ASTAXANTHIN POWDER:
Superior color enhancing feed additive. Astaxanthin pigmenting agent made from all natural algae source. Highest level of carotenoids in any natural product. Natural forms of astaxanthin are found in crustaceans such as Krill, Plankton and Shrimp but nowhere near the levels found here at 15,000 ppm. The natural esterfied form of astaxanthin is more effective than synthesized varieties and is identical to the pigments found in fish’s natural diet. Most aquatic animals can not metabolize Astaxanthin themselves and must obtain these necessary pigments through diet as part of the “food chain”. In their natural wild environment fish consume these carotenoid pigments in greater quantities and more readily assimilable forms than we can provide with most commercially prepared foods. This is the reason why supplementaion with natural Astaxanthin can be so helpful in captive livestock. Astaxanthin is also an excellent Anti-Oxident providing immune stimulating benefits and increased reproductive vigor. Will enhance the entire color spectrum but will be most effective in the red-orange hues. Add to finished feeds or your own custom prepared feed diets at the rate of 1/3 to 1 percent by weight (~ 1 tsp per pound of food).
