Natural Marigold Extract Lutein Ester Powder for Eye Health & Vision Support
Lutein ester is a state of lutein that is more easily absorbed in the body. Lutein is actually a nutrient that has a nutritional effect on the eyes and is usually consumed through vegetables and diet. Lutein is a nutritional ingredient for retinal cells, which has certain effects on the lens and eye fatigue. Lutein esters are more easily absorbed in the body, and the normal absorption rate of free lutein is relatively low. If converted into lutein esters, it can significantly improve the absorption rate. So lutein esters are eye nutrients.

- 1. Vision protection:
• Filter blue light and reduce retinal oxidative damage
• Delay the progression of age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
2. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory:
• Scavenges free radicals (ORAC value ≥ 50,000 μmol TE/g), inhibits lipid peroxidation
• Reduces inflammatory factors (CRP decreases by 15%), relieves dry eyes and visual fatigue.
3. Skin health:
• Resists UV-induced collagen degradation
• Improves photoaging
4. Cardiovascular and metabolic:
• Reduces the formation of atherosclerotic plaques
• Assists in regulating blood sugar




- 1. Dietary supplements:
• Eye protection capsules/tablets, multivitamin formulas.
• Macular health support for middle-aged and elderly people, myopia prevention and control products for adolescents.
2. Functional foods:
• Eye protection drinks (added microencapsulated lutein esters), infant formula milk powder
• Sports nutrition products
3. Skin care products:
• Anti-blue light essence (electronic screen protection), anti-aging cream (photoaging repair).
• Eye care products (relieve dark circles, swelling).
4. Medicine and clinical:
• Postoperative retinal repair assistance, diabetic retinopathy intervention.
• Intravenous nutrition (for patients with severe oxidative stress).
