Description
Zeaxanthin 5% CWS (cold water soluble) powder represents a breakthrough in the application of natural carotenoids in water-based systems. This innovative product features Zeaxanthin, known chemically as 3,3'-dihydroxy-β-carotene, a prominent member of the isoprenoids group with a molecular weight of 568.85. Sourced from green leafy vegetables, flowers, fruits, wolfberries, and yellow corn, this oxygenated xanthophyll is celebrated for its vivid coloration and natural origin. Unlike its traditionally oil-soluble counterparts, our Zeaxanthin 5% CWS powder dissolves effortlessly in cold water, making it exceptionally versatile for a wide range of applications in food, health products, and cosmetics. As an isomer of lutein, it also works synergistically with other carotenoids to enhance natural pigment blends, providing both aesthetic and health benefits.
