Application of astaxanthin

Astaxanthin is a keto carotenoid, the chemical name is 3,3′-dihydroxy-4,4′-diketo-β,β′-carotene, red solid powder, fat-soluble, insoluble Water, soluble in organic solvents. It exists widely in the biological world, especially in the feathers of aquatic animals such as shrimps, crabs, fish and birds, and plays a role in color rendering.
Astaxanthin is a chain-breaking antioxidant. It has strong antioxidant capacity, can remove nitrogen dioxide, sulfide, disulfide, etc., can also reduce lipid peroxidation, and effectively inhibit lipid peroxidation caused by free radicals.

It has a good therapeutic effect on skin cancer caused by ultraviolet rays, and also has a preventive effect on eye diseases caused by diabetes. It has broad application prospects in cosmetics, Food Additives and aquaculture.

In addition to biological extraction, astaxanthin can also be produced by chemical synthesis, algae, bacteria and yeast. In addition, the application of DNA recombination technology to construct high-yield astaxanthin genetic engineering is also under study.

AMULYN Astaxanthin is extracted from Haematococcus pluvialis, It is available in astaxanthin oil and Astaxanthin Powder depending on the specification, It can be used in capsules, tablets, gummies, etc.
