What Makes Our Marigold Extract Lutein Stand Out?

1. Improved Natural Colouring

Our extract is derived from the blooms of African marigold and imparts a bright yellow-orange colour to egg yolks, poultry skin and fish fillets. It is a natural and safe substitute for synthetic colourants.

Your buyers want clean-label items. That's precisely what our plant-based solution is for.

2. High Purity Trans-Lutein

Standardised to 2%–6% lutein with ≥82% trans-lutein to ensure you're getting the physiologically active form. This structure is in agreement with the natural profile of carotenoids present in human retinal tissue.

Formulation matters. Consistency matters. And we guarantee it every time with our HPLC confirmed batches.

3. Confirmed Antioxidant Properties

Lutein protects retinal membranes and cells against oxidative damage. It is useful for eye health, immune system function and cell integrity in a variety of species.

The science is sound and widely documented, from human supplements to animal nutrition.

4. Process-Stable & Easy to Use

We have a microencapsulated powder coated with an antioxidant that withstands feed pelleting, extrusion and normal manufacturing conditions. No deterioration, no mess.

You need ingredients that fit perfectly into your production line. This one does. 

5. Certified & Fully Compliant

We are certified to ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, FAMI-QS, Halal and Kosher. Each batch is accompanied by a Certificate of Analysis (COA) for complete transparency

Right documentation is the first step to global market access. We've got you covered.
