What is Natural Astaxanthin Powder?
Natural Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis
Natural Astaxanthin Powder is an algae-derived carotenoid ingredient derived from one of the most used algae sources for commercial formulations, Haematococcus pluvialis.
This ingredient gives the manufacturer, with a focus on products containing naturally sourced carotenoids, a clear indication of the microalgal origin, in contrast to generic astaxanthin products, where it is not always possible to identify the source.
The powder format delivers the powder to the user, is easily handled, easily weighed, and is easy to incorporate in dry formulations. The different levels of available astaxanthin allow manufacturers to choose the appropriate concentration depending on their formulation system and the dosage desired.

Why Haematococcus pluvialis Matters?
Haematococcus pluvialis is a freshwater microalga that accumulates astaxanthin when cultured under certain conditions.
The source is a key component in selecting ingredients for the buyer, as it affects positioning, specification, processing, and formulation of the product.
Kingsci is working with Haematococcus pluvialis cultivation and astaxanthin production, offering a more integrated supply chain from cultivation of algae to the production of the end product – astaxanthin.
For brands and formulators interested in the following, this source-based approach is of special interest:
Naturally Sourced Astaxanthin Ingredients
Algae-derived carotenoid solutions
Botanical or microalgae of definite origin
Flexible astaxanthin concentrations
Ingredients appropriate for the world market
Specification Options for Different Formulation Requirements
Natural Astaxanthin Powder comes in 1%, 2%, 3%, and 5% Astaxanthin grades.
Different concentrations can be used to offer flexibility in the formulation of premixes, capsules, tablets, powders, and other finished products.
The specific selection may be dependent upon the active concentration, dosage form, carrier system, and/or processing conditions of the final product.
Kingsci can provide the required technical specifications for concentration, packaging method, and direction of formulation for projects requiring a certain concentration, packaging, and formulation direction, for evaluation.
From Algae Cultivation to Ingredient Supply
The natural astaxanthin source is the first step in determining the quality of a natural astaxanthin ingredient.
Kingsci has its own Haematococcus pluvialis planting base, which is located in Yunnan, China, and provides the algae-derived astaxanthin supply chain.
After the cultivation stage, controlled processing and quality tests are conducted for the production of practical commercial formats of astaxanthin ingredients.
This supply model is useful for manufacturers to consider the source and production history of the ingredient in addition to the final powder specification.

Powder Characteristics for Manufacturing
The powder is delivered as a dark red to reddish-brown material due to high levels of astaxanthin ingredients.
The dry product can be used as an ingredient in manufacturing applications in which a powdered carotenoid is desired rather than an oil-based raw material.
Common formulation factors to take into account are:
Other functional ingredients are blended with the material without the use of moist conditions.
Premix development
Tablet and capsule manufacturing
Powdered supplement formulations
Functional food systems
Formulating beauty and nutrition products
Environmental conditions of finished formulations must be considered when developing a product to ensure it maintains its carotenoid content so that the finished product is stable.
Where Natural Astaxanthin Powder Can Be Used?
1. Nutraceutical Formulations
The powder format is suitable to be used as a dietary supplement concept in which an algae-based astaxanthin ingredient is needed.
It can be used in:
Tablets
Hard capsules
Powder blends
Stick packs
Nutritional premixes
2. Functional Food and Beverage Systems
Natural astaxanthin could be added to an appropriate and appropriate powdered ingredient system for manufacturers working on functional food products.
The finished product processing temperature, moisture content, pH, and storage conditions should be considered when evaluating the application compatibility.
3. Beauty and Nutricosmetic Products
Natural Astaxanthin can also be used in formulation concepts that include carotenoid ingredients in treatment and nutrition concepts for beauty products.
The powdered format is a convenient starting material for dry premixes, capsules, and other solid-format products.
Natural Astaxanthin Powder VS Other Astaxanthin Formats
The various forms of astaxanthin can be used for different formulation needs.
1. Natural Astaxanthin Powder
A powder or powdered product in an algae-based format that is dry and suitable for manufacturers of powders, powdered products, tablets, and capsules.
A format suitable for oil formulation, softgels, and systems in which the active is blended into a carrier oil that is compatible with the active.
3. Microencapsulated Astaxanthin
A protected powder formulation for application in situations where increased dispersion and handling properties are necessary.
The selection of the format is not only determined by the concentration of astaxanthin, but also by the type of the finished product matrix.
