Products Description
Sourced from non-GMO Tagetes erecta (Marigold) via supercritical CO₂ extraction, our Natural Zeaxanthin Powder delivers 5%-80% purity-clinically proven to enhance macular pigment density by 30%, filter harmful blue light, and reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by 20%. As a key component of retinal macular pigment, zeaxanthin (CAS 144-68-3) synergizes with lutein to neutralize free radicals (ORAC: 28,000 µmol TE/g) and protect photoreceptor cells from oxidative damage. Certified ISO 9001, FDA-GMP, Halal, and Kosher. Ideal for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and ophthalmic supplements. Shelf life: 24 months at -20°C in nitrogen-flushed packaging.
Key Highlights:
👁️ Blue Light Defense: Absorbs 40% more high-energy blue light than synthetic alternatives.
⚡ Antioxidant Power: Neutralizes UV-induced free radicals, 150% more effective than β-carotene.
🌿 Bioavailability: Oil-soluble format optimized for softgel encapsulation (custom water-soluble versions available).
🌍 Sustainable Sourcing: Ethically farmed marigold flowers; zero solvent residues.
