KEMIN PHARMA’S ROBUST RESEARCH ON LUTEIN
Traditionally found in fruits and
dark-green leafy vegetables
Extracted from Marigold, processed by Kemin with high quality standards
Primarily used as a natural colorant due to its orange--red color
Lutein and zeaxanthin are
registered in Brazil, Europe and the US
as natural dyes
Due to their exclusive distribution in the lens and in the macula lutea lutein and zeaxanthin are believed to play a protective role in these tissues and to prevent several maculopathies.

*Lutein is thought to scavenge ROS generated during inflammatory process and to interfere inintracellular pathways leading to the expression of various pro-inflammatory molecules.12,13
Lutein absorbs blue light at wavelengths around 450 nm with a peak of absorption at 446 nm.11

Following the rational and benefits of Lutein in the Human Eye, KEMIN Pharma developed a full range of Lutein based intraocular dyes, containing Lutein alone or using Lutein in combination with the “gold standard” synthetic dyes.
LUTEIN BASED INTRAOCULAR DYES
Lutein-based dyes interact through non-chemical bonding with surrogate intraocular membrane models without altering their molecular structure.
