Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract Astaxanthin

     

         Astaxanthin, extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis, also known as lobster shell pigment, is a ketone carotenoid extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis. Astaxanthin is fat-soluble and widely found in shrimp, crabs, fish, algae, and fungi. In plants and algae, astaxanthin plays a dual role: absorbing light energy for photosynthesis and protecting chlorophyll from light damage. Carotenoids are red-orange organic pigments; unlike other carotenoids, astaxanthin can bind to both water and fats. Haematococcus pluvialis is considered the best microorganism in nature for producing natural astaxanthin and has become a research hotspot for the international production of natural astaxanthin.

1. Antioxidant: Astaxanthin possesses antioxidant properties, providing some protection for the skin and preventing wrinkles and pigmentation.

2. Vitamin A supplement: Astaxanthin can supplement the vitamin A needed for eye health and play a protective role in eye function. Teenagers and people who spend long hours working or studying on computers or mobile phones should consume more astaxanthin to reduce eye damage.

In the cosmetics industry, astaxanthin can be added to moisturizers, anti-wrinkle eye creams, face masks, lipsticks, and other products containing Haematococcus pluvialis extract.

In the health supplement industry, many companies have launched approximately 200 different types of capsules, oral liquids, and other health foods containing Haematococcus pluvialis extract. Haematococcus pluvialis extract is particularly popular in the United States, enjoying a high level of consumer appeal.

In the livestock industry, Haematococcus pluvialis extract is more easily absorbed and accumulated by many birds and fish than other carotenoids (such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and carotenoids). Therefore, it is primarily used in the feed industry as an additive in the feed of fish, crustaceans, and various birds.
