Product Detail

What is Lutein Ester?

Marigold flowers, especially the petals of specific varieties like Tagetes erecta, are rich in lutein esters, often containing significantly higher levels than most other natural sources. Through specialized extraction and purification processes, marigold extract is obtained as a concentrated form of these bioactive compounds, where lutein esters exist in a stable, bioavailable state.

Compared to pure lutein, lutein esters offer distinct advantages for human health. Structurally, lutein esters are formed by the esterification of lutein with fatty acids, which enhances their lipid solubility and stability—making them less prone to oxidation and degradation during processing, storage, and digestion. This structural feature also improves their absorption in the human body: in the small intestine, lutein esters are hydrolyzed into free lutein under the action of digestive enzymes, and their absorption rate is significantly higher than that of pure lutein, allowing more of the nutrient to enter the bloodstream and reach target tissues.

Benefits of Lutein Ester：

Lutein esters are known for their ability to promote eye health. It is a pigment found in the macula of the eye and helps protect it from harmful UV rays. This compound has been shown to reduce the risk of eye diseases such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.

Our Marigold Extract Lutein Ester Supplement may also support skin health as it helps protect the skin from UV rays. It can also promote cardiovascular health by helping to lower levels of bad cholesterol in the body.

Once absorbed, lutein (derived from lutein esters) plays a crucial role in supporting ocular health. It accumulates in the macula of the retina, acting as a natural "filter" to block harmful blue light and neutralize reactive oxygen species, thereby reducing oxidative stress on retinal cells and helping to maintain visual acuity and prevent age-related macular degeneration. Additionally, lutein esters may contribute to overall antioxidant defense in the body, supporting skin health by protecting against UV-induced damage and promoting general cellular health.
