Cyanotech launches BioAstin – a water dispersible Astaxanthin powder

Cyanotech, a manufacturer of microalgae-based nutrition and health products, has launched BioAstin Hawaiian Astaxanthin in a new delivery form, water dispersible powder.

BioAstin, which is a brand of Astaxanthin, is available in 1% as well as 2% concentration. It is now offering its new water dispersible powder to the bulk ingredients market across the world.

BioAstin Hawaiian Astaxanthin said to be a powerful antioxidant, which is extracted from natural Haematococcus pluvialis microalgae cultivated on the Kona Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii.

According to the company, Astaxanthin is a superior nutrient for formulations and condition specific products.

Dr. Gerry Cysewski – Chief Scientific Officer and CEO of Cyanotech said: “Cyanotech’s water dispersible natural astaxanthin powder is unique – we’ve formulated with a proprietary blend of plant fibers.

“Our innovative proprietary blend creates the ideal delivery system for this type of technology. The purity of the formulation eliminates the need for extra unnatural compounds that are found in microencapsulation technologies.”

BioAstin Hawaiian Astaxanthin Water Dispersible Powder is said to be free-flowing and is dispersible in hot and also cold water. It can be readily incorporated into drink powder mixes, ready to drink beverages, fruit juices, teas, and also carbonated beverages.

The powder has a neutral flavor, which is similar to other plant-based proteins, but can be mixed with various flavor profiles to get the desired taste.
