Production Process
Parry Nutraceuticals takes extreme care in growing and selecting marigold flower varieties under a captive Contract-farming network covering 5000 acres and 3000 progressive farmers to produce high quality Lutein esters.
The Lutein esters are derived from Marigold oleoresin by selective
precipitation and subsequent purification steps by recrystallization,
removing all other unwanted inactive materials like waxes, lipids,
triglycerides and purified to the extent of more than 95% and obtained in
the form of pure crystals free from all impurities and any solvent residues.
The pure crystals are then formulated to desired concentrations ranging from
5% to 40% as "Lutein esters" in the form of powder, beadlets, granules and
oil dispersions, using edible organic carriers like vegetable oils, sucrose,
malto dextrin and lactose. All the ingredients used along with the active
principles are fit for human consumption and are allowed by all
pharmacopoeia as carriers. These bulk formulations are converted into
dosage forms like softgels, capsules, and tablets at appropriate
concentrations based on RDA and supplemented.
A team of experienced and dedicated agro professionals monitors the process and restricts use of pesticides and herbicides to internationally accepted guidelines. The harvested flowers are then dehydrated to prevent further degradation of active ingredients.
