Its composition includes approximately 30% astaxanthin-rich oleoresin (axapure® 10), ≤10% AquaCelle® microencapsulation system, and ≤45% silicon dioxide (E551), with 1% mixed tocopherols (Nutrabiol® T70) as a process additive. Vegan, GMO-free, allergen-free and non-irradiated.


Suitable for food supplement or cosmetic applications. Recommended use: dose level should be determined according to applicable local regulations. Storage: store at ≤25°C with relative humidity below 65% in the unopened original packaging. Once opened, keep cool and protected from light and preferably use within 2 months, or repackage free of oxygen and light to maintain the original best-before date.

Specs

Microencapsulated powder with ≥3% natural astaxanthin.

Key Features

  • Compression-Ready (CPO®)

CPO® technology absorbs the oily astaxanthin into a silica structure that resists tabletting pressure, converting a difficult oily active into a compressible, free-flowing powder suitable for direct compression and ready-to-mix formats.

  • Enhanced Stability

The microencapsulated structure shields the astaxanthin from heat, light, and oxygen, protecting the molecule and extending shelf life. Stable for 24 months in the unopened original packaging.

  • Enhanced Bioavailability (AquaCelle®)

The AquaCelle® self-emulsifying delivery system supports improved absorption of the natural astaxanthin.

  • Clean Formulating

The powder format supports vegan hard-capsule and tablet formulations without the oily-residue, leaching, or sticking issues of standard micro-encapsulated oils.

Application

  • Tablets

Powered by CPO® technology, axabeads™ 3 withstands high compression forces while maintaining ingredient integrity, enabling the production of stable, high-quality astaxanthin tablets without oily residue.

  • Hard Capsules

The free-flowing, granular powder ensures consistent capsule filling without oil leakage or sticking, making axabeads™ 3 an ideal ingredient for premium hard capsule formulations with enhanced bioavailability. 

Packaging

24-month shelf life in the unopened original aluminium bag, stored ≤25°C.
