Xanthophyll palmitate（Cat No.:I038395）is a carotenoid ester, formed by the esterification of xanthophyll (a type of carotenoid pigment) with palmitic acid. Xanthophylls are known for their antioxidant properties, and they play a role in protecting cells from oxidative stress and inflammation. Xanthophyll palmitate, specifically, is studied for its potential health benefits, including its role in eye health, particularly in preventing age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It is also explored for its possible anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective effects. While its use is primarily in research, xanthophyll palmitate may eventually be considered for dietary supplements or therapeutic applications.
