Marigold Extract Introduction
Marigold extract is refined from marigold flowers through granulation, extraction, and concentration. Its main ingredient is composed of various carotenoids mainly containing lutein. Marigold extract is widely used in food, feed, medicine and other food and chemical industries. It plays an important role in improving the color of products and is an indispensable additive in industrial and agricultural production.
Lutein, also known as "phytolutein", coexists with zeaxanthin (Zeaxanthin) in nature. Lutein and zeaxanthin are the main components of plant pigments such as corn, vegetables, fruits, flowers, etc., as well as the main pigments of the macular region of the human eye. In nature, lutein has the highest content in dark green leafy vegetables such as cabbage, kale, spinach, and flowers such as marigolds and marigolds. Human eyes contain high amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin, but these two elements cannot be produced by the human body and must be supplemented by foods containing lutein and zeaxanthin. If they are lacking in these two elements, the eyes will become blind.
Application:
1. Protect your eyesight
(1) Lutein is the main component of the macula in the eye. It has a preventive effect on age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and improves vision decline in the elderly.
2) Prevent blindness caused by age-related macular degeneration. The muscular degeneration that occurs due to aging can cause blindness that cannot be recovered in the elderly over the age of 65. Lutein has a good effect on preventing muscular degeneration. Since it cannot be produced in the human body, it must be supplemented from food or additional, especially the elderly must often choose foods rich in lutein.
(3) Lutein in the eyes has a filtering effect on ultraviolet rays, and protects the eyes and eyesight caused by ultraviolet rays emitted by sunlight and computers.
2. Reduce the risk of degenerative age spots in the body and skin, and reduce the formation of lipid peroxides through antioxidant effects.
