Zeaxanthin is a xanthophyll carotenoid pigment primarily extracted from marigold or synthesized chemically. Its molecular formula is C40H56O2 with CAS No. 203-77-0. The core process involves extraction followed by crystallization and purification to ensure high optical purity.
Store in cool, dark places under inert gas to prevent oxidation. Avoid direct sunlight exposure. High-dose clinical use requires medical supervision due to potential lutein absorption competition.
