Solix Algredients Extends Its Solasta® Astaxanthin USP Quality Challenge and Confirms 2017 Spot Pricing

FORT COLLINS, Colo., Sept. 6, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Solix Algredients has extended its natural astaxanthin quality challenge to help dietary supplement and nutrition product supply chain professionals make fact-based decisions.

The "Solasta® Astaxanthin USP Challenge"¹ provides finished goods product manufacturers with a science-based, objective standard for reliability and confidence, which also benefits consumer end-users. That's because Solasta® natural astaxanthin conforms to the stringent United States Pharmacopeia (USP) astaxanthin standard, including testing for pheophorbide.² 

Astaxanthin ingredient buyers may receive up to a $500 credit towards their first purchase. In just two months, the challenge has generated strong participation from a wide range of companies that use natural astaxanthin in their consumer products.

"The Solasta® Astaxanthin USP Challenge makes it easy for customers to independently verify the USP quality of Solasta®," noted Charlie Bowman, Chief Commercial Officer, Solix Algredients. "We're pleased, but not surprised, that 100% of the participants have confirmed the USP quality of Solasta® natural astaxanthin."

Based on customer demand, Solix is extending the challenge. "To make sure additional nutrition product firms can take advantage of this business-building opportunity, we're extending the Solasta® Astaxanthin USP Challenge through the end of 2017," Bowman explained.

Further, Solix has confirmed its 2017 spot pricing for Solasta® natural astaxanthin as $225 per kg for 5% oleoresin and $450 per kg for 10% oleoresin.  Prices are FCA Fort Collins, Colorado.
