Basic Info
Xanthophyll is a carotenoid (marigold extract), a photosynthetic colorant that is found naturally in many vegetables, including spinach, broccoli, cabbage and others. Flowers, fruits, and other plants contain xanthophyll (marigold extract). It has the ability to transfer the light energy absorbed to chlorophyll in a state that allows it to convert the light energy.
Pure product is a yellow lattice crystal with metallic luster. It is insoluble in water and insoluble to light or hydrogen. However, it can be dissolved in oils, fats, and other fatty solvents. Store it in a dry, cool place away from the light.
Xanthophyll, also known as marigold or lutein, is one of the most popular botanical substances. Xanthophyll, a powerful antioxidant that protects against cancer and heart disease as well as preventing the development of these diseases, is also important for protecting the eyes. Lutein, an important carotenoid for the eye, is a powerful antioxidant. According to a report published in Ophthalmology, foods that contain lutein can prevent and treat cataracts as well as protect the eyes against age-related macular degradation.

♦In the field of healthcare:
In the field of healthcare, Xanthophyll is the “natural guardian” that protects the eyes. The main pigment in the macular area of the human retina is lutein, which can filter harmful blue light to the eyes, resist oxidative stress damage to the eyes, and prevent the occurrence of eye diseases such as retinal and macular diseases, as well as cataracts. Meanwhile, as age increases, the content of Xanthophyll in the macular area of the retina gradually decreases. Proper supplementation of lutein can help maintain normal physiological function in the macular area, prevent age-related macular degeneration, and improve visual function and prevent eye diseases, which is of great significance.
♦In the sector of the food industry:
In the food industry, Xanthophyll is a natural pigment. For synthetic pigments, it is safe and non-toxic, and is a natural bright yellow or orange yellow color. For example, adding lutein to refined foods, food, dairy products, etc. can not only enhance the color and visual appeal of the food, but also increase the nutritional value of the product, meeting consumers’ requirements for delicious food. Of course, you can also compete in the market.
♦The use of feed additives:
Xanthophyll is a feed additive. Adding Xanthophyll to food can enhance its vitality, appeal, and color, and increase the commercial value of poultry products. In the aquaculture industry, the addition of lutein and the efficacy of food, as well as the color of fish, shrimp, and other aquatic products, make more nutrients unique to the local species and attractive in the market. In addition, lutein has the effects of enhancing animal antioxidant capacity, strengthening corporal defense ability, reducing animal reproduction, and promoting animal health.
♦The purpose of cosmetics
