American marigold

Lutein is an orange-red carotenoid pigment produced by plants and found in colorful fruits and vegetables. In the human body, lutein is one of the dominant pigments, with a high concentration in the macula of the eye. Our product is made from marigolds, which contain a broad spectrum of carotenoids.
Lutein is a bioactive substance that belongs to the carotenoids. It is a natural yellow dye (derived from the Latin 'luteus', meaning yellow) and is commonly found in dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale and broccoli, as well as various fruits, corn and carrots. Egg yolks are also a rich source of lutein.
