Description:

WARNING: This product is for research use only, not for human or veterinary use.

Citroxanthin is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment found in certain plants, especially in some citrus fruits and other fruits and vegetables. It is known for its antioxidant properties, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals. Citroxanthin has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory and anticancer effects, though research is still ongoing to fully understand its mechanisms of action and therapeutic applications. As a carotenoid, it also contributes to the color of certain fruits and may offer additional health benefits related to eye health and immune function.
