Compared with natural astaxanthin powder, synthetic astaxanthin has a larger market share. However, synthetic product is expensive and inferior to natural in terms of stability, oxidative activity, and biosafety. Therefore, it is imperative to develop and utilize natural astaxanthin. It is over 500 times stronger than vitamin E and more potent than other carotenoids such as lutein, lycopene, and beta-carotene.

Haematococcus Pluvialis cells are rich in natural astaxanthin. Most astaxanthin contains L-all-trans astaxanthin. It is esterified with C16, C18, or C20 fatty acids to form astaxanthin esters. Astaxanthin monoester is approximately 75%, astaxanthin diester approximately 20%, and free astaxanthin about 5%. This combination method is similar to the ratio of astaxanthin in aquatic animals, which is more conducive to the absorption and utilization of marine animals. Therefore, the Haematococcus Pluvialis natural astaxanthin powder has the characteristics that synthetic and other sources of astaxanthin do not have.
Better Absorption and Coloring Effect
In practical applications, synthetic astaxanthin's absorption and utilization capacity by farmed animals is much lower. When the level of astaxanthin added to the feed was quiet, the natural astaxanthin concentration in fish blood was significantly higher than synthetic astaxanthin. Therefore, synthetic is much worse than natural in terms of the coloring effect.
Better Biosecurity
Synthetic astaxanthin may produce other by-products during chemical reactions. And it may remain in aquatic animals. Human consumption may cause hidden dangers to physical health. Many countries have recognized the safety of natural astaxanthin contained in Haematococcus Pluvialis. At present, many studies have shown that: The natural has no pathogenic effects and toxic side effects on the human body.
The Natural Astaxanthin Powder extracted by Qyherb using Haematococcus Pluvialis through professional technology and craftsmanship has been exported to the international market. Due to the excellent physiological functions of astaxanthin, many countries have applied it in the food, medical and feed industries. The aquaculture industry is the most widely used, and good results have been achieved, and the market prospect is extensive.
