Product Information
Name:Lutein - 50%
Synonyms:
- Xanthophyll
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Lutein - 50% is a carotenoid compound, specifically a xanthophyll, which is derived from marigold flowers (Tagetes erecta). Carotenoids like lutein are pigmented compounds that occur naturally in plants and are responsible for their vibrant colors. Lutein is isolated and then concentrated to achieve a 50% purity, typically using processes such as saponification and crystallization.
In terms of mode of action, lutein functions primarily as an antioxidant. It is known to filter high-energy blue light and neutralize free radicals, thereby protecting cells from oxidative damage. This ability to attenuate oxidative stress is vital in maintaining the structural integrity of ocular tissues.
Lutein - 50% is commonly used in scientific research and formulation of dietary supplements aimed at promoting eye health. It is particularly noted for its role in supporting macular health and protecting against age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Beyond ophthalmic applications, its antioxidant properties are also explored in broader cellular health studies.
