Protect vision:
Lutein has an important protective effect on the macula in the retina, and its deficiency can easily lead to macular degeneration and blurred vision. Then appear vision degradation, myopia and other symptoms. Lutein is a precursor of NA that can be converted into VA in the human body. The main physiological function of lutein on the eye is as an antioxidant and photoprotective. The optic nerve is non-regenerative and is easily damaged by harmful free radicals. The antioxidant effect of lutein can inhibit the formation of harmful free radicals. Lutein (Marigold extract) can absorb a lot of blue light, and the wavelength of blue visible light is close to ultraviolet light, which is the most potentially harmful light that can reach the retina. Light passes through the highest concentrations of lutein before reaching sensitive cells in the retina, and an abundance of lutein in the macula minimizes this damage.
Antioxidant action
The strong oxidation of lutein can inhibit the activity of reactive oxygen species and prevent the damage of reactive oxygen species to normal cells. Relevant experiments have proved that reactive oxygen species can react with DNA, proteins, lipids, weaken their physiological functions, and then lead to the occurrence of chronic diseases such as cancer, arteriosclerosis, age-related yellow devils degeneration. Lutein can inactivate singlet oxygen through physical or chemical quenching, so as to protect the body from damage and enhance the immune capacity of the body.
Reduce the incidence of cataracts
Cataract is the major eye disease leading to blindness worldwide. The latest research has proved that increasing the intake of lutein (marigold extract) can achieve the purpose of survival rate. Currently, the mechanism is believed to be that low macular pigment density is closely related to high lens visual density in middle-aged and elderly people, while high lens visual density is considered to be an obvious feature of cataract.
Uses of Xanthophyll.
Dietary carotenoids, but not as effective as vitamin A, increase the concentration of pigment in spots in the eyes and may improve vision. Lutein has the characteristics of "natural", "nutrition" and "multi-function", and can be widely used in food, health care products, cosmetics, medicine and feed additives. Can be used for food coloring, can also be added to poultry feed, so that the egg yolk to improve yellow.
Pharmacological action of Xanthophyll.
Product Methods of Bulk Xanthophyll powder.
It is extracted from grass or alfalfa by solvent and saponified to remove chlorophyll, then purified by solvent and then dissolved. The solvents used are restricted to methanol, ethanol, isopropyl alcohol, hexane, acetone, dichloromethane and methyl ethyl ketone according to FAO/WHO(1997).
