Extract Source
Lutein in a broad sense refers to carotenoid xanthophylls (carotenoids xanthophy II), which in turn includes lutein and its isomers zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin. Although their names are different, they all essentially belong to xanthophy II, and they can transform into each other and coexist in a certain proportion.
The main industrial source of natural lutein is the extraction and saponification of lutein esters in marigold to obtain lutein monomers. Lutein, as a natural plant pigment with multiple biological activities, has been widely used in food, medicine and cosmetics.
Function
1. Prevent obesity-related diseases
Lutein can inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of preadipocytes and play a lipid-lowering effect.
2. Improve visual function in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) patients and healthy people
Lutein is the main carotenoid in the macula of the retina. It can filter the blue light entering the retina of the human eye to a certain extent, effectively reducing visual damage. It also inhibits the activity of oxygen free radicals and prevents damage to visual cells by oxygen free radicals.
3. Reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in healthy people
Lutein has good antioxidant capacity and can effectively inhibit the oxidative stress response in the process of atherosclerosis, thereby reducing the inflammatory response and reducing oxidative damage to tissue cells. Higher intakes of lutein, and higher levels of lutein in the blood or fat tissue, are associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular disease.
4. Slow down UV-induced skin damage in normal people
Lutein has the functions of antioxidant and lipoxygenase inhibition, which can reduce erythema, aging, skin burns and even skin cancer caused by ultraviolet rays on the skin.
5. Colorize egg yolks, poultry and chicken feed
Lutein has strong coloring power, which can increase the hatching of eggs and increase the reproductive rate of poultry. Lutein is also a natural pigment with no side effects and can color egg yolks, poultry and chicken feed. Because its safety and nutritional functions meet the needs of the market, it is widely used in feed coloring in various countries.
6. Anti-cancer function
Lutein is a carotenoid and has special physiological activity. It can inhibit the growth of human tumors and resist various cancers, such as skin cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, etc.
