Lutein Powder

High-Purity Lutein Powder | 5%-20% Natural Lutein from Marigold | Eye Health Support for Supplements, Functional Foods & Cosmetics

Our Lutein Powder is a premium, natural carotenoid extract derived from the petals of Tagetes erecta (marigold), standardized to contain 5%-20% lutein-a powerful antioxidant known for its role in supporting eye health, particularly macular function. As a leading manufacturer and supplier, we specialize in producing high-quality lutein powder with exceptional purity and stability, leveraging advanced extraction techniques to preserve its natural bioactivity.

Sourced from organically grown marigold petals (non-GMO, pesticide-free) harvested at peak lutein content, our extract undergoes a gentle, solvent-free process to concentrate this key carotenoid. Unlike synthetic alternatives, our lutein powder is free from artificial additives, ensuring it aligns with clean-label demands. Trusted by nutraceutical, food, and cosmetic brands worldwide, it meets strict international standards (USP, EP, FDA) and is ideal for formulations targeting eye health, antioxidant support, and natural pigmentation.

Quality Control Measures

1.Raw Material Testing: Each marigold batch is tested for lutein content (minimum 1.5% in dried petals) and pesticide residues. Only organically certified petals are used.

2.In-Process Monitoring: Extraction pressure and temperature are logged hourly to ensure optimal lutein retention (sensitive to heat).

3.Purification Checks: HPLC analysis verifies separation of lutein from other carotenoids, ensuring target potency.

4.Final Product Testing:

• Lutein and zeaxanthin content measured via HPLC (accuracy within ±2% of labeled concentration).
• Oxidative stability tested under accelerated conditions (40°C/75% RH) to confirm 24-month shelf life.
• Heavy metals (ICP-MS) and microbial testing (ISO 21528) meet global safety standards.

5.Traceability: Each batch assigned a unique ID, linking to petal source, extraction parameters, and test results (accessible via client portal).

• Natural Marigold Sourcing: Derived from organically grown marigold petals, ensuring high bioavailability and purity.
• Standardized Potency: 5%-20% lutein (HPLC-verified) with naturally occurring zeaxanthin for synergistic eye health support.
• Dual Formulations: Available in oil-dispersible or water-dispersible variants for versatile applications.
• Antioxidant Power: Protects cells from oxidative stress, with specific benefits for retinal health and blue light protection.

Our Lutein Powder delivers targeted benefits across industries, harnessing its role as a key eye health nutrient and natural antioxidant:

• Dietary Supplements: The primary application for lutein powder is in capsules, tablets, and powders focused on eye health. Its standardized lutein content makes it ideal for formulations supporting macular health, reducing eye strain, and protecting against age-related vision issues. Brands often pair it with zeaxanthin, vitamin A, or omega-3s to create comprehensive eye support blends, appealing to consumers concerned with digital eye strain and long-term vision wellness.
• Functional Foods & Beverages: Added to fortified cereals, yogurt, smoothies, and energy bars to boost nutritional profiles with eye health benefits. Water-dispersible lutein powder integrates seamlessly into clear beverages, while oil-dispersible versions work in nut butters and cooking oils-all aligning with "functional food" trends. It imparts a subtle orange hue, enhancing visual appeal without artificial coloring.
• Cosmetics & Skincare: Formulated into creams, serums, and sunscreens for its antioxidant and photoprotective properties. Lutein powder helps shield skin from UV-induced damage, reduce oxidative stress, and support a youthful appearance, making it a valuable ingredient in anti-aging and protective skincare lines.
• Animal Feed: Mixed into poultry and aquaculture feed to enhance egg yolk, skin, and flesh pigmentation. It provides a natural alternative to synthetic carotenoids, improving product quality in eggs, salmon, and shrimp.

• Carotenoid Expertise: 25+ years specializing in lutein extraction, with proprietary techniques to maximize purity and stability.
• Vertical Integration: Own marigold farms in India and China ensure control over raw material quality and sustainable cultivation.
• Advanced Extraction: Uses supercritical CO₂ or water-based methods (no harsh solvents) to preserve lutein's bioactivity.
• Global Certifications: GMP, ISO9001, FDA-registered, Organic, Kosher, and Halal compliant-approved in 70+ countries.
• Custom Solutions: Ability to adjust lutein concentration (5%-20%), solubility, and particle size for client-specific needs.
• Scalable Production: Capacity to fulfill 1kg samples to 2,000-ton bulk orders with 7-day lead times for standard batches.
