Product Information
Name:Lutein - 5%
Brand:Biosynth
Description:Lutein - 5% is a carotenoid compound, which is derived primarily from the petals of marigold flowers (Tagetes erecta). This natural source is known for its high concentration of xanthophylls, which are essential for the product's activity. The mode of action of Lutein involves its capacity to absorb blue light and quench reactive oxygen species, thereby exerting protective antioxidant effects. This mechanism is vital in preventing oxidative stress in biological tissues.
The primary applications of Lutein - 5% are in nutritional supplements and functional foods. It is extensively studied for its role in supporting eye health, particularly in reducing the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. Additionally, Lutein is investigated for its potential in skin health, where it may contribute to photoprotection by filtering harmful high-energy wavelengths of visible light. Its integration into various formulations is designed to leverage its bioavailability and efficacy in maintaining health at the cellular level. As such, researchers continue to explore its biochemical interactions and potential therapeutic impacts within human health domains.
