In the human body found in carotenoids include d a-carotene, P 1 carrot category, cryptoxanthin, lutein, lycopene, and are not flavin. Medical experiments prove that the plant contains natural lutein is an excellent anti-oxidant in food by adding a certain amount of lutein can prevent cellular senescence and aging body organs, but can also prevent age-related macular degeneration eye due to decreased vision and blindness, through a series of medical research, carotenoids have been proposed as cancer prevention agents, life-prolonging agent, ulcers resist agent, a heart attack and coronary artery disease resistance agent.

Function:

a. Lutein as skin cancer inhibitor and care skin. b. Lutein as inhibitor of LDL cholesterol Oxidizing. c. Lutein as inhibitor of tumor and cancer. d. Lutein and its oxidative metabolites in chemoprevention of cancer. e. Lutein as inhibitor of blood-vessel clogging. f. Lutein delays lung aging. Lutein as inhibitor of arthritis.
g. Lutein as AMD inhibitor, Cataract inhibitor, and eyes benefitor.

Application:

1. For eye protection: Lutein can absorb blue light. The sun's ultraviolet, blue light into eyes will produce a large number of free radicals, cause cataracts, macular degeneration and even cancer. The human's eye contains high level of lutein which can not be produced by human' bodies and which must be supplemented by intake of it. Studies show that intake of lutein will help slow the aging, degradation, disease occur of eyes and reduce the incidence of eye-diseases and protect the retina from light damage.
2. Used as a pigment: Orange natural pigment is widely used in chicken feed and also in some food, but the scope is limited because they do not dissolve in water.
3. Anti-oxidant: The latest studies show that lutein is helpful for the treatment of heart disease and may prevent arterial wall thickening.
