Natural Lutein Powder is a premium-grade carotenoid extracted from Tagetes erecta (Marigold flowers), standardized to ≥5% lutein content (HPLC-verified). As a natural xanthophyll, lutein is renowned for its ocular health benefits, including protection against age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and blue light damage. Produced through solvent-free supercritical CO2 extraction in ISO 9001-certified facilities, this allergen-free, non-GMO powder complies with FDA GRAS, EU Novel Food, and Kosher/Halal standards. Ideal for nutraceuticals, functional foods, and infant formula.
Vision Support: Filters harmful blue light and reduces oxidative stress in retinal tissues.
Antioxidant Power: Neutralizes free radicals linked to chronic inflammation and aging.
High Bioavailability: Enhanced water-dispersible forms (optional) for optimal absorption.
Clean Label: Free from synthetic additives, preservatives, and allergens.
Thermal Stability: Retains efficacy in baked goods, beverages, and capsules.
Clinical Backing: Supported by research on AMD prevention and skin UV protection.

1. What is lutein's primary benefit?
Lutein accumulates in the macula, acting as a natural blue light filter and antioxidant to protect against AMD and cataracts.
2. Can lutein be used in infant formula?
Yes, our Kosher/Halal-certified lutein meets strict safety standards for infant nutrition (e.g., EU Directive 2016/127).
3. What is the recommended daily dosage?
Typical dose: 10-20 mg/day for adults, adjusted for specific formulations or health goals.
4. Does lutein interact with medications?
No adverse interactions reported. Consult a physician if using blood thinners or immunosuppressants.
5. How does water-dispersible lutein differ from standard forms?
Water-dispersible versions enhance bioavailability in non-fat matrices (e.g., beverages).
6. Is this product safe for long-term use?
Yes, clinical studies confirm safety at recommended doses with no toxicity.
7. Can lutein be combined with zeaxanthin?
Absolutely. Blending lutein and zeaxanthin (5:1 ratio) mimics natural macular pigment for enhanced efficacy.
8. Do you offer private labeling?
Yes, we provide OEM/ODM services, including custom potency (10-95%), beadlet encapsulation, and bulk packaging.
