Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract Astaxanthin 1%-10% Red Microalgae Super Antioxidant for Skincare Aquaculture & Wellness
No custom attributes available for this product.
Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract is a concentrated powder derived from Haematococcus pluvialis, a freshwater microalga renowned as the richest natural source of astaxanthin—a potent red carotenoid. During its lifecycle, the algae transitions from a green vegetative state to a red, astaxanthin-accumulating resting stage, yielding a dark red fine powder (80 mesh) with unparalleled antioxidant and coloring properties. Ideal for cosmetics, functional foods, aquaculture feed, and dietary supplements, it bridges microalgal biotechnology with modern wellness demands.

- Ultimate Antioxidant Shield: Astaxanthin neutralizes free radicals (e.g., singlet oxygen, peroxyl radicals) more effectively than vitamins C/E, protecting cells from oxidative stress.
- Skin Photoprotection: Shields against UV-induced damage, reduces photoaging signs (fine lines, hyperpigmentation), and boosts skin elasticity/moisture retention.
- Aquaculture Coloring Agent: Naturally enhances pink/red hues in salmon, shrimp, and crustaceans (safer alternative to synthetic pigments).
- Metabolic & Eye Health: Crosses blood-brain/retinal barriers to support cognitive function and visual wellness (via anti-inflammatory pathways).
- Immune Modulation: Enhances immune cell activity (e.g., T-cells, macrophages) to bolster defense against environmental stressors.
- Cosmetics: Anti-aging creams, sunscreens, and serums (pre/post-sun care) for UV protection and skin rejuvenation.
- Functional Foods: Natural colorant/additive in beverages, snacks, and supplements (boosts nutritional value).
- Aquaculture Feed: Enhances pigmentation in farmed fish/shrimp, improving market appeal.
- Dietary Supplements: Encapsulated/tableted for antioxidant support, eye health, or exercise recovery.
