Product Instruction 鈼?nbsp;Organic lutein powder CAS 127-40-2 from marigold Asteraceae Tagetes. Lutein is one of the most common Carotenoids widely presented in plants especially dark-green leafy vegetables. Lutein is synthesized only by plant itself and like other xanthophylls which is usually found in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale and Marigold Flower. 鈼?nbsp;In green plants, lutein act as modulate light energy and serve as a non-photochemical quenching agent to deal with triplet chlorophyll (an excited form of chlorophyll), which is over produced at very high light levels, during photosynthesis. Lutein is also a very important natural yellow pigment in our lives due to its color.

Age related vision loss or age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is caused by steady damage of the retina. 鈼?nbsp;Lutein powder probably acts by preventing oxidative damage of the retina cells. 鈼?nbsp;Marigold extract lutein is concentrated in the central part of the retina, called the macula. In the macula are yellow pigments (macular pigments composed of zeaxanthin and lutein) which protect the retina from damage of the photo-oxidative effect of blue light. 鈼?nbsp;Powdered Lutein can also reduce the risk for artery diseases. Studies have shown that persons with the highest lutein intake showed the lowest artery wall thickening. 鈼?nbsp;Xanthophyll also reduces the oxidation of LDL cholesterol thereby reducing the risk of artery clogging. 鈼?nbsp;Lutein can also reduce the risk of skin cancer and sunburn. Under influence of sunlight, free radicals are formed inside the skin.
Product application 鈼?nbsp;In food field, it is mainly used as food additives for colorant and nutrient. 鈼?nbsp;In pharmaceutical field, it is mainly used in vision care products to alleviate visual fatigue, reduce incidence of AMD, retinitis pigmentosa (RP), cataract, retinopathy, myopia, floaters, and glaucoma. 鈼?nbsp;Lutein powder in cosmetics, it is mainly used to whitening, anti-wrinkle and UV protection. 鈼?nbsp;Lutein and zeaxanthin in feed additive; it is mainly used in feed additive for laying hens and table poultry to improve the color of egg yolk and chicken. Make high commercial value fishes more attractive, such as salmon, trout and spectacular fish.
