Astaxanthin Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- E161j
Astaxanthin supplier for food, nutraceutical, aquaculture, animal-feed and personal-care manufacturers in Malaysia. Astaxanthin is a red carotenoid used as a pigment and formulation antioxidant, with potency, source and carrier system selected for the finished product rather than assumed from colour alone.
Commercial options include standardised ingredient powders, stabilised feed beadlets or premixes, natural algal extracts and oil-dispersible forms. A 2% powder and 1 kg reference pack are known options, while other genuine potencies and formats can be requested against the buyer's specification.
Feed formulators use astaxanthin in aquaculture and poultry pigmentation programmes, while food and supplement manufacturers select powder or lipid forms for premixes, capsules and softgels. Cosmetic formulators may specify an oil-compatible grade where colour, stability and dispersion in the base matter.
Send the required active content, source preference, carrier, form, application, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Astaxanthin grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Astaxanthin 2% powder | standardised red carrier-based powder | 2% astaxanthin for this powder option | Ingredient premixes, nutritional products and feed formulations that call for a lower-concentration powder that is easier to meter and disperse than concentrated astaxanthin. | A 1 kg pack is a known reference option; final pack format is confirmed with the quotation. |
| Natural algal astaxanthin powder | dried extract or stabilised beadlet powder | Confirm the declared astaxanthin content and source with the quotation. | Food, supplement and personal-care formulations where natural algal source, declared potency and a suitable carrier system are part of the buyer's specification. | Confirm the required net weight and barrier packing with the quotation. |
| Feed-grade astaxanthin premix | stabilised powder or beadlet premix | Selected according to the required active content and carrier system. | Aquaculture, poultry and animal-feed premixes where pigment concentration, dispersion, feed process conditions and storage stability must be matched to the finished feed specification. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Oil-dispersible astaxanthin | oleoresin or oil suspension | Selected according to the required astaxanthin content and oil base. | Softgel, lipid-based food, cosmetic and related formulations that need an oil-compatible astaxanthin ingredient rather than a dry water-dispersible powder. | Confirm the required container and net weight with the quotation. |

Common questions about astaxanthin
What does astaxanthin 2% powder mean?
It is a standardised powder containing 2% astaxanthin in a carrier system. The lower concentration can make dosing and dry blending more practical, but the carrier, dispersibility and intended use still need to match the formulation.
Which astaxanthin form should I request?
Choose a dry powder or beadlet for premixes and feed applications, and an oil-dispersible grade for softgels or lipid-based formulations. State the process, target active content and dispersion medium so the enquiry can be matched to the appropriate form.
Can I specify natural algal astaxanthin?
Yes. Natural algal source can be made part of the enquiry together with the required astaxanthin content, carrier and documentation. Source type and specification are confirmed with the quotation rather than assumed from the product name alone.
Is food or supplement astaxanthin interchangeable with feed grade?
Not automatically. Feed, food, supplement and personal-care formulations can require different carrier systems, declarations and document sets. Identify the final use and required grade when requesting a quotation.
What packing and documents can be requested for astaxanthin?
A 1 kg size is a known reference option, while other pack formats depend on grade and source. Include the required specification sheet, safety data, certificate and source declaration in the enquiry for confirmation.
What details are needed for an astaxanthin price enquiry?
Provide the required potency, source, form, application, quantity, preferred packing, documentation and delivery location. These variables materially affect the grade selection and price.
