What is AquaASTAX®
AquaASTAX® is a premium Chinese biosynthetic astaxanthin brand, delivering innovative whole-cell feed additives produced via advanced biosynthesis technology from yeast cells.

Backed by years of refined production expertise, AquaASTAX® guarantees eco-friendly, renewable supply with unmatched stability (over 95% astaxanthin retention after 90°C drying for 60 minutes) and bioavailability. Our cell-wall-disrupted powders (standard 2% and 5%, with customizable ratios) integrate seamlessly into feeds without additives, offering a sustainable, nature-identical alternative to synthetic sources. As a trusted partner for global animal nutrition, AquaASTAX® elevates product values, protects profits, and supports clean-label claims for plant-based, organic formulations.
AquaASTAX® Benefits
☑ Superior Coloring
Astaxanthin delivers vibrant, natural hues to salmon fillets and shrimp shells, a key consumer driver for perceived health and quality—favoring darker, premium appearances that boost market appeal and profitability.
☑ Anti-Stress Protection
Under challenging conditions like water temperature fluctuations, salinity changes, or pollutants, astaxanthin stabilizes cell membranes, enhances physiological adaptability, and minimizes stressor damage for resilient, high-performing animals.
☑ Enhanced ImmunityBy fortifying immune responses, astaxanthin reduces disease susceptibility and supports overall vitality, leading to healthier herds/flocks, lower mortality, and optimized feed efficiency in demanding aquaculture and livestock environments.
