What is lutein?
The word lutein comes from the Latin word luteus and describes an orange-yellow color. This makes lutein one of the most common representatives of carotenoids. These belong to the secondary plant substances and are known for their antioxidant effect. The biosynthesis of lutein only takes place in plants, the human body cannot produce it.
Naturally from Tagetes erecta
In the plant world, lutein is particularly found in yellow and green plants such as kale and spinach. It is also found in the petals of the upright marigold (Tagetes erecta). The bright flower of the Tagetes erecta contains so much lutein that it is ideal for medicinal and commercial purposes.
Microencapsulation: Lutein is sensitive
Lutein is a sensitive substance that reacts to the effects of light. It is not heat-resistant and oxidizes when it comes into contact with air. This causes the substance to break down and lose its effect. It is therefore necessary to stabilize the golden-yellow crystals.
ZeinPharma uses the microencapsulation process for this. Cellulose capsules enclose the powdered lutein and immobilize it. This protects it from oxidation and decay, Heat, oxygen and light cannot affect its quality. Only in the digestive tract do the capsules dissolve and release the substance so that your body can absorb it unhindered
High dosage
With one Lutein capsule from ZeinPharma you get 20 mg of pure lutein. The easily digestible capsules are easy to swallow and contain the recommended daily dose.
In order to absorb this amount of lutein with your food every day, you would have to eat a large amount of dark, green vegetables every day. In everyday life, it is much easier to simply take a single capsule every day and thus reach your daily dose.
