What Is Marigold Extract Zeaxanthin?

The product is a xanthophyll carotenoid obtained from the petals of Tagetes erecta L. This naturally occurring molecule accumulates in the macular area of the human retina where it works as a selective blue light filter and a potent antioxidant.

Zeaxanthin is a particular geometric isomer (3R,3'R-beta,beta-carotene-3,3'-diol) that can target eye protection, unlike generic plant extracts. It addresses current health concerns such as blue light exposure from digital devices, age-related decrease of macular pigment and oxidative stress in eye tissues.

Our extraction procedure maintains the bioactive integrity and stability of zeaxanthin by using superior microencapsulation technology. Good for softgels, tablets, drinks and topical preparations with consistent bioavailability.

Key Benefits and Applications

Your customers want ingredients that produce genuine results. Zeaxanthin has both clinical validation and commercial validation in a number of industries.

For Nutraceuticals:

Our zeaxanthin is used in visual health supplements that focus on AMD prevention. Clinical studies demonstrate that supplementing with 10-20mg daily assists in preserving macular pigment optical density. The fine powder form enables excellent compressibility for tablet manufacture and homogeneous dispersion in softgel matrices.

For Functional Foods & Beverages: 

If you are creating eye-health drinks or fortified products, our cold-water-soluble (CWS) grade overcomes the frequent “ring phenomenon” - that unattractive oil separation at the necks of bottles. The nano-emulsion technology provides steady suspension during the whole shelf life of your product.

For Use in Cosmetic:

Marigold Extract Zeaxanthin is a potent ingredient in anti-aging skincare due to its photoprotective qualities. It is designed to target free radicals created by UV and blue light exposure minimising oxidative damage to skin cells. The natural orange pigment is also a clean-label colourant.

For the Feed Industry:

Our free form zeaxanthin is thoroughly saponified (>98%) to ensure rapid deposition in poultry tissues. Naturally improve colour of egg yolks and pigmentation of broiler skin, replacing synthetic options, and addressing consumer interest in natural feed additives.

FAQ

Q: What is the difference between 5%, 10% and 20%? How do you choose?

A: The percentage is the zeaxanthin content. For feed applications and basic supplements when cost effectiveness is important, use 5%. Choose 10% for common nutraceutical items of modest potency. Choose 20% for premium formulas, cosmetics and items that require higher actives in smaller serving amounts.

Q: Lutein free or lutein esters?

A: We do both of those. The free lutein is absorbed directly in the digestive system without enzymatic conversion. Lutein esters are more stable when manufactured and stored. It is contingent upon your product format and your goal bioavailability profile.

Q: Dose in clinic?

A: Research indicates 10-20mg daily for therapeutic advantages to eye health, especially in preventing AMD. Generally wellness formulations employ 2-6mg per serving. We can assist you in calculating acceptable inclusion rates for your intended dosage and product format.

Q: Shelf life and storage?

A: Our product has a shelf life of 24 months in closed containers, stored away from light, heat and moisture. We recommend to keep the product in its original packing at temperatures below 25°C until usage. Once opened, seal quickly to limit exposure to oxidation.
