The peel of bananas contains important compounds from the Flavonoids group, such as Kaempferol, Quercetin and Leucocyanidin, which possess anti-inflammatory properties. (Pothavorn, P., 2010) Additionally, there have been reports of the prevention of gastric ulcers attributed to Leucocyanidin in raw banana fruit after consuming Leucocyanidin at a dosage HED = 4.05 mg/kg/day for 48 hours.

Scientific Name: Tagetes Erecta
INCI: Tagetes Erecta Flower Extract
CAS No.: 90131-43-4
Appearance: fine powder
Color: yellow
Active Compounds: Lutein

Efficiency Dose:
Marigold flower contains compounds of Luteolin, which are carotenoids. (Breithaupt et al., 2002) A clinical study, where participants were given a daily dose of 5 mg of lutein-containing products for a period of 12 weeks, found that oral administration of lutein may offer superior protection. This was observed through changes in lipid peroxidation and photoprotective activity in the skin following UV light exposure. (Palombo, P. et al., 2007)

Safe Consumption of Lutein:
According to the toxicological evaluation of lutein food safety, the ADI value of JECFA is 2 mg/(kg·d) (Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives, & World Health Organization, 2005).
