Premium Fucoxanthin Powder - Natural Marine Carotenoid for Metabolic Health

Fucoxanthin powder is a special type of carotenoid found in high-quality brown algae, like Wakame (Undaria pinnatifida), Laminaria japonica, and oceanic kelp. It originates from pure nearshore seas in Northern Europe, Chile, and Shandong. This substance promotes healthy metabolism. Without the need for stimulant-based negative effects, our powder's unique composition naturally promotes fat burning by activating UCP1.We provide a range of grades, from a very pure 50% supercritical CO2 extract to a more reasonably priced 5% ethanol extract. These choices use sophisticated microencapsulation to enhance stability and absorption. For softgels, beverages, and functional meals, we also provide conventional fat-soluble and modified water-dispersible formulations.

Why Choose Us

We can satisfy your demands since Shaanxi Rebecca Bio-Tech has three manufacturing lines with an annual capacity of over 2,000 tons.

· Verified Marine Raw Materials: HPLC fingerprinting confirms the exact algae species used — we don’t use low-quality Sargassum.We also have organic-certified seaweed processed on independent lines, with complete tracking back to the ocean source.

· Advanced Extraction Technology: We use two methods — ethanol extraction for grades 5%-20% and supercritical CO for 50% pure product — ensuring no harmful residues are left behind.

· Comprehensive Testing Lab: Our lab has UPLC, ICP-MS, and GC-MS systems.Every batch has a COA/MSDS report, and third-party verification from SGS or Eurofins is also available.

· Quality Certifications: We have ISO9001, ISO22000, FSSC22000, HACCP, HALAL, KOSHER, and NOP/EOS Organic certifications.

Why Choose Us

Algae Origin Classification

Common Grade: Shandong coastal farms produce brown algae on a large scale; perfect for typical 5%–10% compositions.

Premium Grade: Only used for high-purity 20%–50% goods; wild-harvested kelp from Chile and Northern European seas with little heavy metal contamination.

Organic Grade: Pollution-free regions with USDA/EU certification and origin proof.processed on different manufacturing lines.

To preserve the natural fucoxanthin content, the algae are dried at low temperatures (40–45°C) after harvest.Any tainted or rotten biomass is mechanically removed during the sorting process.

Algae Origin Classification

Solubility & Stability Characteristics

Solubility Profiles

· Standard Fat-Soluble Fucoxanthin Powder: It dissolves well in ethanol, MCT, and vegetable oils but not in water.

· β-Cyclodextrin Modified Powder: It dissolves entirely in both hot and cold water, resulting in a transparent solution with little settling.

Stability Parameters

Factor

Behavior

Temperature

Stable ≤60°C; rapid oxidation >75°C causes browning

Light Sensitivity

Extreme UV sensitivity; requires light-proof packaging

pH Range

Stable pH 5.0-8.0; degrades in strong acid/alkali

Hygroscopicity

5%>10%>20%>50% (inversely proportional to purity)

All grades include natural Vitamin E antioxidant fortification to extend shelf life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What's the difference between 20% and 50% specifications?

A: The 20% grade is economical for frequent supplementation and employs ethanol and resin purification. Supercritical CO2 and chromatography are used in the 50% grade to provide pharmaceutical-quality goods with extremely minimal contaminants.

Q: Can I use standard powder in beverages?

A: No. Oil-based carriers are needed for the fat-soluble powder. You should get our β-cyclodextrin water-soluble grade (200 mesh) for beverages.

Q: How do you ensure freshness?

A: We only utilize algae that has been gathered this season, and we dry it right away at low temperatures. Before processing, HPLC fingerprinting looks for materials that are moldy or old.

Q: Is this suitable for vegan capsules?

A: Yes. There are no ingredients originating from animals in our powder. Vegetable cellulose capsules can flow smoothly thanks to the particle size (80–120 mesh).

Q: What's the recommended storage condition?

A: Keep in a dry, cold (≤25°C) location that is shielded from light. Use within six months of opening to maintain potency.
