Marigold
Marigolds, also known as Tagetes, is a genus of annual or perennial plants belonging to the family Asteraceae. There are several species of this plant, many of which are used as ornamental plants because of their bright color. Some species, however, are known for their human health benefits.
Marigold extract is rich in antioxidants, in particular
Lutein
, a carotenoid that has been linked to numerous health benefits, including vision protection and prevention of age-related macular degeneration. Here are some of the potential health benefits of Marigold extract:
Eye Health
Marigold extract is a natural source of lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids that play an important role in eye health. These compounds can help protect the eyes from free radical damage and may reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration and cataracts.
Antioxidant Properties
The antioxidants in Marigold extract help neutralize free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can cause damage to the body’s cells. This can help prevent a number of chronic diseases, including heart disease and cancer.
Skin Health
Marigold extract can be used to improve skin health. It may have antibacterial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory properties, which can help treat a variety of skin conditions.
Antimicrobial Properties
Some research suggests that Marigold extract may have antimicrobial properties, which means it can help fight some types of bacteria and fungi.
Remember that although Marigold extract may offer these health benefits, it is important to consult a health care professional before starting any new supplement or treatment. Marigold extract may interact with some medications and may not be suitable for all people.
