Lutein and Lutein Esters
The Lutein and Lutein Esters industry can be broken down into several segments, Powder/Concrete, Oil, etc. Lutein is a xanthophyll and one of 600 known naturally occurring carotenoids. Lutein is synthesized only by plants and like other xanthophylls is found in high quantities in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale and yellow carrots. In green plants, xanthophylls act to modulate light energy and serve as non-photochemical quenching agents to deal with triplet chlorophyll (an excited form of chlorophyll), which is overproduced at very high light levels, during photosynthesis. Lutein is an antioxidant that belongs to the carotenoid group. It’s found in high amounts in leafy greens and orange-yellow vegetables as well as dietary supplements. Lutein is important for maintaining eye health and reducing the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. It may also have protective effects on our skin and cardiovascular system. Lutein is a carotenoid that has been shown to support vision health. Lutein is available in two forms–lutein esters and free lutein. Across the world, the major players cover Chenguang Biotech Group Co., Ltd, Qingdao Scitech Biotech Co., Ltd., Synthite, etc.
