Lutein is a carotenoid, a natural pigment found in vegetables, fruits and other organisms. It is found in marigolds at the highest concentration, and its main components are lutein and zeaxanthin.
Lutein powder raw materials are orange-yellow powder or yellow-brown liquid. It is insoluble in water, soluble in propanol and methanol, and has good heat resistance. Our company not only provides raw materials, but also customizes capsules and tablets, which are also popular with customers. It can also be used for coloring health products, sugar coatings for tablets, and coloring capsules.
