Marigold Flower Extract

Product Overview

Our Marigold Flower Extract is a premium-grade, highly concentrated source of Lutein and Zeaxanthin, two essential carotenoids for supporting visual health and performance. Extracted from the petals of Tagetes erecta, this ingredient is meticulously processed to yield a standardized powder with superior purity and consistency. It is specifically engineered for use in dietary supplements, functional foods, and nutritional products targeting eye health, antioxidant support, and protection against blue light.

As the original manufacturer, we ensure complete supply chain traceability, from sustainably sourced flowers to the final HPLC-verified powder, providing our clients with a reliable and effective ingredient for their formulations.

Key Advantages:

• HPLC-Verified Potency: We guarantee Lutein and Zeaxanthin content using the industry-gold-standard HPLC method, not less-accurate UV testing.
• Optimal Lutein-to-Zeaxanthin Ratio: Standardized to meet scientifically supported ratios for macular health.
• Excellent Physical Properties: Uniform particle size (100% pass 80 mesh) ensures superior blendability and homogeneity in solid dosage forms.
• Clean & Safe Profile: Compliant with stringent limits for heavy metals and solvent residues, making it suitable for global formulations.
• Direct-from-Factory Supply: Ensures consistent quality, stable supply, and competitive pricing for bulk quantities.
