Lutexin

Home / Lutexin

Lutexin is an extract of Tagetes erecta, commonly known as African Marigold or Marigold, a plant belonging to the Asteraceae family, originally from Mexico and Central America. The Lutexin extract contains a specific proportion of lutein and zeaxanthin, carotenoids that are particularly abundant in the retina and macula and must be supplemented through diet since they are not synthesized by the body.

The unique extraction method allows the xanthophylls to remain intact, thus achieving a specific concentration and ratio of lutein and zeaxanthin that matches the natural levels found in the human body.

Action: Antioxidant and vision protective.

Target Organs: Eye

Scientific Evaluation

To evaluate the efficacy of Lutexin, advanced in vitro models were used.

  • 3D Intestinal Model: This model was used to analyze the product's activity at the small intestine level, ensuring that the ingredients were effectively absorbed and metabolized.
  • Ocular Organoid: Since lutein and zeaxanthin are primarily found in the macula lutea, the macular organoid was used to assess the neutralization of ROS, resulting in retinal protection from lipid peroxidation and the effective concentration of pigments at the retinal level.

Benefits of Lutexin

  • Protection from Macular Degeneration: Lutexin reduces the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by protecting the macula.
  • Reduction of Cataract Risk: The antioxidants in Lutexin help prevent cataract formation, keeping the lens clear.
  • Improvement of Vision: Lutexin enhances contrast sensitivity and vision in low-light conditions.
  • Antioxidant Properties: The combination of lutein and zeaxanthin neutralizes free radicals, reducing oxidative stress.
  • General Eye Health Support: Lutexin reduces visual fatigue and protects against the harmful effects of blue light emitted by digital devices.

Lutexin is an effective solution for improving and maintaining eye health. With its optimal combination of lutein and zeaxanthin, it offers powerful protection against major age-related eye conditions and oxidative damage.
