goods, use our thermostable beadlet form.
