CAS Number: 472-61-7

Molecular Formula: C40H52O4

Structural Formula: 

Free Astaxanthin Structural Formula

Core Production Process

VDK relies on its proprietary synthetic biology platform and uses self-developed, IP-protected biosynthesis technology to produce free astaxanthin. The product features a highly uniform stereoisomer profile (3S,3'S), with a high content of the all-trans isomer. With fully controlled core technology and clear intellectual property ownership, there is no risk of infringement, ensuring both technological advantages and reliable product quality.

Core Advantages

  • 01.

    All-trans astaxanthin (3S,3'S) offers excellent bioavailability and efficiently meets downstream application needs.

  • 02.

    The product's C14 test showed 100% naturalness.

  • 03.

    The product assay is over 95%, with less impurities such as other carotenoids;

Purity Verification

VDK® Free Astaxanthin (3S, 3'S) features a high trans-isomer ratio and a 3S, 3'S all-L-isomer structure, with low levels of other carotenoids and no harmful impurity peaks.
