What is marigold extract (Lutein) powder?

Marigold extract lutein powder can be described as the carotenoid pigment found naturally in marigold flower petals (Tagetes erecta). The preparation of the marigold extracts involves a process of extraction, which is followed by saponification of the naturally occurring Lutein esters in the marigold flower extract to form a more stable, readily-absorbable form of Lutein.

Compared to synthetic lutein, which is generally manufactured through chemical means, natural lutein from marigolds is created from a single plant source, and has an excellent consumer appeal for those who are searching for natural, "clean-label" nutritional products. Since humans can't produce lutein internally, either diet or supplementation is critical to supply sufficient amounts of lutein to keep the body at optimal levels of lutein.

With the increasing knowledge of eye health among the global population, lutein extract powder has become one of the most popular ingredients in eye health supplements, healthy aging formulations, children's nutrition products, and animal feed additives globally.

The main stages of our manufacuturing process are as follows:

- Saponification is done in a controlled manner to convert lutein esters into free lutein.
- Removal of impurities using advanced purification technology.
- Preparation of dry powders using exact methods of drying.
- The final product undergoes laboratory testing before shipment.

It will be a great benefit of that manufacturing process to improve product stability, and it will help to increase the bioavailability of free lutein as compared to the lutein ester form.

Improved Bioavailability 

Lutein identified naturally within the marigold blooms will exist in the form of lutein esters.

Higher bioavailability, therefore, explains why free lutein now represents the lutein of choice in most modern dietary supplement formulations.

Marigold Extract Lutein Powder vs Zeaxanthin 

Lutein and zeaxanthin are two closely related carotenoid compounds that generally work together synergistically. 

Lutein has a more even distribution in the retina, while blue light filtration and antioxidant protection are its primary functions. Zeaxanth is found mainly in the central macula and is responsible for providing additional support to maintain central vision. 

Lutein and zeaxanthin do not compete with each other, but complement each other and brand formulas of vision supplements include both lutein and zeaxanthin as ingredients to provide complete nutritional support to the eyes

Manufacturers looking for unique products can mix lutein with zeaxanthin. This combination brings extra benefits for consumers.

Can Marigold Extract Powder be used for Visional Supplements Daily? 

Absolutely Yes. 

The natural lutein extracted from marigold flowers has been used in many dietary supplements, foods and animal feed applications for many years. 

Since lutein occurs naturally in vegetables (spinach and kale), it has become practical to supplement with lutein on a daily basis to improve your daily dietary intake (especially when your diet is low in vegetables or when you're exposed to high levels of screens).
