Products Description
Commonly known as marigold extract, xanthophyll is a prominent botanical ingredient with growing market popularity. It delivers multiple functional benefits. As a potent antioxidant, it may help lower risks of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Its most notable value lies in eye‑health support: lutein is a carotenoid naturally present within human eyes. According to research published in Ophthalmology, diets rich in lutein‑containing foods can assist in preventing and managing cataracts, while offering protection against age‑related macular degeneration.
