Marigold Extract Lutein Powder

Our Marigold Extract Lutein Powder is derived from the petals of Tagetes erecta (marigold) or microalgae, standardized to 5%-90% lutein (with lutein ester content customizable from 10%-70%) . This high-purity powder is designed to deliver powerful antioxidant benefits while supporting eye health, cognitive function, and overall wellness.

Core Ingredients & Production

• Marigold Extract: The primary source of lutein, marigold petals contain 100 times higher lutein content than common fruits and vegetables, making it the ideal raw material for extraction .
• Cold-Press & Purification: Gentle extraction preserves heat-sensitive compounds, followed by molecular filtration and spray drying to ensure ≥95% purity and particle size ≤50μm .
• Lutein Ester Formulation: Available in food-grade lutein ester (10%-70% esterified), which is hydrolyzed in the body to free lutein for optimal absorption .

1.Eye Health:

• Protects Retina: Filters blue light and reduces oxidative stress, lowering the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts .
• Enhances Vision: Improves night vision and color perception by supporting rod and cone cell function .

2.Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory:

• Neutralizes free radicals, reducing the risk of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease and diabetes .

3.Cognitive & Skin Support:
