What is Lutein Powder?

Lutein powder is a natural yellow-orange carotenoid extracted from marigold flowers, scientifically known as Tagetes erecta. It is valued for its antioxidant properties and ability to filter blue light, helping protect the retina and macula from oxidative damage.

Lutein is a naturally occurring carotenoid extracted mainly from marigold flowers. It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, beverages, gummies, capsules, and cosmetic formulations because of its antioxidant and eye-health benefits.
