Zeaxanthin Powder

Zeaxanthin(Zeaxanthin, 3,3 '-dihydroxy-beta carotene), also known as Zeaxanthin, belongs to the isoprene group, is an oxygenated carotenoid (Xanthophyll).

Zeaxanthin is crystalline powder-appearance, orange-red, odorless, and it is a new type of oil soluble natural pigment, but not soluble in water.

Zeaxanthin is mainly distributed in the eyes, liver, pancreas, kidney, spleen, ovary and other organs, playing an important role in health. In the eye, zeaxanthin is concentrated in the center of the macular area of the retina. Humans and animals cannot synthesize zeaxanthin on their own and must obtain it through food or supplements.

APPLICATIONS:

- Food Preservative

Zeaxanthin can prevent the oxidation of lipids and vitamins in food, keep the nutrition and flavor of food from being damaged by oxidation so to prolong the freshness preservation period of solid food.

- Natural colorant

Zeaxanthin has been approved as food pigment by many countries in Europe and America as a natural food colorant because of its strong coloring ability.

- Feed Additive

Zeaxanthin, used as feed additive, can effectively improve animal nutrition, egg yolk, poultry meat and skin color. In meat and poultry, zeaxanthin is deposited in claws, beaks and subcutaneous fat to stain and improve poultry quality. In egg-laying poultry, zeaxanthin deposits in egg yolk to make it yellow, improves the quality of eggs and increases its nutritional value.

FUNCTIONS:

- Anti-Cancer

Zeaxanthin protects cells and organs from damage caused by free radicals in the body. Studies have shown that zeaxanthin is more effective than beta carotene in inhibiting the automatic oxidation of cellular lipids and preventing cellular damage caused by oxidation, and that peroxidation of cellular lipids is associated with tumor growth, indicating that zeaxanthin has the function of reducing cancer occurrence and enhancing immune function.

- Prevention of Cardiovascular Diseases

Studies have reported that people with a high daily intake of carotenoids have a lower risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.

- Anti-Cataracts

Zeaxanthin is one of the only two carotenoids in the lens. It has 11 conjugated double bonds in its molecules and hydroxyl groups at the end, which makes it have strong antioxidant capacity. As a strong antioxidant, it can quench the triple states of singlet oxygen and photosensitizer, remove damaging oxygen free radicals, prevent membrane lipid peroxidation, reduce the formation of lipofuscin, and thereby prevent the formation of cataracts. Studies have shown that people with high levels of lutein and zeaxanthin are 19 to 22 percent less likely to develop cataracts than people with low levels.
