What is Canthaxanthin powder ?
Canthaxanthin powder is a natural pigment with great potential as an antioxidant, which has the ability to quench active oxygen and scavenge free radicals. Its ability to quench active oxygen and scavenge free radicals is second only to astaxanthin, nearly twice that of β -carotene and fifty times that of vitamin E, also known as super vitamin E.. In 1984, FDA/WHO approved its inclusion as a food additive and established quality standards. Canthaxanthin powder has been widely used as a colorant, a nutrient and an antioxidant and added to food, feed and cosmetics. Natural Canthaxanthin exists in some mushrooms, crustaceans, fish, algae, eggs, blood and liver, and its content is very small. In addition, some microorganisms can also produce it.
