Carotenóides

trans-Crocetin - 70% is a highly purified carotenoid compound, which is derived from saffron (Crocus sativus) stigmas. Its molecular structure allows it to act as a potent antioxidant, disrupting oxidative stress pathways by scavenging free radicals and inhibiting lipid peroxidation. This mode of action is critical because it can potentially protect cellular components from damage and modulate various biochemical pathways.

Violaxanthin - solution in ethanol is a carotenoid compound, typically used in biochemical and physiological research. This product is derived from natural sources, such as plants and algae, where violaxanthin plays a crucial role in the xanthophyll cycle, contributing to thermal energy dissipation and photoprotection in photosynthetic organisms. The mode of action involves the reversible conversion of violaxanthin to other xanthophylls such as antheraxanthin and zeaxanthin, depending on light conditions, to regulate energy flux and protect against photooxidative damage.

A xanthophyll pigment with characteristic reddish-orange colour. Often added to fish food since it is an essential nutrient for healthy fish growth and reproduction. A strong anti-oxidant with suggested preventative roles in cancer as well as cardiovascular and immunological disease.

Zeaxanthin - 50% is a carotenoid compound, which is a type of naturally occurring pigment found in various fruits and vegetables, especially in corn, saffron, and leafy greens. It belongs to a class of phytochemicals known as xanthophylls, which are crucial for light absorption and protection against photooxidative damage in plants. This particular version is typically derived from natural sources like marigold petals or synthesized for high purity and concentration.
