Supporting Young Eyes and Minds with FloraGLO® Lutein

At Kemin, we are dedicated to advancing the science behind lutein, particularly through our flagship ingredient, FloraGLO® lutein. Our commitment to promoting children's health, especially regarding eye health and cognitive development, drives our research and product development efforts. Compelled by curiosity, we continuously explore new ways to enhance the well-being of children.

The Role of Lutein in Children's Health

Kemin introduced FloraGLO lutein to the market 27 years ago, and it is now backed by over 116 clinical studies.¹ We are currently focusing on the children's health sector, recognizing the importance of lutein in this age group.

Children today are exposed to significant amounts of blue light from screens, making lutein's protective properties for the retina—an extension of the brain—crucial.² 

Distinguishing Kemin’s Lutein Offerings

Kemin’s carotenoid portfolio, with FloraGLO lutein at its core, stands out due to its safety, quality, and efficacy. FloraGLO lutein is the only lutein source that is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS)³ for use in infant and pre-term infant formulas. This approval underscores the safety and reliability of our ingredient, providing parents with peace of mind.

Formulating for Children's Products

Creating formulations specifically for children involves unique challenges. Products must be palatable, easy to consume daily, and safe. FloraGLO lutein meets these requirements perfectly. Its versatile flavor profile makes it suitable for various formats, including gummies and beverages, ensuring that children enjoy taking it regularly.

Collaborating with Supplement Manufacturers

At Kemin, we view our relationships with supplement manufacturers as full partnerships. From initial discussions to product development and ongoing support, we work closely with our partners to create successful products. Our Customer Lab Service Group assists with formulation, flavor profiles, and resolving any specific challenges related to our ingredients.

Conclusion

Compelled by curiosity, Kemin continues to lead in the development of innovative solutions for health and wellness. To learn more about FloraGLO lutein and how Kemin can support your formulations to enhance children's health and wellness, please visit Kemin.com.
