Natural Lutein Microcapsules

Marigold extract natural lutein microcapsules are a form of lutein, a type of carotenoid found in various fruits and vegetables, that has been extracted from marigold flowers. Lutein is known for its antioxidant properties and its ability to support eye health by filtering out harmful high-energy blue light and protecting the eyes from oxidative stress.
The microcapsules are created using a process called microencapsulation, which involves enclosing the lutein extract in tiny capsules. This helps to protect the lutein from degradation and ensures its stability, making it suitable for use in dietary supplements, functional foods, and other health products.
The use of marigold extract natural lutein microcapsules allows for the controlled release of lutein, making it easier to incorporate into various formulations such as tablets, capsules, and powders. This form of lutein is often used in the food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries to enhance the nutritional value of products and promote eye health.

Microencapsulated lutein, a dietary supplement, enhances the chemical stability, solubility, and retention rates of lutein. This process also improves lutein’s resistance to heat, light, and oxygen. In vitro studies demonstrate that intestinal cells absorb lutein-loaded microcapsules more effectively than natural lutein. Lutein, a carotenoid, serves as a natural pigment and nutraceutical ingredient in foods, benefiting eye health. However, its limited solubility hinders its use. Lutein’s highly unsaturated structure renders it vulnerable to light, oxygen, heat, and pro-oxidants, leading to oxidation, decomposition, or dissociation.
