axapearls™ 5 - Microencapsulated Natural Astaxanthin Powder, 5% | axabio®

Products

Information

Most astaxanthin formats force a trade-off: stability or versatility. Oleoresins are stable but limited to lipid systems. Standard powders disperse well but degrade under heat, light, and processing. axapearls™ 5 is built to do both: no compromise. axapearls™ 5 is a 5% natural astaxanthin powder from Haematococcus pluvialis, produced in Belgium using axabio's patented 4th-generation photobioreactors and microencapsulated with Nuversys' N-PEARLS™ technology. The result is a 50-micron, free-flowing powder with mechanical and thermal stability that protects astaxanthin from heat, light, and oxygen throughout processing, storage, and shelf life. What sets axapearls™ apart is controlled release in the small intestine, ensuring maximum absorption where it matters most. The encapsulation also prevents cross-link reactions with other ingredients, unlocking formulation combinations that weren't previously possible with standard astaxanthin formats. Key applications: powder capsules, dairy products, ice cream, chocolate, plant-based foods, juices, smoothies, sports nutrition bars, health bars, sachets, and on-the-go supplement formats. Premium flowability makes it ideal for automated filling and blending operations. Same molecular quality as all axabio products: supercritical CO₂ extraction (solvent-free), heavy metals below detection limits, optimized ester profiles, and exceptional batch-to-batch consistency. Certified: FSSC 22000 · B Corp · EU Novel Food · Non-GMO · Vegan · Halal · Kosher · Gluten-free · Allergen-free. Sustainably made: B Corp-certified, 100% renewable energy, closed-loop CO₂ capture.
