Question

I have Astaxanthin powder (5% Biosynthesis) which is not water-soluble. How can I effectively consume it by drinking?

Answer

Astaxanthin is a fat-soluble substance and does not dissolve in water. To consume Astaxanthin effectively, it should be taken with food containing fat to aid absorption into the body.

For Astaxanthin powder that is not water-soluble, if you wish to consume it by drinking, you can mix the Astaxanthin powder with beverages or food that contain fat, such as:

  • Mix with oil: Mix a small amount of Astaxanthin powder with vegetable oil, olive oil, or other oils you consume, and then drink it.
  • Mix with fatty beverages: Such as fresh milk, soy milk with fat, or other drinks containing cream or fat.
  • Mix with fatty foods: Such as full-fat yogurt, smoothies containing avocado or fatty seeds, or sprinkle it over a main meal that contains fat.

Mixing with fat helps Astaxanthin to disperse and be ready for better absorption in the digestive system.

Since the Astaxanthin you mentioned is a non-water-soluble powder, mixing it directly with plain water will not dissolve it and may result in poor absorption.
