Organic ORO GLO®

For More Consistent Egg Yolk Color & Additional Lutein Value

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. With the introduction of Organic ORO GLO® to the market, organic egg producers can now offer consumers the same benefits and value found in non-organic eggs. Organic ORO GLO, a source of yellow pigment from marigolds, improves egg yolk color and increases lutein levels. Kemin also offers Organic KEM GLO, a source of orange/red pigment, to further enhance yolk color.

Organic ORO GLO®

  • Sourced from organically grown marigold petals
  • Manufactured to the United States Department of Agriculture's National Organic Program standards
  • Approved for use in organic poultry production

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 marigolds, and plays a significant role in eye health.
