Astaxanthin (Feed Additive, from Red Phaffia Yeast)

Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid pigment with extremely strong antioxidant capacity (10 times that of β-carotene, 200 times that of lutein and 550 times that of vitamin E). Jinhe's astaxanthin product is the fermentation metabolite of Red Phaffia Yeast , registered as feed additive "Red Phaffia Yeast". It has the same natural left-handed (3S,3'S) configuration as astaxanthin extracted from red algae, with higher yield and lower cost than natural extraction. It is widely used in aquaculture (salmon, trout, shrimp and crab for pigmentation), poultry (egg yolk and skin coloring), feed, health food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, and can improve animal immunity, growth performance and reproduction.
