This month’s
newsletter highlights Fuji
’s AstaREAL®
P2AF powder.
AstaREAL® P2AF is a high quality
powdered astaxanthin extract exhibiting high potency, flowability and
stability using a unique formulation and process which eliminates the need
for gelatin and other components listed as major allergens by the US FDA.
This ingredient is suited for manufacturers who are particularly sensitive to
the end-users’ needs.
For example, the trends toward vegetarian supplements are growing. This is
not a direct result of the growth of vegetarians but rather a growth within
the general population based on an interest in healthier diet. Do not miss
out the opportunity to differentiate your products.
This ingredient contains 2%
natural astaxanthin
complex derived from Haematococcus
pluvialis microalgae. Fuji
has redesigned this product to fill multiple roles to
better serve dietary supplement manufacturing industry.
P2AF has excellent potency and processing characteristics so that it is ideal
for powder blending into hard capsules or tabletting by direct compression.
Beadlets on the other hand have poor powder characteristics and may extrude
under compression which impacts quality, stability and visual appeal.
Furthermore, depending on the market, another special feature is the water
dispersion application making ideal for mixing into supplement style
ready-to-drink or powdered instant beverages.
Finally, if you do the math, the AstaREAL®
P2AF ingredient costs per dose are reasonable. Normally,
you’d expect this kind of novel ingredient versatility to command
premium prices. So, don’t delay any longer and contact Fuji
for the nearest AstaREAL®
authorized supplier.
