AstaReal® Natural Astaxanthin is a branded carotenoid ingredient obtained from the microalga Haematococcus pluvialis. Astaxanthin is a naturally occurring red-orange pigment belonging to the carotenoid family. AstaReal® develops natural astaxanthin ingredients for use in nutritional supplements, food and beverage products, cosmetics, and other suitable formulations.
The ingredient is available in different formats designed for particular formulation requirements. Depending on the grade, these may include astaxanthin oil, powder, cold-water-dispersible powder, liquid emulsion, and whole-algae biomass. The astaxanthin concentration, physical properties, stability, and recommended handling conditions differ between formats.
The natural astaxanthin used in AstaReal® ingredients is derived from Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae. The finished ingredient may contain astaxanthin in esterified forms and other naturally occurring carotenoids, depending on the grade and processing method.
Astaxanthin concentration should always be stated according to the exact product specification. For example, AstaReal® P4AF is described in its product data sheet as a red powder containing at least 4.0% astaxanthin, expressed as free astaxanthin by HPLC. This specification must not be applied to other AstaReal® grades automatically.
Natural astaxanthin may be incorporated into suitable supplement formulations, including capsules, softgels, powders, and other delivery formats. The amount used depends on the ingredient concentration, formulation design, serving size, and applicable regulations.
Certain astaxanthin grades may be suitable for selected food and beverage applications where the ingredient's technical properties and regulatory permissions allow its use.
Selected grades may be evaluated for cosmetic formulations, subject to compatibility, stability, safety assessment, and local cosmetic regulations.
AstaReal® offers different ingredient formats to support formulation requirements such as dispersibility, concentration, flow properties, and stability. Select the format based on the finished product and verified manufacturer guidance.
The stated range of 52 micrograms to 2 milligrams per day should not be treated as a universal dosage for every AstaReal® ingredient. The appropriate intake depends on the specific finished product, astaxanthin concentration, intended use, product label, and applicable local requirements. For a commercial ingredient listing, distinguish the amount of astaxanthin itself from the total weight of the ingredient or carrier.
Before purchasing or using AstaReal® Natural Astaxanthin, verify the exact grade, assay, carrier ingredients, physical form, storage conditions, shelf life, and batch-specific Certificate of Analysis. Other relevant checks may include moisture, microbiological quality, heavy metals, and stability data, as applicable to the product.
Follow the grade-specific technical data sheet and packaging instructions. Astaxanthin ingredients may be sensitive to light, oxygen, temperature, and other environmental conditions. Do not apply storage limits from one grade to another without confirmation.
For sourcing enquiries, specify the AstaReal® grade, required astaxanthin concentration, physical form, intended application, quantity, and destination market. Availability, packaging, lead time, and documentation should be confirmed before placing an order.
