Products Description
Ultimate Vision Protection with Enhanced Stability
Our Lutein Ester Powder is extracted from Tagetes erecta (Marigold flowers) using solvent-free supercritical CO₂ technology, delivering 5%-80% standardized lutein esters (HPLC-verified). As a fat-soluble carotenoid, lutein esters offer 3× higher oxidative stability than free lutein, ensuring potency in heat-processed foods and supplements. Ideal for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and cosmetics, this non-GMO, allergen-free powder complies with FDA GRAS, EU Novel Food, and Halal/Kosher standards. Clinically proven to:
- Filter blue light (400–460 nm), reducing AMD risk by 26%
- Boost macular pigment density (MPOD) for improved visual acuity
- Act as a potent antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals linked to skin aging
Quality Control
- Batch-Wise Testing:Purity: HPLC for lutein ester quantification.
- Contaminants: Heavy metals (ICP-MS), 510-pesticide residue scan.
- Stability: 6-month accelerated aging (40°C/75% RH) to validate shelf life.
- Certificates: COA, MSDS, ISO 22000, Non-GMO Project, Halal/Kosher
