Product Description
Zeaxanthin from marigold flower is a yellow carotenoid, typically 5–60%, used for macular pigment beside lutein. It is not lutein, and the eye-health dose is a few milligrams, not a colour loading.
Powders are beadlets on a carrier; oils go into softgels. The isomer (3R,3'R) is the one named in eye formulas.
When buying, separate this code from the lutein code, and state beadlet or oil.

Applications
Beadlet Capsules
5–60% changes how much carrier you swallow for the same milligrams.
Colour, Carefully
It is a pigment, but an eye-grade spec is not automatically a food-colour approval.
Dispersible Beadlets
Oil will ring a bottle. Drinks need the beadlet form.
Separate from Lutein
The two carotenoids are different lines, even when they ship from the same flower.
FAQ
Is zeaxanthin the same carotenoid as lutein?
No. Both come from marigold and both sit in the macula. They are different molecules.
What zeaxanthin assay should we expect?
About 5–60% zeaxanthin.
Should we order a beadlet powder or an oil?
Powder beadlet or oil. Say which.
What zeaxanthin range is available?
About 5–60%.
Which flower?
Marigold. Lutein from the same flower is the other code.
