ORO GLO®

For Consistent Pigmentation in Poultry Skin and Eggs

For more than 40 years, Kemin has been the market leader in providing high quality carotenoid products - often referred to as pigments - to the layer industry. ORO GLO®, a source of yellow pigmentation from marigolds, allows egg producers to efficiently and cost effectively improve egg yolk color and increase lutein levels.

The Benefits of Lutein

Xanthophylls are a specific type of carotenoid, and one of the most important xanthophylls is lutein. Lutein is found in high quantities of green, leafy vegetables,1 as well as in marigolds, and plays a significant role in eye health.

  • Promotes overall eye health and brain function2
  • Protects eyes from harmful blue light overexposure3
  • Protects cells from oxidative damage and inflammation4
  • May reduce the risk for and progression of age-related macular degeneration5
  • Supports brain health and infant development2
