Xanthophyll CAS#127-40-2
Xanthophyll , commonly referred to as marigold extract, stands out as a rising key substance in the botanical field and has been growing in popularity.Its functional benefits are multi-faceted. First, as an antioxidant, it helps reduce the risks of cancer and heart disease. More notably, it plays a crucial role in eye protection—lutein is a key carotenoid naturally present in the eyes. According to a recent study published in the journal Ophthalmology, consuming lutein-rich foods can aid in preventing and managing cataracts, while also shielding the eyes from age-related macular degeneration.

Xanthophyll CAS#127-40-2 Application
Xanthophyll is among the most widely distributed carotenoid alcohols in the natural world. It was first extracted from egg yolk, and can also be isolated from other natural sources—such as nettles, algae, and the petals of numerous yellow-flowering plants—through chromatography.
