What is Natural Lutein Powder?
Natural Lutein is a powerful carotenoid antioxidant, renowned for its role in protecting and enhancing eye health. Our Lutein Powder is a concentrated form of this vital nutrient, directly extracted from the petals of the Tagetes Erecta (Marigold) flower. This fine, free-flowing powder is ideal for industrial use in eye health supplements, functional foods, and beverages, providing a consistent and potent ingredient for your production lines.
Sources of Our Lutein: Purely from Marigold Flowers
We are committed to purity and traceability. Our lutein is sourced exclusively from non-GMO Marigold flowers, cultivated in dedicated farms. The Marigold flower extract is rich in lutein esters, which are then saponified to create the potent, pure Lutein Crystals that form the basis of our powder. This controlled sourcing guarantees a stable supply of high-quality lutein free from contaminants.
The Efficacy of Lutein Powder: Science-Backed Benefits
Integrating our Natural Lutein Powder into your formulations can help you create products with compelling health claims that resonate with consumers.
- Blue Light Protection & Visual Performance: Lutein accumulates in the macula, acting as an internal "blue light filter" to protect the eyes from digital screens and sun exposure. This makes it a critical ingredient for blue light protection supplements.
- Powerful Antioxidant Support: It neutralizes free radicals caused by oxidative stress, supporting overall cellular health.
- Supports Macular Health: Regular intake is clinically shown to support macular pigment density, which is crucial for sharp and clear vision.
How Do We Produce High-Quality Lutein Powder?
Our production process is a testament to our commitment to quality. It begins with harvested Marigold flowers, which undergo a solvent extraction to obtain a crude lutein extract. This extract is then purified and saponified to create high-purity Lutein Crystals. Finally, these crystals are blended with carriers to create our standardized, water-soluble lutein powder, ensuring consistent potency and excellent mixing properties for your supplement manufacturing needs.
