Marigold Extract
Also Knows as: Mexican marigold, African marigold, Big marigold
Expodelight Pharma’s Marigold Lutein Extract (Tagetes erecta L) is derived from vibrant yellow-orange flowers, cultivated for their potent natural pigments and carotenoids. Native to Mexico and Guatemala, this botanical has spread globally across tropical and temperate regions. Our high-quality extract is rich in Lutein, a carotenoid known for supporting eye health and reducing oxidative stress. It also offers anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, and mild sedative benefits, and may aid in lowering blood pressure. Carefully sourced and processed, our Marigold Extract meets international standards for use in nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic formulations.
