- Product Description
Marigold Extract Powder: Premium Eye Health Support with Clinically Proven Lutein
In today's era of excessive eye strain, supplementing with lutein and zeaxanthin derived from Marigold Extract Powder is crucial for maintaining eye health. With over 20 years of expertise in manufacturing carotenoid products, Shaanxi Hongda Phytochemistry produces marigold extract using supercritical CO2 extraction technology. Our lutein microencapsulated powder dissolves completely in cold water within just 10 seconds, creating a perfectly uniform, clear, and translucent orange-yellow emulsion free from layering or oil droplets. The microcapsule shell naturally shields the internal polyene conjugated double bonds from oxygen exposure; even after 24 months of storage at room temperature under light, the active ingredient retention rate exceeds 95%, with no fading or rancid odor, while intestinal bioavailability is boosted by 4.8 times compared to traditional coarse powders.
Shaanxi Hongda’s premium marigold powder effectively protects against blue light damage and supports long-term eye health. Our natural marigold extract meets multiple international standards—including US FDA GRAS certification and EU Novel Food authorization—making it ideal for a wide range of applications, such as skincare products, health foods, and eye health supplements.

Why Choose Our Marigold Extract Powder?
1. All-trans Lutein Purity (HPLC):
- >10.0% / 20.0% (microencapsulated powder); >80.0% (purified crystals). Our powder features the all-trans configuration—which is active in supporting eye health—with a cis-isomer content of less than 3%, ensuring efficacy in the retinal macular region.
2.All-trans Zeaxanthin (HPLC):
- >1.0% – 20.0% (precisely standardized to the AREDS2 "golden ratio" of 5:1). We replicate the pigment composition found in the human retinal fovea; utilizing an integrated co-precipitation process, the product remains stable during bulk mixing without separation or stratification.
3. Uncompromised Quality & Safety
- High Potency: standardized to a 5:1 mix of 5% to 20% lutein and zeaxanthin to make sure the dosages are right.
- Purity Guaranteed: It doesn't have any GMOs, allergies, or heavy metals or chemicals (less than 1 ppm).
- The granules are dense and spherical; the electrostatic adsorption rate is zero under high-frequency vibration; the packaging line ensures absolutely no powder entrapment or leakage; and dispensing precision is extremely high.
- Global Certifications: It is safe to consume, according to USDA, ECOCERT, HALAL, Kosher, and ISO 22000.
4. Tailored for Your Formulation Needs
- Flexible Applications: You may turn it into softgels, tablets, candy, or beverages with powder.
- Custom Blends: Adding vitamin C, zinc, or vegetable carriers can help you get better outcomes.

Key Benefits of Marigold Extract Powder
1. Science-Backed Eye Health Benefits
Blue Light Defense: Lutein and zeaxanthin stop blue light from getting through. This makes the ache in your digital eyes less bad.
AMD Prevention: There is evidence from AREDS2 clinical trials that this may lower the chance of age-related macular degeneration.
Antioxidant Power: Removes free radicals that stress out eye cells by oxidizing them.

2. Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Because it is anti-inflammatory, marigold extract powder may help lower inflammation in the body and make the immune system stronger as a whole. Researchers have discovered that certain elements of marigold flowers may halt the formation of sensors that make you itch. It seems that marigold flowers could be a natural method to help with skin issues like atopic contact dermatitis. It may also assist those with chronic inflammatory illnesses since it decreases inflammation.
3. Skin Health and Repair
Because lutein extract powder may prevent and reduce inflammation, marigold extract is widely utilized in skin care products. Lutein powder soothes skin that is red and irritated and helps the skin's barrier mend. Researchers have discovered that marigold extract may boost the synthesis of the proteins Occludin and Claudin-1. These proteins are particularly crucial for sustaining the skin's covering function. This is a great way for folks who want their skin to be more flexible and moist.
