Lutein Ingredients For Different Formulation Needs

Kingsci offers various Lutein Formulations to manufacturers who are creating nutritional products, such as dietary supplements, functional foods, beverages, etc. Each of these falls under various types of formulation and dosage-form requirements and includes conventional , as well as microencapsulated, esterified, and oil-based forms.

Lutein demands are variable, such as the finished product, dosage form, processing conditions, and specification of the target ingredient. However, unlike using a single product for each application, manufacturers may choose a lutein product that is best suited for the formulation's intended use.

For Dry Formulations

Lutein Powder and Lutein Ester Powder are dry formulations that are suitable for tablet and capsule manufacturers, premix, sachet, and other solid nutritional product manufacturers.

For Dispersion-Focused Formulations

When dispersion and/or handling of dry ingredients are significant factors in a formulation, Lutein Microcapsule Powder can be used in a selected dry blend or in a powdered nutritional product or formulation.

To ensure safe delivery with oil-based formulations.

Lutein Oil and Lutein Ester Oil both come in an oil-based format, which is suitable for softgels and other compatible lipid-based formulations.

The importance of ingredient form.

Formulation options (free lutein, lutein ester, capsule powder, powder, or oil) should be determined in conjunction with the final product and process used.

[Find the Right Lutein Format]

It's not just the assay when it comes to choosing a Lutein Ingredient. The physical form and the process conditions may also impact the ingredient's suitability for the final product.

Dosage Form

Identify the final form of the product, such as powder, tablet/capsule, softgel, liquid, or other, before choosing the form of the ingredient.

Target Lutein Level

The required concentration of lutein needs to be taken into account along with the dose to be administered and the entire composition of the formulation.

Dispersion Requirements

The dispersion of the ingredient in the formulation may affect the decision to select the conventional or encapsulated formulation, for selected dry or liquid systems.

Oil Compatibility

If the formulation is based around a compatible lipid carrier or if an oil-filled delivery system is used, then it is safer to use oil-based lutein.

Processing Conditions

Filling and other manufacturing factors should be considered during ingredient selection and formulation trials, including how they are mixed, temperature is exposed to, and the conditions and temperature of filling.

The type of finished product may require different solutions of Lutein Ingredients.

Tablets

Formulations of lutein for solid dosage forms that are dry.

Capsules

Ingredients for conventional capsule formulation, in powder form.

Softgels

Formulations of lutein and lutein ester in oils for use with oil-filled systems.

Nutritional Powders

Chosen to produce powdered nutritional products (dry or encapsulated lutein).

Sachets & Premixes

Portioned powder and multi-ingredient product dry ingredients for Lutein.

Functional Foods & Beverages

Identified lutein in suitable formats to meet the requirements for dispersion, processing, and product matrix.

Selecting ingredients is just one aspect of sourcing for manufacturers. A commercial ingredient should be appropriate for the technical and supply needs of the project.

Specification

Verify the product specifications, including the form of the lutein, the level, the physical form, and other requirements.

Sample Evaluation

Ask for a sample to test and develop the formulation before mass production.

Documentation

Technical documentation can consist of COA, TDS, MSDS, stability data, and other supporting documents as required based on product and project specifications.

Supply Requirements

When going from the laboratory evaluation to commercial sourcing, the following factors should be considered: MOQ, packaging format, lead time, and expected annual volume.

Custom Requirements

When ordering in bulk, please consult the Kingsci technical team regarding the specifications needed for the project based on specific requirements such as assay, physical, packaging, and/or formulation.
