Marigold Extract Introduction:
Lutein is a natural substance widely present in vegetables, flowers, fruits and other plants. It belongs to the “carotenoid” family of substances. It is known that there are more than 600 carotenoids in nature, of which only about 20 are found in In human blood and tissues. The carotenoids found in the human body mainly include α-carotene, β-carotene, cryptoxanthin, lutein, lycopene and n-flavin.
Medical experiments prove that the natural lutein contained in plants is an excellent antioxidant.
Adding a certain amount of lutein to food can prevent cell aging and body organ aging, and at the same time, it can prevent age-related macular degeneration. Caused by vision loss and blindness, through a series of medical studies, carotenoids have been proposed as cancer preventive agents, life-prolonging agents, ulcer relief agents, heart attack and coronary artery disease relief agents.
At the same time, lutein can also be used as a feed additive for coloring poultry meat and eggs, and has also been used as a coloring and nutritional health agent in the food industry.
