Tagetes Erecta Extract 5% Lutein from Xi'an Herbs Valley is a plant-based ingredient sourced from marigold blooms (Tagetes erecta) and provided as an orange powder. The extract contains 5% lutein, a naturally occurring antioxidant and carotenoid pigment found in several plant-derived foods. Lutein is often called the "eye vitamin" because it occurs naturally in the retina and macula and helps filter specific high-energy light.
Lutein is commonly found in nutritional and dietary supplements, especially those aimed at promoting eye and visual health. As an antioxidant carotenoid, it has also been studied for its possible effects on cognitive abilities, skin protection, and heart health. Studies have investigated lutein in relation to oxidative stress and light-induced damage, though results and applications may vary by formulation and purpose.
Extract of Tagetes Erecta with 5% Lutein can be added to dietary supplements, eye health and visual wellness products, carotenoid formulations, antioxidant-rich blends, and various nutritional items. It is suitable for capsules, tablets, nutritional mixtures, and herbal formulations, as well as private-label and contract manufacturing.
