Xanthophyll Powder CAS 127-40-2

Xanthophyll is the most important nutrient in human retina. There are high concentrations of lutein in the macula (visual center) and lens of the eye, but people can't synthesize lutein by themselves. Xanthophyll powder must come from food absorption, and then break through all difficulties, enter the lens and macula of the retina, play an antioxidant role, neutralize harmful free radicals, filter out blue light that is destructive to the eyes, and avoid oxidative damage to the eyes caused by light. It is an antioxidant with excellent performance, which can prevent cell aging and organ aging by adding a proper amount into food, and can also prevent vision loss and blindness caused by macular degeneration of senile eyeball. At the same time, Xanthophyll can also be used as a feed additive for coloring poultry meat and eggs, and as a coloring and nutritional health care agent in food industry.

Protect your eyesight:

Xanthophyll plays an important role in protecting the macula in the retina, which can easily lead to macular degeneration and blurred vision when lacking, and then lead to symptoms such as visual degradation and myopia. Xanthophyll powder is the precursor of NA and can be converted into VA in human body. Its main physiological functions for eyes are as antioxidant and photoprotection. Optic nerve is non-renewable and vulnerable to harmful free radicals, and its antioxidant effect can inhibit the formation of harmful free radicals. Xanthophyll can absorb a lot of blue light, and the wavelength of blue visible light is close to that of ultraviolet light, which is the most potentially harmful light that can reach the retina. Before reaching the sensitive cells on the retina, the light passes through its highest aggregation area, and this damage can be minimized if the content of this product at the macular is rich.

Anti-oxygen function:
Xanthophyll can inhibit the activity of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and prevent ROS from damaging normal cells. Relevant experiments have proved that ROS can react with DNA, protein and lipids, weaken their physiological functions, and then lead to the occurrence of chronic diseases such as cancer, arteriosclerosis, senile xanthomorphism, etc. Xanthophyll can inactivate singlet oxygen by physical or chemical quenching, thus protecting the body from injury and enhancing the immune ability of the body. Decreasing the incidence of cataract is the main eye disease that leads to blindness all over the world. At present,Xanthophyll powder is believed that the mechanism is that the lower macular pigment density is closely related to the higher lens visual density of middle-aged and elderly people, and the higher lens visual density is considered to be the obvious feature of cataract.

Delaying arteriosclerosis

The recent research results show that Xanthophyll can delay the early arteriosclerosis process. Xanthophyll powder is mainly the relationship between the change of intima thickness of arterial trunk and its content in blood. The content of Xanthophyll in blood is low, which can easily cause the thickening of arterial wall. With the gradual increase of its content, the thickening trend of arterial wall decreases, and the arterial embolism also decreases significantly. At the same time, yezoensis in arterial wall cells can also reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol. Anti-cancer effect Many studies show that Xanthophyll has inhibitory effect on many cancers, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, rectal cancer and skin cancer.

Which foods are rich in Xanthophyll ?

The content of Xanthophyll is high in some green vegetables and fruits such as cabbage, spinach, lettuce, mung bean and rape, but these plants also contain more chlorophyll, β -carotene and other epoxy and oxo derivatives of carotenoids, so Xanthophyll powder is difficult to extract pure products. After people's long-term search, it was found that the contents of lutein and zeaxanthin in marigold flowers were extremely high, and other carotenoid I- impurities were few, which was easy to separate and purify, and could be used as a good source for industrial production. In addition, some yellow-orange fruits such as mango, papaya, peach and pumpkin are also rich in Xanthophyll and zeaxanthin.
