Lutein is a xanthophyll carotenoid extracted from marigold petals and one of the primary pigments that concentrate in the macula of the eye. It is a cornerstone active in vision-support and healthy-aging products, and demand continues to grow for formulations addressing digital eye strain and blue-light exposure. Our marigold-derived Lutein is offered across a broad potency range and in oil- or water-dispersible formats suited to softgels, tablets, gummies, and beverages. Sustainable cultivation paired with standardized extraction ensures consistent color and active content from batch to batch.
