Astaxanthin adalah pigmen karotenoid yang terutama diproduksi oleh mikroalga (Haematococcus pluvialis), dikenal dengan kapasitas antioksidan yang kuat. Produksi Jepang yang dipelopori oleh Fuji Chemical Industry dan ENEOS menggunakan budidaya mikroalga sistem tertutup. Beberapa notifikasi FFC Jepang mengutip astaxanthin untuk dukungan kesehatan mata, kesehatan kulit, dan antioksidan.

Two principal Japanese producers are commonly referenced: Fuji Chemical Industry (富士化学工業, AstaReal® brand) — pioneering closed-system Haematococcus pluvialis cultivation and one of the largest natural astaxanthin producers globally — and ENEOS (formerly JX Nippon Oil & Energy / J-OIL MILLS in some product lines), with the Panaferd® brand from Paracoccus carotinifaciens for animal feed pigmentation and human-supplement variants. AstaReal® is the most-cited branded source in Japanese FFC notifications.

Industry-typical MOQ is 1–10 kg for oil-based concentrates (5–10% astaxanthin in oil) and 100 g–1 kg for spray-dried encapsulated powders (typically 1.5–3% astaxanthin), with 6–12 week lead times. Microalgae cultivation cycles and the careful downstream processing required to preserve oxidation-sensitive astaxanthin are the principal drivers of lead time. Branded materials (AstaReal®, Panaferd®) come with documentation packages supporting EU Novel Food, Japan FFC, and US GRAS positioning.

Standard COA: total astaxanthin (HPLC), free-form vs. esterified ratio, stereoisomer profile (3S,3'S preferred for natural Haematococcus), peroxide value, oxidation-stability data, microbiological limits, heavy metals (with attention to mercury for any marine sources), and source-organism documentation. Certifications: kosher, halal, non-GMO, organic (where applicable), allergen-free statement. Stability data are critical: request real-time and accelerated-condition studies in the proposed packaging configuration.

EFSA's ADI of 0.034 mg/kg body weight/day (approximately 2 mg/day for a 60 kg adult) means that supplement products targeting EU markets typically need to dose at or below 2 mg/day per serving — significantly below the 4–12 mg/day common in Japanese and US products. Manufacturers building dual-region supplement lines often run two SKUs (EU-compliant lower-dose and Japan-FFC higher-dose) or design label warnings for vulnerable populations. Confirm with regulatory counsel for each market.
