Introduction
Marigold extract, primarily derived from the flower species Tagetes erecta, is renowned for its rich concentration of lutein and zeaxanthin. These phytochemicals contribute to various health benefits and are highly sought after in both health supplements and cosmetic industries.
Health Benefits of Marigold Extract
Rich Source of Antioxidants
Marigold extract contains antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which neutralize free radicals. Clinical studies indicate that 100 mg of marigold extract can significantly reduce oxidative stress markers by up to 25%.
Anti-inflammatory Properties
The anti-inflammatory properties of marigold extract have been documented to lower C-reactive protein (CRP) levels by 15%-20% in patients with chronic inflammation, according to a study conducted over 12 weeks.
Enhancement of Eye Health
Lutein and zeaxanthin in marigold extract are shown to improve macular pigment optical density (MPOD) by 25% over six months, thereby enhancing visual function and reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Skin Rejuvenation
Marigold extract is noted for its skin-friendly properties, improving hydration by 38% within four weeks of topical application, as evidenced by dermatological assessments.
Digestive Health
With its digestive benefits, marigold extract promotes gastrointestinal health by increasing beneficial gut flora by 30%, thus supporting improved digestion and nutrient absorption.
