Q1: How to purchase natural lutein powder?
When purchasing organic lutein powder made from marigold flowers, look for the following:
Organic certification: Check the label to ensure that the lutein powder is certified organic. This ensures that the marigold flowers used to make the powder were grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs).
Extraction method: Look for information about the extraction method used to produce the lutein powder. Solvent-free extraction methods using only water and ethanol are preferred since they don't use harsh chemicals that may affect the quality and purity of the lutein.
Purity level: Ideally, the lutein powder should have a purity level exceeding 90% to ensure that you're getting a concentrated dose of the carotenoid.
Transparency: Check if the manufacturer provides transparency about their production process, testing procedures, and third-party certifications for quality and purity.
Brand reputation: Choose a reputable brand with good customer reviews and ratings. This can give you confidence about the quality of the lutein powder you're purchasing.
