Xi'an Jiayuan Bio-tech Co., Ltd. specializes in manufacturing Pure Lutein Powder derived from marigold flowers, offering specifications ranging from 5% to 90% purity measured by HPLC. Since our establishment in 2002, we have been in business for over 20 years and have two GMP-standard manufacturing lines and certifications such as ISO9001, FSSC22000, HALAL, Kosher and HACCP. With registered capital of RMB 30 million and a staff of 30 technical specialists, we provide solid supply chain integration from the growing of marigold to the microencapsulated final goods. All batches are tested for total carotenoids, zeaxanthin levels, residual solvents and heavy metals and full COA documentation is available.

What Is Pure Lutein Powder?

The product is a Natural Carotenoid pigment obtained from Marigold flower petals by sophisticated extraction, saponification and crystallization technique. It is a deep orange-red powder. The active molecule is C40H56O2 with molecular weight 568.87.

Our product is a high concentration source of lutein, an important nutrient that is found in high concentrations in the macular area of the human retina. Our botanical-sourced powder, unlike synthetic alternatives, offers greater absorption and preserves the natural lutein-to-zeaxanthin ratio required for clinical effectiveness.

We provide a broad spectrum of formulations including water dispersible grades and microencapsulated versions which improve stability against light, heat and oxidation. Standard particle size 90% to 80 mesh, for best flow and dissolving qualities.

Core Functions

The powder has 4 major biological roles, backed by substantial research:

Visual Health Support — Lutein is deposited in the retinal tissue, where it filters out damaging blue light wavelengths (400-500nm), which decreases oxidative stress on photoreceptor cells. Helps to preserve macular pigment density with daily use.

Antioxidant Protection The conjugated double-bond structure quenches singlet oxygen and peroxy radicals therefore protecting cellular membranes from lipid peroxidation. This is a trait that extends from the ocular tissue to the systemic antioxidant defense.

Blue Light Filtering — Lutein’s natural absorption spectrum coincides with high-energy visible light generated by digital devices. This method may alleviate symptoms of digital eye strain.

Natural Colorant – Approved under GB 2760-2024 (China) and EU regulations as a non-novel food colorant, it provides clean-label alternatives to synthetic dyes in food manufacturing.

Application Fields

Your formulation needs are supported across multiple industries:

Industry	Applications	Typical Specification
Dietary Supplements	Eye health capsules, soft gels, tablets	10%-80%
Functional Foods	Fortified dairy, beverages, confectionery	5%-20%
Pharmaceutical	Prescription eye health formulations	70%-90%
Feed Additives	Poultry pigmentation, aquaculture	5%-20%
Cosmetics	Anti-aging serums, UV protection products	10%-30%

Our products fulfill GB 26405-2011 standards in China and FDA GRAS status needed for export markets. EU consumers may use our non-novel food status to ease regulatory clearance.

Certifications

Our facility maintains comprehensive third-party validations:

• ISO9001:2015 Quality Management System
• FSSC22000 Food Safety System Certification
• HALAL Certificate (recognized in Middle Eastern markets)
• Kosher Certification (suitable for religious dietary requirements)
• HACCP System Certification
• Provincial High-tech Enterprise designation (Shaanxi, 2013)

All certificates are available for verification, and we provide COA, SDS, Certificate of Origin, and allergen statements with each shipment of Pure Lutein Powder.

Quality Control

Our six layer quality system defines the quality of your product:

Raw Material Screening — We obtain marigold petals from certified organic farms with pre-tested lutein content.

Process Monitoring — Critical control points during extraction, purification and microencapsulation are monitored real-time for temperature, pressure and pH.

HPLC Testing — Each manufacturing batch is tested using High-Performance Liquid Chromatography to confirm lutein purity, zeaxanthin ratio and degradation indicators.

Contamination Testing - We do heavy metals (Pb, As, Cd, Hg), pesticide residues, aflatoxins and microbiological count testing as per USP and EP standards.

Stability Validation — Accelerated aging trials at 40°C/75% RH validate our 24-48 month shelf life claims with adequate storage.

Traceability System — Each batch is assigned a unique lot number that traces back to the harvest date, extraction settings, and quality certifications.

Payment & Shipment

We offer flexible commercial terms tailored to your business scale:

Payment Options – T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) is our standard method. We also accept L/C, D/P, PayPal, and major credit cards (VISA/MasterCard) depending on order value and customer relationship.

Minimum Order – 1 kg for sample evaluation. Production orders typically start at 25 kg to optimize logistics efficiency.

Lead Time – Stock items ship within 3-5 business days. Custom specifications require 7-15 business days depending on complexity.

Global Logistics – We partner with FedEx, DHL, EMS, UPS, and TNT for express delivery. Ocean freight is available for bulk orders through established shipping lines.

Customs Support – For customers in Europe and North America without import experience, we provide documentation support and can arrange DDP (Delivered Duty Paid) terms to your facility.

Packaging & Transportation

Standard packaging protects product integrity throughout the supply chain:

• Inner Layer: Medical-grade double polyethylene bags with heat-sealed closures
• Outer Layer: Fiber drums with moisture-barrier lining (25kg net weight standard)
• Labeling: Compliant with international transport regulations, including batch number, manufacture date, and expiration date

We use light-protected, sealed containers and recommend storage at ≤25°C in dry conditions. No cold chain needed, lowering your shipping expenses. Degradation of carotenoids should be prevented by avoiding high temperatures over 35°C and direct UV exposure.

For large orders above 500kg we may provide bespoke packaging with nitrogen flushing and vacuum sealing to enhance shelf life in the long distance travel.
