Shaanxi New Things Biotech delivers zeaxanthin CWS powder extracted from marigold flowers (Tagetes erecta L.), offering specifications ranging from 5% to 70% purity verified by HPLC. Our advanced cold water soluble formulation ensures instant dispersibility in complex beverage systems and dietary supplements without oily residue or precipitation. With ISO 9001-certified manufacturing, HALAL and KOSHER compliance, and full traceability from plant cultivation to finished product, our product addresses critical industry requirements: enhanced bioavailability, photostability during shelf life, and precise AREDS2 formula compatibility for macular health support.

Zeaxanthin is a xanthophyll carotenoid naturally occurring in marigold petals. Its molecular formula C₄₀H₅₆O₂ (CAS 144-68-3) provides potent antioxidant capacity.
Our CWS technology solves traditional carotenoid challenges. The powder disperses uniformly in cold water within seconds, maintaining stability in acidic environments and electrolyte formulations. This makes it ideal for ready-to-drink beverages, powder premixes, and softgel manufacturing.
Each batch undergoes rigorous testing using HPLC and GC-MS equipment. We maintain consistent active ingredient levels while monitoring microbial limits and contaminants. Production follows GMP standards with supercritical fluid extraction technology.

Eye Health & Vision Support
Zeaxanthin accumulates in the macular region, filtering high-energy blue light. It pairs with lutein in the recommended 5:1 ratio for AREDS2-compliant formulations. This combination supports macular pigment density and reduces age-related vision decline risks.
Antioxidant Protection
The compound neutralizes singlet oxygen species and free radicals. It protects cellular structures from oxidative stress caused by UV radiation and environmental pollutants. This property extends its application to skin protection supplements.
Cognitive Function Enhancement
Emerging research links macular carotenoid concentration to brain health. Supplementation may support neural processing speed and memory retention in aging populations.

Dietary Supplements: Our microencapsulated beadlets can be compressed into tablets under high pressure without breaking. The protective shell prevents oil bleeding and ensures proper dose in softgels and caplets.
Functional Beverages: The CWS formulation instantaneously dissolves in vitamin drinks, sports hydration items and beauty beverages. Oily rings or sediment do not form during storage.
Nutricosmetics: Beauty-from-within products use zeaxanthin's UV protective qualities. It is still active in ingestible skincare lines with Vitamins C and E.
Feed Additives: Natural pigmentation and immune support benefits poultry and aquaculture applications.

We have integrated quality control system from raw material inspection to finished product release. Each batch of manufacturing is identified, analysed for purity and stability tested.
Advanced analytical techniques are used to check the accuracy of the active content. Microbiological tests are conducted to make sure the items meet international food safety requirements. Heavy metal screening protects against contamination risk.
The digital traceability system documents every processing step. Full supply chain transparency – see origin, extraction date and testing findings.

Keep in sealed containers, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Recommended Storage Conditions: Cool, dry place, below 25°C and relative humidity below 60%.
The zeaxanthin CWS powder was stable for 24 months under proper storage conditions. Use clean and dry instruments when working with to avoid moisture absorption. Close packages again after using.
Standard packing: 25kg fibre drums with interior aluminium foil bags for moisture barrier. We can tailor our products, such as vacuum-sealed pouches, nitrogen-filled bags and light-resistant bottles.
Anti-counterfeiting solutions and multilingual labelling on demand. Small trial batches of 1kg satisfy product development requirements.

Q: What's the difference between CWS powder and normal zeaxanthin?
A: Cold water soluble technology provides a protective layer that allows fast dispersion without the need for heat or solvents. This retains activity and facilitates formulation in temperature sensitive applications.
Q: Are certificates of analysis available?
A: Yes, each batch has a COA which includes the HPLC chromatogram, microbiological test findings and heavy metal screening data. Additional third party testing available upon request.
Q: What is the minimum order quantity?
A: MOQ is 25kg by standard. For research and development we can handle lower amounts. Free samples allow you to check quality before you commit.
Q: How do you ensure consistent potency?
A: Our vertical integration from marigold growth to extraction allows us to control quality at every step. Critical parameters are monitored by digital monitoring equipment, and reserve samples are available for retroactive analysis.
Q: Can you help with formulation?
A: We have a technical staff that does dosage recommendations, compatibility testing with other compounds and stability research. We support your product development from idea to market launch.
