What Makes Marigold Flower Extract Lutein The Best Source Of Lutein & Zeaxanthin?

Ingex Botanicals, a trusted marigold extract manufacturer, proudly presents MaQxan®, our premium range of marigold lutein zeaxanthin extracts. These include Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Lutein Ester, and Xanthophyll — all derived from our own cultivated Tagetes erecta (Marigold) flowers. We ensure the highest quality from farm to final product.
With over 19 years of experience, we offer complete “Seed to Shelf” traceability across 250+ standardized grades of marigold flower extract lutein. Our robust Quality Management System (QMS) guarantees full transparency throughout the entire process — from marigold cultivation to the final packaging of Lutein and Zeaxanthin ingredients.
MaQxan® products are scientifically developed using validated methods to retain the natural composition of macular pigments — Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Meso-Zeaxanthin. These natural carotenoids support vision health by protecting against Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), offering Blue Light Protection, and improving Macular Pigment Optical Density (MPOD), visual performance, contrast sensitivity, photo-stress recovery, and reducing glare.
Designed for all age groups, from pediatric to geriatric, MaQxan® is the ideal ingredient for vision care supplements. Recognized as the best Lutein and Zeaxanthin formulation, it is ready to be used in a wide range of carotenoid blends.
MaQxan - Marigold Extract for Eyes and Overall Wellness with Lutein and Zeaxanthin
1. Skin Health (Cosmetic Benefits)
Beyond being a trusted marigold extract for eyes, MaQxan® also supports skin health. Lutein helps protect skin from sun damage, enhances elasticity, and boosts hydration levels. Its powerful antioxidant properties make it ideal for use in “beauty-from-within” supplements, including beauty shots and functional beverages.
2. Cognitive functions (Brain Health)
Studies have shown that Lutein plays a role in improving memory and overall cognitive performance. By supporting eye health, it also indirectly helps with stress reduction and sleep quality — making marigold lutein zeaxanthin a smart choice for brain wellness products.
3. Cardiovascular health
Lutein in marigold flower extract may help regulate inflammation linked to cardiovascular issues. It reduces harmful cytokines and boosts anti-inflammatory responses, supporting better heart health over time.
4. Effects on Metabolic disorders
MaQxan® also contributes to metabolic health. Research suggests that Lutein improves lipid profiles and enhances insulin sensitivity, making it beneficial in managing metabolic conditions.
5. Lung function
Higher intake of marigold flower extract lutein has been associated with improved lung capacity and function. It supports respiratory health by enhancing vital lung metrics such as forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume (FEV).
6. Bone Health
Regular Lutein supplementation has been linked to improved bone mineral density and a reduction in bone loss, especially in older adults. This expands the application of marigold lutein zeaxanthin beyond vision care into aging support.

Clinical Study -1 (MaQxan 202)
A Randomised Placebo-Controlled Clinical Trial To Evaluate The Efficacy Of Marigold Extract On Cognitive Performance And Mood In Adults With Stroke And Parkinson’s Disease
This double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluated the effects of MaQxan 202 (20mg Lutein, 2mg Zeaxanthin daily) on cognitive function in 30 adults with cognitive dysfunction due to stroke or Parkinson’s. Over five weeks, 46.6% of participants receiving MaQxan 202 showed notable improvement on SCAr cognitive tests, while the placebo group showed none. These results suggest MaQxan 202 may support cognitive enhancement.

The Efficacy Of Marigold Extract On Cognitive Performance And Mood In Adults
While macular pigments like Lutein and Zeaxanthin have long been known for supporting eye health, recent advancements in research highlight their powerful impact on cognitive function and brain health as well.
The human brain is highly sensitive to oxidative stress and inflammation, which can contribute to age-related cognitive decline. Scientifically formulated marigold flower extract lutein and Zeaxanthin have shown promising effects in combating oxidative damage and reducing inflammation—key factors in preserving brain function over time.
Multiple studies have demonstrated that elevated levels of Lutein in the bloodstream are linked to enhanced memory, improved learning capacity, and reduced risk of cognitive impairment in older adults. Lutein acts as a natural antioxidant, shielding brain cells from free radical damage and helping maintain their health and communication pathways.
Notably, Lutein deficiency not only increases the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD)—a condition closely tied to vision—but also correlates with cognitive decline. Despite these links, the average dietary intake of Lutein remains low, particularly in the elderly, who may face barriers such as poor nutrition, diminished taste or appetite, and economic limitations.
Emerging research also underscores Lutein’s significance in early life. As infants rely on breast milk for nutrition, maternal intake of Lutein-rich foods or supplements directly influences a child’s brain development. Lutein’s natural presence in memory-related brain regions indicates its critical role in building and maintaining cognitive function from infancy to old age.
MaQxan®, a branded formulation of Tagetes erecta lutein zeaxanthin, has shown compelling results in brain health. In a clinical study involving 30 participants over a 5-week period, 46.6% of subjects in the treatment group demonstrated notable improvement in cognitive function, as measured by standardized cognitive assessments (SCAR).
As a trusted marigold extract manufacturer, Ingex Botanicals has developed MaQxan® using carefully cultivated Tagetes erecta flowers. These flowers are grown under validated agricultural practices and processed using green, ethanol-based extraction methods to preserve the purity of marigold lutein zeaxanthin. MaQxan® is formulated to be safe for all age groups—from children to seniors—and is ideal for use in pediatric brain health supplements, adult cognition formulas, and geriatric support blends.
Each batch of MaQxan® undergoes strict testing for residual solvents, pesticides, heavy metals, and microbial contamination—making it a reliable solution for formulating safe and effective cognitive health supplements.
While this section focuses on Lutein's growing impact on brain health, the journey doesn’t stop here. MaQxan® continues to be part of ongoing research exploring additional benefits of marigold flower extract lutein across wellness categories.

Clinical Study -2 (MaQxan 204)
A Randomized, Double-Blind Placebo-Controlled Cross-Over Clinical Study to Evaluate the Effects of Lutein and Zeaxanthin MaQxan® (204) on Macular Pigment Optical Density (MPOD) and Eye Stress Response Through Protecting Photoreceptor Cells from Blue Light Effects; 3 Arm, 2 Sequence
This 8-month, three-arm cross-over study evaluated MaQxan® (204) in 60 subjects for its effects on MPOD and blue light protection. Group A received MaQxan® (204) throughout, Group B for 4 months followed by placebo, and Group C vice versa. MPOD at 30° eccentricity increased from 0.41 to 0.57 on average, correlating with better visual performance. Results suggest MaQxan® (204) enhances MPOD and may help protect photoreceptor cells from blue light-induced stress.
Good vision starts with regular eye care and a diet rich in carotenoids. The macula, the central part of the retina, contains Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Meso-Zeaxanthin—natural antioxidants that protect the eyes from blue light and reduce the risk of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
Extracted from Tagetes erecta, marigold flower extract lutein is a trusted source of these macular pigments. Supplements made with tagetes erecta lutein zeaxanthin offer natural support for sharper, healthier vision.
Choose marigold extract for eyes to protect and preserve your eyesight naturally.
