Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract,Astaxanthin Description of Haematococcus Pluvialis Extract,Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin is found in microalgae, yeast, salmon, trout, krill, shrimp, crayfish, crustaceans, and the feathers of some birds. It provides the red color of salmon meat and the red color of cooked shellfish. Professor Basil Weedon's group was the first to prove the structure of astaxanthin by synthesis, in 1975. Astaxanthin, unlike several carotenes and one other known carotenoid, is not converted to vitamin A (retinol) in the human body. Like other carotenoids, astaxanthin has self-limited absorption orally and such low toxicity by mouth that no toxic syndrome is known. It is an antioxidant with a slightly lower antioxidant activity in some model systems than other carotenoids. However, in living organisms the free-radical terminating effectiveness of each carotenoid is heavily modified by its lipid solubility, and thus varies with the type of system being protected.
Sunfull Astaxanthin is cultivated in perpendicular solar-powered photobioreactors controlled by a closed circulation system, which allows Haematococcus pluvialis to proliferate efficiently for the production of highly concentrated Astaxanthin up to 3.5%. Air pollution, biological and chemical contaminations are prevented and stable cultivation can be maintained. So the quality of our Astaxanthin is better than the open-air pool growth of micro algae Haematococcus pluvialis.
