EarthHue Lutey-Ferm 130 is a fermentation-derived lutein produced from the microalgae Chlorella vulgaris and formulated as a water-dispersible preparation. It represents a next-generation lutein source that combines natural origin with enhanced bioavailability, addressing a key limitation of conventional synthetic and marigold-extracted lutein products.
Clinical and preclinical studies have demonstrated that fermentation-derived lutein from chlorella exhibits up to three times the oral bioavailability of synthetic free lutein, attributed to its native protein-bound carotenoid complex and favorable particle morphology. This means formulators can achieve target serum and macular pigment levels at lower inclusion rates, reducing cost and simplifying formulation.
The water-dispersible format eliminates the need for oil-based carriers and enables straightforward incorporation into aqueous supplement formulations, functional beverages, fortified waters, and powdered drink mixes — product categories where traditional oil-suspension lutein is difficult to integrate. It is also suitable for tablets, capsules, and gummies.
EarthHue Lutey-Ferm 130 is produced in closed fermentation systems under GMP conditions, ensuring year-round availability, consistent lutein content, and freedom from agricultural contaminants. It complies with EU E161b and holds FDA GRAS status. The product is non-GMO, allergen-free, and suitable for vegan formulations.
For supplement brands and functional food developers who want lutein that works harder in the body and blends more easily in the factory, EarthHue Lutey-Ferm 130 delivers measurable bioavailability advantages in a water-friendly format.
